This is the most iconic and accessible hike out of Canmore and provides amazing views of the Bow Valley. You could take kids up it too since its a shorter hike. The first half up is forest trail and the second half above the tree line was recently improved to incorporate a number of staircases. The staircases make the too much easier to scale. For a regular Joe and Jane this hike will take 3-4 hours total.

One of Canada’s most beautiful lakes. Great for paddle boarding, canoeing, or walking. Not always possible to get in, however, as the park staff monitor traffic and close the road if it is too busy. Back up plan - Lake Louise.
