the most developed rock-climbing site in the Canadian Rockies. Canmore also hosted the
Nordic events of the 1988 Winter Olympic Games and is the home of the Alpine Club of
Canada.
You can include Canmore in your itinerary in a variety of ways. The most obvious one
is to make the town a base for your Canadian Rockies vacation. The advantages are less-
crowded streets, better-priced accommodations, a choice of family-friendly lodgings, and
a central location (Banff is a 15-minute drive to the west and Kananaskis Country is a
40-minute drive southeast). Campers should keep in mind that there are much nicer camp-
grounds elsewhere in the region. If you decide to stay in Banff instead, there's no reason
to relocate to Canmore for a night or two—simply visit the town as part of a day trip (or
two).
