Hitching out
Hitchhiking either East or West from Calgary is fairly straightforward -- take a bus as far as you can, walk until you're in a sparsely populated area, and begin hitchhiking. The city has an urban sprawl problem and grows physically larger every year, so you may have to walk quite a ways. For those heading west, the first place where it is possible to hitchhike unfettered is a traffic light some distance past Olympic Park, which is recognizable from a distance by its ski jumping structure and is serviced by city buses. Bear in mind that the suburbs of Calgary are expanding so rapidly that this information may be out of date before long.
