We took this tour in early October and it was sunny and no snow, so maybe a bit lucky, although a Jacket was still required. The tour starts at the Rec center, goes along Bow river, by an old mine, across a couple really cool old bridges, then down through the center of the historic down-town area. Our guide knew about the geology of the area, the ancient history of the natives, the settlers of Canmore including some of the prominent figures in the area historically, the economic and political forces that shaped the history of the area, and are still shaping it. We had a great time.

As you stroll through the charming streets and trails of Canmore, we visit key local landmarks, where your guide shares captivating stories and historical photos. At each stop, we learn about the coal miners who labored tirelessly in the nearby Bow Valley, mining coal that fueled the growth of Western Canada during the early 20th century. Along the way, we also explore picturesque trails that provide stunning views of the surrounding mountains and rivers, reinforcing the connection between the land and the lives of those who worked it. The tour immerses participants in the unique culture of Canmore, offering a deeper understanding of its rich history and the enduring legacy of those who laid the foundations of this picturesque town. Whether you’re drawn by the allure of cowboy tales or the gritty realities of mining life, this tour is a moving tribute to the hardworking individuals who shaped the Canmore we know today. Time: 1.5 hour round trip Distance: 3-5km / 2-3mi
