Canmore

WALK N SHOP

Canmore’s pedestrian only Main Street was such a success it’s back for another year! Like the multi-use paths throughout the town, pedestrians will have the right of way and bikes will be allowed on the street 6th Ave to 8th Ave. So take a stroll! And discover the best that Canmore has to offer.

Start at the bottom and grab a coffee with a homemade, New York style bagel from Rocky Mountain Bagel Co. (p 87). Discover local, Alberta artisans from Alberta’s Own Marketplace (p 74) or wander a little further for wilderness artistry from the Ken Hoehn Gallery (p 39) or surreal wilderness images from the Jeff Walker Gallery (p 39). Take a quick detour to Sugar Pine Co. (p 73) for designer fabrics and craft supplies at this destination quilting shop. Find your style at Bolder Menswear (p 73) or get ready for whatever adventure comes your way at Valhalla Pure Outfitters (p 73). Bring your well-behaved dog into the store for a snack and some love!

Grab some unique fine dining from the double decker bus-turned-restaurant PD3 by BLAKE (p 85). Enjoy tacos and tequila from Cabeza Grande (p 85), a locally owned restaurant bringing a little siesta to the mountains.

Get everything you need for the young and young at heart from Hijinx (p 76) and find every game you can imagine for any age at Armadillo (p 76). Further up the street, cross Canmore’s own rainbow crosswalk and find unique, sustainable comfort fashion at Liberty Clothing (p 73) or taste a locally brewed beer or soda on the patio at Grizzly Paw (p 87).
