If you have ever visited the Canadian Rocky Mountains, you know how breathtaking the vistas are. Whether you are an avid hiker exploring the trails or prefer a gentle stroll through the town of Canmore, you are always surrounded by the beauty of nature.
If you visit during peak-season, you will also be surrounded by crowds… Stats Canada estimates that between 2022-23, almost 4 million tourists explored the Banff and Kananaskis-region. This past July, over 600,000 people filtered through the town of Banff and surrounding areas in one month alone.
While there is plenty of space for everyone, there is beauty and benefit to exploring the grand Rocky Mountains during the shoulder season. Generally lasting from October to mid-November (before the ski hills open), off-season is the perfect time to visit the Rockies.
You will find a slower rhythm in the town of Canmore which means that securing a reservation for dinner will be easier. The changing foliage of the trees is a photographer’s dream and a feast for your eyes. Animals begin grazing and preparing for the winter months, you will be sure to see elk, deer, and maybe even catch a glimpse big horn sheep or of a bear preparing for hibernation. The weather is still mild so enjoy a brisk walk along Grassi Lakes, or rent an e-bike and peddle over to Banff for a fun-filled day trip. End your day with a glass of wine in the hot tub overlooking the Three Sisters Mountains at the Mercer Clubhouse Canmore.
