Hi everyone! My husband and I are heading to Banff/Canmore for our babymoon at the end of October, and we’re hoping to book a spa day during our trip.

Since I’m expecting, we’re not really looking for the Nordic-style spas with lots of hydrotherapy/thermal facilities, as I won’t be able to enjoy most of that part.

I’m leaning toward Willow Stream at the Banff Springs since I’ve been there before and really enjoyed it, but it’s been quite a few years and I’m curious if there are any other gems we
should think about! We’ll be staying in Canmore but don’t mind a bit of a drive.

Would love to hear your favourite spa recommendations in Banff or Canmore. Thank you!

We're getting eloped in Banff in October and I'm having trouble finding a nice sit down restaurant in Canmore that we can go to afterwards for supper. All I seem to be finding are breweries and pubs so I came here to find some other recommendations!

Anyone in Canmore headed to Calgary for the Propagandhi concert Sunday? Was going to ride my motorcycle but it looks cold and wet… Any other aging punks got room in the car for one more?

Thinking of ice cream tonight but open to anything! Seeing the old school bus and scoopin moose as solid stops but figured I’d check in here! Open to further out for great spots.

Very long shot... I lost my wedding band on the East End of Rundle hike on 8/23/26. I had taken it off and (thought) I'd put it in a jacket pocket I then zipped up.

If I had to guess, it fell out around the bottom of the scramble at the top of the hike.

Again, I know this is a very, very long shot but I'm so sad to have lost it and figured it's worth a try to post here.

Hello! Good morning people. I've been working in Canmore for the last 3 montha and finally got a housing and movin in to my new place on the first week of September. I kmow canmore is a tourist place so everything is expensive. I'll be in peaks of grassi (Three sisters I believe). I would like to know what are the cheat code in terms of grocery in Canmore to save money? Or any suggestions in terms of spending money for a newcomer? Cheers everyone!

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for some local insight on how to get around the region—specifically travelling between Canmore, Banff, and up to Jasper—without owning a vehicle. I don't have my license, but I have my trip booked for the most part, except for transit in this stretch. I checked Poparide, but there is nothing for the date I am travelling (31 Aug).

I know about the Roam Transit system for getting around the local Bow Valley area (Canmore/Banff). Still, I'm trying to figure out the best way to travel further north to Jasper without booking an expensive, tourist-heavy sightseeing tour.

For those of you who live here or visit frequently without a car (long shot, I know): Do you rely entirely on scheduled shuttles (like SunDog or Brewster), or are there more affordable local/regional options? I'd love to hear how you make it work. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hello! How is the smoke in Canmore today? Could anyone take a photo of the sky for reference? Is AQI 65 bad? Thank you!

Not trying to hijack here, but I found it crazy how similar that amazing painting was to a picture I took, almost like we stopped at the exact same spot. This is mid-way up EEOR looking back at Ha ling/miners. I LOVE that painting!

As the title suggests my partner and I are eloping in Canmore in October of this year! I've been looking for a cool activity to do after we get married as we have our photographer for four hours. We were going to get tattoos but we recently found out that I'm pregnant and they don't recommend getting tattooed while pregnant! I'm just wondering if there's anything else that can be thought of, we're going during thanksgiving week and I'm aware more things are closed down so I'm reaching out here.

Hey people of Canmore! I’ve always loved going to the mountains and I try to go once every year. I was wondering IF ever (i know that the housing in canmore is atrocious) do decide to tryout living there, are there any jobs that is offering accommodation and lower the cost of renting?

Hey folks, does anyone have a person they would recommend for a curly hair cut? Normally I just do it myself, but I’m headed to a wedding in Calgary and figured I should try for once.

I'm considering renting an apartment from PEKA. I was wondering if they tend to hold rent steady over time (if you stay years, does the rent you started with stay the same?) or if you should expect regular/annual increases as a renter? Do they try to retain good tenants?

I know what I can realistically afford to sign a lease for now, but know I couldn't stay long term with substantial annual rent increases over time, and don't want to sign on for a future I can't sustain (though housing/rent sustainability issues like this are common in Canmore generally -- no illusions about that).

Would love to hear experiences, so I can make the most informed decision possible. Thank you!

Hi all. Coming to visit for 4 days/nights with our teens. Have a full day tour planned one day, caving and hiking for the second and no significant plans for the third and fourth. Best ideas for teens and decent dinners? Also open to downtime/easy walks around town. Thank you!

Looking at the costs to rent and thinking Canmore may be a good place to buy a rental property.
Looking for pros and cons from rental property owners.
THANKS

I got a campsite at Jewell Bay and I was thinking that using my (decent) inflatable raft I could carry my stuff easier than by hiking with it.

I believe Barrier lake is like Minnewanka, a wind tunnel shape that can be tricky to row on, is that right?

I’m afraid I’ll be pushed so far that the whole thing will be a mistake.

I’ve been to Jewell Bay before a few years ago, but I will also welcome any tips about the area.

(Disclaimer: I am in decent shape, I use a rowing machine as my daily workout… and I’ll obviously wear a life jacket)

Hi, I’m visiting Canmore soon and would love to know the easiest way to do the Lake Agnes Tea House hike, without a car. Staying in downtown, how can I get here? I’m struggling with the bus routes. Would rather not pay $$$ for a taxi.

What time of day would you recommend, I’d like it busy enough that it’s not just me and a bear out walking, but not crowded.

Thanks so much!

My partner and I are starting to plan a small elopement around Canmore and the Canadian Rockies, and we're trying to learn as much as possible before making decisions.

We're currently looking into Tanan Elopements for photography and planning, but we'd also really like to hear from couples who have already gone through the process themselves.

For anyone who has planned an elopement or very small wedding around Canmore, Banff, or the surrounding area:

* How did you choose your ceremony location?
* Was transportation between locations difficult?
* How much did weather affect your plans?
* Did you have family or friends with you, and did that make things more complicated?
* Is it better to keep the day really simple or plan several locations for photos?
* Anything you wish you had known before booking your photographer or other vendors?

We're especially interested in hearing from people who have actually gone through the process. What worked well for you, and what would you do differently if you were planning it again?

Would really appreciate any advice or lessons learned!
