I am going to travel by Greyhound and stay in hostels. I plan on traveling for roughly 15 days. I am pretty frugal with my money, but would like to see if anyone else has done a similar trip and could help approximate how much my travels may cost me. I am also interested in any suggestions on what to see or do across Canada (except for Ottawa, since that is where I'm from!), as well as any beneficial tips for a first time solo female traveler! Thank you!  SharkLady Kari J. Dammerman Post Count: 12 Msg: #2 94 weeks ago, March 11th 2008 | Hey! I stayed in a really nice little hostel in Whitehorse. There wasn't much to see in the Yukon at the end of August, but it was a cute little place!! I highly recommend the hostel too -- the Jekyll on Hyde Street or something like that. It was pretty cute and the people were awesome!! |  thecalgarianbarbarian Jess Post Count: 2 Msg: #3 84 weeks ago, May 19th 2008 | Calgary is great during July - Stampede! It is ten days long, and it starts on the first Friday of July and runs through until a Sunday later. It really is the best time to be there because all the oil-lovin' workaholic Calgarians flood out of the office towers for ten days to blow off steam and party. The Stampede hosts the world's biggest rodeo and best parties of the year, kind of like the Oktoberfest of Canada. | [I]That said, it is more expensive during the actual Stampede itself, so if you are on a really tight budget I would suggest coming the week before Stampede when everybody is anticipating the events and still in a great mood. The hotels/hostels will be cheaper, but nonetheless you need to make reservations in advance because there will be a lot of tourists. After that, head more north to Canmore and Banff to see some of the best mountain scenery in the world. Lake Louise is great too. Good luck with your trip.
