Canmore, Alberta - Locate the town ...
Canmore, Alberta is located 106 kilometres west of Calgary on the Trans-Canada Highway. On the west the town borders Banff National Park, Canada's oldest and best known park. To the south and east lies Kananaskis Country, a million-acre preserve set aside by the Province of Alberta for recreational use.
Since its founding in 1883, Canmore was traditionally a railroad divisional point and a mining town. The mining is long gone and today the freight trains roll right past the town on the main CPR line. Now the service centre for the Bow Valley, Canmore is recognized world-wide as an outdoor recreational and adventure centre.
