The Rockies: Black and White by Craig Richards

What is it that compels me to be in the mountains? It would be simple to say that I find there a sense of tranquillity and solitude. But it is more than that. The mountains challenge me to find a voice that will express not where I have been but who I am. Photographing them has become, for me, an obsession of the heart.

Canmore and Kananaskis Country

Local Museums

Longtime residents and more recent arrivals are united in their interest in Canmore's rich and varied history, much of which can be found at the Canmore Centennial Museum located on 7th Avenue, north of Main Street (8th Street).

Scenic Drives throughout Canmore and Kananaskis are tough to miss...

but here's a few of our favorites which offer some of the most inspiring views. If these sound too normal for you - contact us and we would be happy to make some more recommendations.

Canmore hikes and walking trails

The best way to get to know Canmore and the surrounding area is on foot. And with a network of walking trails through town, along the river side and into mountain valleys, you won't want to forget your camera.

Discover Lake Louise

Plenty of activities for non-hikers and skiers at Lake Louise

What to do if you don't ski or hike? We've organized things by month, but some activities could be done in multiple months or multiple seasons. Scan this whole page for ideas.

Round out your Icefields Parkway tour

Stretch your legs at one of the short trails along the way. Not only does Bow Summit offer one of the most famous views in the Rockies (Peyto Lake), but also a short interpretive trail that meanders through high elevation meadows.

Moraine Lake - Don't miss our "other" lake

The next stop in the immediate Lake Louise vicinity is our other fabulous lake, Moraine Lake (open in summer only). Moraine can be extremely busy by noon, so it is important to get an early start on the day. Enjoy a hearty breakfast, then head out (say, before 9:30 am) to the shore of Moraine Lake where adventures large and small await.

Lake Louise: The Hiking Capital of Canada

Everyone's immediate goal is to get to the world famous view at the lakeshore. But why not build in some anticipation? You'll only be a virgin once, so timing is crucial! To make this moment the best it can be, you must avoid the lakeshore from 10 am to 4 pm (in summer), when the crowds are at their peak.
