The Canmore Engine Bridge spans the Bow River just east of downtown Canmore. Originally built for railway traffic during the region’s mining era, the steel bridge has been repurposed as a pedestrian and cycling crossing along the Trans Canada Trail. Today it offers wide views of the Bow River and the surrounding Rocky Mountain peaks, making it a memorable point along the trail into Canmore.
