There are not too many nice twisties within 10 minutes of city limit in Calgary, but the best route for a sunday afternoon drive that takes less than 3 hours would be to go on highway 8 (Glenmore Trail) out of town, then go south on Highway 22 into Bragg Creek, onto Highway 758, then turn east (left) onto highway 22, and back within city limits in Southern Calgary. For double the fun we could head backwards after 5km or so of Highway 22 and do the twisty bits again and head back to Westhills.

There is also a very nice twisty bit of road (but only about 3km long) just behind Strathcona heading onto highway 1. The road is "Old Banff Coach Road"
