As we begin to feel the crisp fall air in the Rockies we look forward to the change of season, which for some might signal a shortage of things to do in Canmore. When the autumnal hues start to flourish we begin to sip warm cups of tea, and become wrapped up in cozy blankets by roaring fires.
Although it is in our nature to stay inside when the temperatures start to drop, there is still plenty to do in Canmore during shoulder season. Enjoy what Downtown Canmore has to offer, from leisurely bike rides enjoying the scenery to warming soups. There is no shortage of activities to make for the coziest of days and evenings in Canmore.
Bike the Three Sisters Pathway
Pump up your bike tires and go for a spin along the riverside on the Three Sisters Pathway starting at West Canmore Park. Take in the changing autumnal hues and the much anticipated view of the larches. If you’re lucky you may even spot some wildlife along the way.
No bike? No problem! With a variety of sports and equipment stores in Downtown Canmore, check out Bicycle Cafe, Rebound Cycle or Switching Gear to get you suited up for your next cycling adventure!
