Stairs lead you down to the bottom of the gorge. There are hiking trails to scenic spots. A pontoon-boat takes you on a ride through the 229 foot high Gorge. Visit the Grand Falls Museum, farmers market and marina in town. It is a beautiful newly built log Inn, with luxury accommodations and first class food. A Bear and Bison Inn is located on a mountain in beautiful and unforgettable Canmore, Alberta. Downtown Canmore is a picturesque quaint town with the Rocky Mountains in the background as you look down the Main Street. There are an abundance of little shops such as fudge & ice cream store, a candy store, souvenir shops, there are several restaurants downtown, but we chose Murietta's Bar and Grill, a local favorite. With very delicious first class culinary fare and beautiful music, with its cozy and warm hearth, vaulted ceilings and majestic beams, combined with rays of natural light flooding in through the ample glass windows, it is certain to please the eye as much as the palate. Overall, I enjoyed this vacation because the scenery was beautiful, the food was first class, and the inn was large, accommodating, and beautiful. There is a lot to do nearby such as skiing, the gondola in Banff, hiking, and walking by the Bow River. In summer there is rafting, float trips and tours for all ages in the Bow River. There is a year round trail that loops around the river and a rustic old bridge at the end. It's a local favorite for weddings and pictures. This is all within a 10 minute walk of downtown. All the experiences were the best I have ever enjoyed mostly because of the scenery, the feeling and ambiance of the town of Canmore. I have been to many other places and this one is defiantly 5 star. This particular site has been used for over 5,000 years. A number of special events and native festivals are held each year. Tipi camping is available where you can spend the night in canvas tipis, and experience living off the land with a Blackfoot guide. They have lots of untracked powder that stays light, dry and ideal for skiing or snowboarding. It's a winter vacation in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
