Things To Do In Canmore

Points of Interest

Things to Do

1) Hike / Walk to Grassi Lakes

This is a popular but manageable hike: about 4 km round-trip for the easier route, and it leads to brilliant turquoise lakes + waterfall views.

2) Explore the Town (Downtown & Main Street)

Wander the pedestrian-friendly Main Street (which may be closed to vehicles or partly so in the warmer months).

3) Visit the Canmore Nordic Centre & Trails

Originally built for the ’88 Winter Olympics, this facility transitions into a great summer playground: hiking, mountain biking, disc golf, etc.
