Parking

Canmore has many parking options. My best suggestion is to park at one of these locations and walk to your pub. If your accommodations are within walking distance, walk to your restaurant and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Chances of finding parking right next to the pub is quite low, especially during the busy seasons.

Check out Canmore’s website for more information on where to park, parking permits, and more here.

Canmore is full of incredible restaurants. It’s rare to come across an establishment that doesn’t have good food and drinks. I’ll be adding to this list as I experience more restaurants. But I mean, it’s hard to try new ones when you’ve found your favourites! Hehe!
