Stopped in on drive through to Calgary. Excellent pool facility, 10 lane 25m lap pool, kept slightly cool for good workouts; play pool was considerably warmer, with 2 lap lanes, river run, water slide. Large open area, lots of light. Showers/change rooms large and clean. Lots of open lane swim times each day. Also in same building are some awesome climbing walls, cardio/weight room, and the local library.

Such a nice little Catholic Church and mass is always uplifting and enjoyable ????????????. The new location is quite far away which is unfortunate.

I walked a portion of this trail (about 2 km) on September 27, 2020. I enjoyed discovering this pretty little trail through town and it was such a gem! The trail led along a section of wooden boardwalks through an open grassy area and along the creek on a gravel path through the woods. There were lots of amazing views along the way. It was a very peaceful trail, flat and easy, and a nice place to go for a relaxing walk.

What a great find doing this drive. Apparently part of this road is closed down come December so the animals can enjoy no traffic. Lots of places to explore off the highway. Many places to take hikes to see falls etc There are animal warnings because this is the wilderness so be prepared and read signs. Takes a whole day to exlpore if you plan to stop and explore. Some hikes are short with nice rewards. Example Troll Falls. Also the resort by golf course has amazing views.

Yes the road is rough and dusty. But very driveable at safe speed. I'd say it is better in the winter in good weather conditions. It is well plowed and sanded. But it is a mountain road so be prepared for severe winter conditions. No cell service back there. Lots of people are skating on the lakes at the moment (Dec 6 weekend). Very little snow and the lakes are clear.
8. Big Head Sculpture

Canmore can be interpreted as "Big Head" in Gaelic, so what else would you have as a piece of public art but a big head. This photogenic statue features in many tourist pictures, and gets decorated from time to time, whenever there's a special event in town. You can't miss it at the beginning of Main Street. Stop and smile, and enjoy the scenery.
