Located just a few kilometres from Banff, Canmore is a charming quiet town.
As it is just outside the national park limits it has not yet succumbed to souvenir shops and the busy pace of life which comes with tourism.
It has some lovely restaurants and bed and breakfasts and can be a better alternative base to explore the national park, especially during the peak summer months.
