What to do and see in Canmore, Canadian Rockies: The Best Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers

June 14, 2021 Diedre Savory

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.

Reviewed By N5646PDkenh - Canmore, Canada

I have rented equipment and had skis tuned at GearUp many times over the past 15 years and confirm they are the best rental shop in the Rockies. I base this statement on personal experience and the fact that GearUp has: 1. a wide selection of new high-quality equipment, 2. knowledgeable and friendly staff, 3: convenient location and efficient process to minimize wait time. I really appreciated the safety precautions they have taken around COVID i.e. one-way flow: in one door, get Geared Up and out another separate door.
