You're right in the heart of the Rockies; layers of clothing are your best bet!
Runners or hiking boots depending on what you'll be doing. Bug repellent would be good to have. Dont' forget your camera, and lots of film!
On our way to Kananaskis Village after exiting Trans Canadian Highway 1 on an empty road by comparision we spotted a sign which simply said "Point of Interest"
Then we saw O'Shaughnessy Falls - made all the prettier with just us to visit.
Canmore is best known as a resort town situated at the border of Banff National Park, on the southern tip of the Canadian Rockies. All the tourists, adventure-types, campers, backpackers, bikers, motorhoming grandparents probably pass through here on their way to the Canadian Rockies. Highway 1A runs through town and Highway 1, aka the Trans-Canada Highway, is just a stone's throw away.
That is to say, most people ignore Canmore and make a beeline for Banff. Not a great idea, we've heard, since Canmore has many excellent trails and offers great views of the Three Sisters peaks.
Unfortunately we had no way to verify the veracity of these reports because we made like the typical tourists and headed straight for Banff :)
