7 days in Canmore Itinerary

Bordered by the spectacular peaks of the Alberta Rockies, within a stone's throw of Banff National Park, the town of Canmore serves as an excellent base for outdoor adventures.

Discover out-of-the-way places like Lake Agnes and Vermilion Lakes. Give yourself a bit of retail therapy at Beeland and Mut Hut Pet Emporium Inc.. Get out of town with these interesting Canmore side-trips: Kootenay National Park (in Radium Hot Springs), Lake Louise (in Lake Louise), Surprise Corner (in Banff) and Takakkaw Falls (in Yoho National Park). There's much more to do: Head underground at Canmore Cave Tours, stop by Banff Indian Trading Post, take in the awesome beauty at Sulphur Mountain, and identify plant and animal life at Canmore Nordic Centre Provincial Park.
