Trip to Winter Wonderland Trip, Day 2 : Stroll to Bow River

We bundled up after breakfast to head out for a major stroll. We had purchased many winter items through Costco to stay warm, including snow pants and shoes. I took note of some nearby Calgary landmarks that would be interesting to see, not knowing if we could reach them by foot, depending on the weather and how cold it would be for us. We soon found out that as long as we were moving, we stayed comfortably warm (except for our faces).

People in the city were working so hard, clearing the walkways, even if we might be the only ones crossing them. We walked along the Bow River, to Prince's Island Park and eventually to the Peace Bridge. Everywhere was quite peaceful and serene, so much untouched snow. We were one of only a few people crazy enough to enjoy the chilly outdoors, but the beauty of it all made it so easy to enjoy. The "stroll" ended up being 5 miles once we returned to the hotel.
