Canmore's Location
The Town of Canmore is located 106 km (about one hour's drive) west of Calgary on the Trans Canada Highway #1, just before the entrance into Banff National Park.
To get to the motel, take any Canmore exit and follow signs to the "Town Centre". The Bow Valley Motel is scenically situated away from the highway and railway tracks in the town proper. Come across the creek bridge when you turn down Main (8th) Street. It is a short 20 minute drive west to Banff town site, 50 minutes to Lake Louise, 2 and a half hours to the Athabasca Glacier and 3 hours drive to the Jasper townsite. Going east and then South, it is just 35 minutes drive to the Kananaskis Country Golf Course, unlimited hiking, biking, fishing and horseback trails.
