Walk

We believe it’s about the journey as much as it’s about the destination – that’s why the best way to get around is on foot! Canmore offers an extensive network of multi-use trails extending throughout the town and beyond to surrounding recreation areas. With our varied trail systems, from maintained gravel path systems to paved trails, it’s easy to get where you need to be.

No matter what the season, residents and visitors alike take advantage of the beautiful multi-use pathways, cyclist amenities, and bike-friendly businesses Canmore has to offer. Trade in four wheels for two and discover how easy it is to navigate around town by bike while soaking in the mountain views.

No bike? No problem! Pick up a rental at one of our preferred retailers.
