Canmore Museum - Canmore
About Canmore Museum
Have you ever wondered how the rugged beauty of Canmore’s mountainous landscape came to be, or how the landscape has shaped the town? Get to know the science behind the area where we live and play a little better with geologist Percy Strong.
Our geology and mining walking tour will give insight into the geology of our rugged Rocky Mountains and explore the geology and history of the No. 1 and No. 2 coal mines and the reclaimed former strip mine – now the popular recration spot, Quarry Lake.
The tour is 3 hours in length. Visitors are encouraged to wear comfortable walking shoes and wear layered summer walking clothes. Bottled water will be supplied.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lovely little educational spot.
I wish I could move to Canmore ad.1930. Or even just Canmore before it became so overpriced?
Check their gift store, lots of cool stuff there.
