Branch 65 of the Canadian Slovak League in Calgary organizes trips primarily to the beautiful surrounding countryside. In 2008 we hiked to a greater height than Gerlach, to the glacier at Mt. Rae (3218 m) which starts at 2700 m. Other trips were to the Prairie Mountain and in 2009 we visited the waterfall on Sheep River then allegoric parade and professional rodeo in Pincher Creek in southern Alberta, and at the end of the season, after so much walking in the mountains we relaxed in a natural thermal pool in the pearl of the Canadian Rocky Mountains – Town of Banff.
