Keep your camera handy to capture the deer

by scottishvisitor

Driving empty roads in Kananaskis is a perfect opportunity to spot deer & other wildlife.
The roads are scenic and provide a pleasant drive through cattle ranches - horse ranches & great mountain scenery.

The Three Sisters

by madamx

Visible from the Trans Canada, and a well-known landmark, The Three Sisters stand watch over the town of Canmore.

They were named in 1883 by Major A.B. Roger, who discovered the Roger's Pass. It was snowing heavily one night, and he looked up at the three peaks -- calling them The Three Nuns. This eventually evolved into The Three Sisters.

Canmore On A Wet Day

by Mikebb

"Overnight Stay"

Our over night stay in Canmore was not long enough to see and enjoy the district, we just had enough time to walk through the town, enjoy the magnificent view of the Rocky Mountains, and have dinner at a local restaurant.

It would have been great to have hiked a mountain trail, but we had booked accommodation at Banff and had to move on.

"Walk Into Town"

A 10 minute walk from our hotel and we were in the town centre.

"Our Hotel For The Night"

Our hotel for the night, on the side of a hill overlooking the town, and with nice views of the mountains.

"Bad Weather Approaching"

Along the walk to the town centre, bad weather approaching.

"Shopping In the Town Centre"

We arrived in the town late Friday afternoon and had to be content with window shopping. This was OK for me but a little disappointing for my wife.
