10 Best Breweries in Canmore

"Three Bears is the new kid in town, and its rooftop patio status comes with a twist. The windowed roof of the second floor is retractable and can be opened or closed according to the weather. The brewery's sourdough pizza crust is quickly becoming legendary among locals, and there's a general consensus that a flight of craft beer is the best way to wash it down."

"This is the new patio on the block and you don’t want to miss it. Complete with personal fires and a ‘winter warmer’ cocktail menu, this is a great spot to have your après back in town. Located on Bear Street, dogs welcome!"

"The scenic blue Lake Minnewanka has much to offer the outdoors recreationalist: hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing and booing. Winter activities include cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. It is a nature photographer’s dream, with gorgeous scenery and an abundance of wildlife, including deer, bears, mountain sheep and elk."

"Close to Two Jack Lake, Lake Minnewanka has been used by the First Nations Communities 10,000 years ago. Facing north, it's a very popular place to view the Aurora Borealis. My favourite views are the ones of Mount Inglismaldie."

"Just a little way down the road from Barrier Lake in Kananaskis Country, you can find O’Shaughnessy Falls. Only a short walk from the parking lot you’ll be able to spot these beautiful frozen waterfalls. It is a great place for a visit with babies and toddlers as you can see the frozen cascade from the parking lot."

"Sulphur Mountain overlooks the Town of Banff and while some may choose to hike it, we are taking the Banff Gondola. With boardwalks and observation decks at an elevation of over 2,000m, Sulphur Mountain is the perfect spot to take in the incredible beauty of the Rocky Mountains. You can learn more at the Above Banff interpretive centre, which also houses two spots to eat: the Northern Lights Cafe for more casual fare, and Sky Bistro - a sanctuary in the sky."

"The discovery of this natural hot spring on Sulphur Mountain, and desire to protect it, led to the creation of Banff National Park. Inside the cave you can admire the sparkling turquoise waters, while outside you can see a steaming thermal water basin."

"After exploring the Banff town, head to the Sulphur mountains. The Banff Sightseeing Gondola is located 5 minutes from the Town of Banff."

"The Vermilion Lakes are a trio of lakes just minutes from the town of Banff, and they offer awesome shots of Mount Rundle. There are many photography vantage points located on the side of the lake by the road, most of which will give a great shot of the mountain reflected on the water. That said, if you’re looking to get the absolute best shots of the Vermillion Lakes and Mount Rundle, I’d recommend staying at the Fairmont Banff Springs."

"This is one of the most popular spots for elopements and wedding photography in Banff. It’s 5 minutes out of town so it’s easy to cram in a quick shoot here between your wedding and your reception (if it’s in Banff). It also gets fantastic afternoon/evening light which tends to line up perfectly with your typical wedding schedule."

"Sitting at the foot of Mount Rundle and a 5-minute drive from the township of Banff, Vermilion Lakes are a series of 3 shallow lakes. To reach them, take Vermilion Lakes Road, a scenic 4.3-kilometre route. When the water is calm, the lakes provide a perfect reflection of the surrounding mountains."

"You've finally made it to the Bow Valley!!!. I bet Whistler seems like an age away. Canmore is where I spent majority of my time when living in Canada. Call this place home for the next few days and thank me later!"

"Maybe because everyone is fueling up for a big day in the mountains, morning meal spots abound and many do it really right. Brunos Bar and Grill is one such place that serves a killer breakfast and mounds of it at a reasonable price. Veggie options are available yet the menu is definitely pig heavy."
