Things to do in Canmore, Canadian Rockies: The Best Sightseeing Tours

February 11, 2022 Kelli Reichel

Catapulted to fame for its part in the 1988 Winter Olympics, this former coal-mining town in the Canadian Rockies is a perfect base for visiting some of the country’s most impressive national parks. First stop for most visitors is the ski trails in Canmore Nordic Centre Provincial Park. Contemplate natural wonders at the Museum and Geoscience Centre, and mush through the snow on a sled-dog tour.

Spent a fun day with Shauna hiking Wasootch Ridge. There were amazing views from the top! Kananaskis has been Shauna's playground for many years and she knows it inside out. She has a wealth of knowledge of the local flora and fauna and this really added to the adventure as I'm a bit of a plant geek. Shauna is a 'safety first' kind of guide and I felt totally at ease hiking in bear country with her. I highly recommend her!

It was such an amazing night. We were so lucky to have a private tour by Jacob. He was amazingly knowledgeable, understanding and funny. I would recommend anyone who loves to watch the stars, walk in nature and get lost in the moment where you can forget your daily challenges. It was one of the most beautiful and breathtaking experiences we have ever experienced.
