Tours & Activities in Canmore
Canmore stands proudly at what could be described as the gateway to the Canadian Rockies. As the main town between Calgary and Banff National Park, it tempts visitors with dramatic granite peaks like the Three Sisters, wild, blue waters teeming with fish and stunningly beautiful rugged terrain. It also spoils them with a diverse range of experiences that stimulate and challenge both body and mind. Adrenalin junkies, nature lovers, outdoor enthusiasts and even spa sophisticates will enjoy being seduced by the activities available in the area.
ENJOYING THE SUMMER SUNSHINE...
... on the water When the sun starts to peek out from behind the clouds of winter, Canmore's activities blossom like the spring flowers on the hills surrounding the town. The Bow River and others in the area flow with snow melt, the Spray Lakes Reservoir and Barrier Lake thaw and fishers can enjoy both fly and lure fishing. Guided trips are available from companies such as Banff Fishing Unlimited and Wapiti Sports and Outfitters, which also provide equipment and supplies for the many independent fishermen who visit the region. Those seeking other thrills on the water can try floating, kayaking or rafting the Bow, Kananaskis, Horseshoe or Kicking Horse rivers.
... on two feet Plenty of alfresco adventure is also available without getting the feet wet. Golf enthusiasts can swing their way through a round or two at any one of the six world-class courses close by, including Silvertip and Stewart Creek in Canmore. For those who, like Mark Twain, believe "golf is a good walk spoiled," the options that the remarkable landscape presents are far reaching and breathtaking. Hikers can choose from multi-day organized hiking and camping trips on which participants learn about nature ecology (some with helicopter assisted starts) to self-guided day-long hikes like the 21-km (13-mi) Centennial Ridge hike or the more leisurely Grassi Lakes Hiking Trail.
