Canmore Hoodoos

Highlight • Natural Monument

Just a short hike from town, the Canmore Hoodoos offer one of the best quick escapes in the Bow Valley. The trail climbs gently before reaching a ridge lined with tall limestone spires, shaped by centuries of wind and rain. From the top, you’ll get wide views of the Bow River winding below and the peaks of the Three Sisters rising beyond town. This is a perfect spot for sunset or a quiet break above the valley.

Silvertip Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The SilverTip Trail winds through the forested slopes above Canmore, offering a quiet alternative to the busier routes nearby. The path climbs steadily with glimpses of the town and the Bow Valley through the trees, eventually opening to viewpoints with striking views of Mount Lady Macdonald and Grotto Mountain.

View of Canmore

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here, you’ll get a panoramic view of Canmore and the surrounding peaks. A small pond adds to the scene, making it a perfect spot to sit, enjoy a picnic, or simply take in the beauty of the valley below.
