route around calgary, ab

From which direction are you coming from?
Which direction are you going?

The city bypass route covers all quadrants EXCEPT S to W (or W to S).

To go S to W you must take S to E to N to W.

sorry about that enblethen, comming from sweetgrass, mt going north

I would stay on Can 2. Go through midday!

Be sure to fill up with fuel before you leave Montana.

You can avoid Calgary altogether by taking highway #23 through Vulcan (be sure to stop to see the space ship landing pad there). It is a two lane road but in good condition.

Hwy 2 is also known as the Deerfoot in city limits, if you avoid it during rush hours morning and night (albeit since the oil collapse it takes us a quarter of the time it used to during rush hours!) to get through. By choice I always use the Deerfoot Hwy 2, heading North and South. Even done it with 37ft A Class towing a horse box when huge construction on. Three Lanes plus, but can be stationary on occasion during rush hours. 10.30am to 2pm is a breeze, as is 10pm to 6.30am, 2.30pm on Fridays she starts to build up during nicer weather as locals take off early for weekend.

what about 201, is it toll road? i am 40 ft and f150 toad. sincerly richard

Route 2 to 201 (Stoney Trail) and 201 north until it meets route 2 again north of the city will bypass Calgary completely, but -- why?

Calgary is definitely worth a stop for a day or two. Great world class city with a western flair.

Tolls? None
