Who had been to Calgary, Edmonton and the Canadian Rockies (Banff, Jasper) recently?
I think it's been about 15 years since I was in Calgary. The first time I went hiking up in B.C., Canada I drove from Fargo, ND, to Winnipeg, Manitoba, and flew to Castlegar, BC, with a 5-hour layover in Calgary, which I used to visit the zoo. On that trip I learned that Castlegar is sometimes called Cancelgar because of how often flights in and out have to be cancelled due to cloud cover. The next summer I took the train to Spokane and a shuttle from there instead. And by the following summer I had moved to Spokane and from then on drove up, so never went to Calgary again.
I've never been to Edmonton.
I've been to both Banff and Jasper, but not recently. I was in the Canadian Rockies last summer and the summer before that. Last summer at a hiking lodge near Golden, BC, and the summer before at Lake Louise. I've also been to Waterton and Yoho. In Yoho I visited the Burgess Shale.
The Selkirk mountains sometimes informally get lumped together with the Rockies, but are not the Rockies properly speaking. I went there nearly every summer for ten or twelve years. And the Rockies almost as often.
So I guess this is a very long-winded way of answering your question "Not me." Unless you meant to say "or" rather than "and," since I've never been to Edmonton.
