Food Scene
BLAKE
810 Bow Valley TrailThey have unique and delicious food options!
They offer a cool atmosphere and an intricate food menu, but if you plan to go for dinner be prepared to spend quite some time there... we notice the service to be great but lengthy! (probably not best with kids or if short on time)

This is a small little intimate gem of Canmore. Their food menu is great, at a reasonable cost and the environment makes it very relaxed and easy to enjoy a wrap and a cup of coffee!

The Summit Cafe has been around for a LONG TIME in Canmore, it is a breakfast/brunch favourite for locals.... so because of that it can be EXTREMELY busy during certain hours (hit and miss! Gotta get lucky). If you are breakfast person we recommend checking this place out for delicious Huevos Rancheros or Mexi Eggs!

Sightseeing
This is an easy go-to Hike for some stunning views and beautiful water views. Easy access but because of that we find it can easily get quite busy! Go early in the morning to not be disappointed with parking and too many people. We recommend the "Hard Trail" versus "Easy"--if you can manage! The Easy is a wide straight road leading up whereas the other path lets you do a little bit more and lets you see more views of Canmore and small waterfall. (**if you rock climb there is access to some of that at the top of the trail)
