TripAdvisor writes: You won’t find a better adventure vacation than Canmore. Catapulted to fame for its part in the 1988 Winter Olympics, this former coal-mining town has transformed into a nirvana for outdoor enthusiasts. Hiking, biking, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, paddle-boarding, horseback riding, caving and rock climbing are just some of the scenic pursuits. Foodies will marvel at downtown Canmore’s trendy restaurants or a tour of the unique Grizzly Paw Brewing Company. First stop for most winter guests is the ski trails in Canmore Nordic Centre Provincial Park, providing fresh powder amongst the great Rocky Mountains. Imagine a condo right on the golf course, a penthouse rental with mountain views, or an affordable ski home right next to the slopes. You’ll spend just $1,085 per week on average for a two-bedroom.
