Day 4 Sunday - Canmore

This morning we hired mountain bikes - the plan was to bike the Goat Creek Trail but lack of signage and closed roads proved a challenge. We ended up at the trailhead for Grassi Lakes which was on our list of hikes so we did the trail and it was well worth it - there's two sparkling turquoise lakes below grey limestone cliffs and also great views of Canmore down below. 



Hungary for lunch we pivoted our plans and cycled back into town - on the outskirts is a gardening centre with The Wagashi Teahouse - the Japanese cuisine was delicious and we agree this is a local hidden gem.


As we left the rain was coming on; we stopped at the Three Sister Viewpoint but there was thick cloud cover. Back in central Canmore it was raining heavily so we looked around some of the local gift shops then later in the afternoon we returned the bikes and went to the Everwild Nordic Spa. The clouds cleared  over the mountains so there was a beautiful sunset to watch from the hot pools, a great way to unwind after the pedal power.
