Hiking Trails
The turquois colour of the water is a must to see in Canmore and is considered an easy trail hike.
These lakes are tucked in between the mountains of Ha Ling and East Rundle. No picnic tables that I recall, but little benches along the trail that loops around both small lakes is a perfect spot to stop, eat and enjoy the view

We did this hike last summer with me carrying my baby boy in my Ergo and my husband carrying our toddler girl in the dueter backpack. We found this a perfect hike for a family. Beautiful waterfalls at the end to find a seat and eat a picnic!

If your goal is to reach one mountain peak while here, this is a good one to tackle. It's about 4 hours round trip for beginners. It's a steep incline with switchbacks. I'd recommend using hiking poles, bring some food/snacks and water. The views of Canmore and the whole Bow Valley is breathtaking. Arrive early as well, this hike can get VERY busy especially in summer.

This is Banff's smallest summit, located right in the heart of Banff. It's also a good beginner hike for anyone looking for a peak that isn't too long of a day, just 2.3km and 300 metres elevation gain. Stunning views of Banff, Mount Rundle, Fairmont Banff Springs golf course. A very popular short hike in Banff.

If you want to hike close to Dead Man's and that you can see from the balcony of the condo then we recommend trying Pigeon Mountain. This is considered a moderate hike at 17.4 Km and 1188 elevation gain. Bring a lunch, snacks and water for a good day hike with stunning views right in your backyard!

Lac Minnewanka
Johnston Canyon
Bow Valley ParkwayThe Big Beehive Hike + The Plains of 6 Glaciers
A shorter hike would be to the top of the Beehive and back. We added on the Plains of 6 Glaciers, which turned into a 18 kms hike. Such a beautiful hike, with gorgeous views of the turquoise water and Chateau Lake Louise, a couple of waterfalls, and 1 or 2 teahouses if you decide to do both stops.
