The leaves are changing, the temperature is cooling, and the nights are getting longer… all sure signs that it’s time to celebrate Banff Pride!
Canmore / Kananaskis
The area of Canmore was originally called Châ Ûpchîchîyen Kudebi by the Stoney Nakoda people. The town was settled by Europeans because of the coal mines in the area. It has since turned into a booming tourism hub and the basecamp for Canadian Rockies adventure. Canmore is located just outside the gates to Banff National Park, and it boasts its own mountain culture that welcomes travellers from around the globe. Nearby Kananaskis has some of the best accessible backcountry trail systems in the Rockies.
