Overview

Come explore the Bow River Flats where you have wide open panoramic views of 5 of the most photographed mountains in the Canadian Rockies.

These mountains get their distinctive shapes from the unique geology of the Rundle Thrust Fault but these mountains really come to life when you hear the ancient indigenous stories of how they are seen as living beings and sacred guardians.

On this Canmore Walking Tour, you'll learn the modern stories of how the mountains formed as well as the ancient stories of their creation from local indigenous legends.

You will have a chance to pause and contemplate with a guided mindful walking session and sitspot meditation to reflect on these stories and how these mountains inspire awe and wonder.

Bring your camera and prepare yourself for a completely different way of seeing the most iconic mountains of the Bow Valley during the golden hour as the sunset that lights up the mountains.
