naw see this a shit house build!! nope cheers
Thanks for the concise and straightforward helpful video. I know this isn't the complaint Department, but Canmore offering only a $20 payment option at the Quarry Lake Dog Park says loud and clear that Canmore does not want Visitors.
@@jbp4.0 my pleasure and I completely understand…. Personally I feel pay barriers, while intended to reduce vehicle traffic and encourage transit, really only hurt the visitor experience, hurt business traffic, and increase the “exclusivity” of certain areas by driving up costs. Lake Louise / Moraine Lake is a great example of this; once available to everyone, now with attempted management of overtourism, they remain just as busy but only for the customers willing to pay up. It’s an unfortunate byproduct of more people flocking to our beautiful areas.
Nice video. Much prefer the lower volume of music in this video compared to your other videos. Many thanks for sharing. Looking forward to visiting again soon....from Ireland.
@@ashvarma2486 thanks and good to know! Cheers
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Our fav area and drive in the world
@@ashvarma2486 thanks!
How long would it take a beginner rider to go from Canmore to Banff and back again?
I would say it probably depends most on what type of bike you're riding, and who the riders are. Folks on slower bikes, or with kids will take longer than a road bike rider. Also - it depends if you go all the way into the Banff Townsite or just to the Banff Ave exit. I would estimate at least an hour for each way. Note - there is more wind as you head towards Banff (but this wind will be at your back on the return journey). Enjoy and hope this helps! - Dan McGuire Canmore & Cochrane REALTOR
@@canmore-cochrane-real-estate thanks I was estimating about 1.5hrs so leisurely I feel like that’s accurate. Thank you. Any other good similar trails around there?
@@B-kn8yb Check out the Highway 1A (Bow Valley Parkway) from my most recent video, when its closed to traffic in May/June for a nice paved ride. Cheers!
Minor correction: highest public road in Canada is highwood pass
So beautiful. I’d more there tomorrow
It's a beautiful ride; however, I think anyone visiting the parks by car, bicycle, or walking in should pay. It's not fair that motor vehicle drivers are subsidising cyclists and hikers as they too use the infrastructure of the park. If everyone paid, then perhaps the price to enter the parks wouldn't be so high!!!!
Not sure that’s a huge problem, but maybe park entry could be a discounted price for cyclists. My guess is they don’t charge because a lot of people in Canmore might bike in and out daily as just a nice bike ride. Like if I lived almost in a national park and had to buy a yearly pass because I had to drive through or into it for work each year and maybe not ever taking part in anything in the park except for working.
Congratulations. What is the lowest gear you have on that bike? 34/34? And do you recommend going lower for this route?
@@bengt_axle thanks! I’m terrible with bike tech (but getting more into it), but I think it’s the standard on this bike 34/50 it says on the Giant website. It was fine for me, but I’m a strong climber and love it. Bow summit and up to LL are the biggest climbs, both on my day 1. This was my carbon road bike, which was good, but next time I do a multi day ride like this I will take my Kona Rove which I have setup like a touring bike. The more ergonomic position would have been more comfortable for these longer days. Hoping to do the Golden Triangle next summer… Cheers!
@@canmore-cochrane-real-estate The second number refers to the teeth on the rear cog. It looks like 32 or 34 but most old road bikes have 28. A 1:1 ratio is considered quite appropriate for climbs, but you're probably a lot stronger than the average urban cyclist.
How's the place there. I'm asking with regards to the fire and destruction that it caused.
@@The_Solo_Hiker hello! There has been no effect from recent wildfires here - that was in Jasper, about 300KM away. Thanks! - Dan McGuire Canmore & Cochrane REALTOR
@@canmore-cochrane-real-estate thank God Banff is safe. Last year 12, 13, 14 August I was in Jasper, Banff, Canmore etc. while returning to Vancouver we encountered lots of smoke from the fires of last year. It's so sad that such wonderful places are destroyed every year due to wild fires. It makes me sad to say the least.
The best view comes after the hardest climb! Looks like you had so much fun, the ride and scenery was spectacular. Thanks for sharing 😊
@@lisaficco1798 You’re right - thanks and my pleasure! - Dan McGuire Canmore & Cochrane REALTOR
You're lucky your timing was right... half of Jasper has now been destroyed by fire! 😞
Sadly yes 😢
Last year on 12th to 15th August, I was in Banff and Jasper. Spent the 4 best days in the most beautiful place on earth. Drove with my daughter in her Tesla and passed by, and stopped at all the places that you rode. It helped me relive my journey.
As an Albertan; the biggest unknown to me is if the falling prices in real estate in every other province start to impact prices here. Personally I’m want to take the chance to leave Alberta if prices continue to drop low enough to incentive me buying a place somewhere like Kelowna instead of an overinflated Calgary market
Hi Cole - I totally understand where you're coming from. I think prices for real estate across Canada are fairly correlated (at least in major/popular markets), so if there was something that would cause a drastic drop in other markets, Calgary would likely feel the same thing too. So if you're in the Canadian real estate market by owning in Calgary, you may experience rises the same rises and falls that could effect Canada (or the world) on a macro scale. It may be very hard to both capitalize on the gain in Calgary, and take advantage of a fall in a different market, at the same time. In my opinion, Calgary is experiencing such robust gains in prices now because of its strong draw of affordability (best among major Canadian cities), great prospects for jobs due to booming oil, and the negative perception of extremely overpriced markets like Toronto and Vancouver. I think the best way to solidify any gains you've seen in Calgary would be selling and moving to a different market segment (ie. from a detached home to a condo), or to an overall lower priced market (hot neighbourhood or town to less-hot). Many folks are doing the opposite right now, selling high in Toronto/Vancouver, and bringing those gains to a more affordable but still appealing market like Calgary, and taking money off the table. The risk in selling will always be that prices could continue to move higher; thats why regardless of where you are, owning is going to keep you in the overall market (and not paying rent to someone else). Thanks for the great comment! - Dan McGuire Canmore, Cochrane & Calgary REALTOR
🎉🎉🎉
I'm super hard worker with several skills. If have some place in the world i figure to live if i jave opportunity it's Canmore or Banff. Regards from Italy

Yes such a great home!
What was Price ..???
what did you do when you first moved to canmore?
Hi there! My wife and I lived and worked in Banff prior to moving to Canmore - I worked in a number of roles at the Banff Springs until I was a Regional Group Sales Manager for Fairmont (Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper & Whistler). My office was at the Banff Springs and also at the Chateau Lake Louise for a while - and I would commute from Canmore to LL! Cheers - Dan McGuire Canmore & Cochrane REALTOR
Oh! That’s who you are I’ve lived here my whole life and and I’ve seen a bit!

This video is packed with valuable insights, and I've already liked it and subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to more informative content from you! Keep up the fantastic work!
Thank you! - Dan McGuire Canmore & Cochrane REALTOR
Great work, Dan, both on your ride and on doing a video about it. Can you comment on the pros and cons of the two possible directions for those of coming from elsewhere? i.e. If we have a choice between a Jasper-to-Banff ride and a Banff-to-Jasper ride, which direction do you suggest?
Thanks Mark! In terms of the ride itself, I think the climbs may just be a bit shorter but a bit steeper if you were heading from Jasper to Banff; particularly the climb to the Columbia Icefield and the climb to Bow Summit. They seem to be a bit gradual coming up from the Banff side. I think a main consideration for someone choosing would be where you're coming from - Jasper is accessed via Edmonton airport, and is about a 3-4 hour drive. Coming to Banff from Calgary is only about 1.5hrs. So that could be a factor. I would consider the ride in the context of an entire trip depending on where you're visiting from, and then also take a look at some maps that show elevation over the course of the ride (I think Parks Canada gave me a map at the gates that showed elevations for the whole road); you can probably find this or one like it online. Cheers and hope you get to do this awesome ride! - Dan McGuire Canmore & Cochrane REALTOR
@@canmore-cochrane-real-estate Thanks for your good answer, Dan. We'll be coming by car from the Fraser Valley of BC and will probably do the ride in out-and-back sections, so your comments about the climbs are especially useful. We'll look at that more closely as we plan. Thanks again.
great🧡💛💚💙💜💜💜
Hey, Dan. Woof! Very impressive achievement. I found your post b/c I've driven the route from Banff to Jasper several times, and find it absolutely stunning...probably even more awesome - IMO - than most of Alaska! I'm strongly interested in doing the same ride - Banff to Jasper - in 2024. I've begun my training for the ride b/c I live in Houston, TX, and I know that all the climbing will be a challenge. With proper training, I'm optimistic that I can do it. But at age 78 I'm just not sure if I can do that amount of climbing over just a 2-day period. I'd prefer to divvy the ride up over 3 days instead of 2 days. I'll try to determine if there are hotels at 100 km intervals (~every 60 or so miles). Any advice would be greatly appreciated, but the primary reason for this comment is to simply send a HUGE "Thank you" for your exceptionally inspiring and motivating post. Thank you!
Hi Joe - thanks so much for your kind words and thats so exciting that you're hoping to do the same ride as well! There are a few stops along the way that provide accommodations if you wanted to break it up a bit more. Moving West from Banff, you could stay at Lake Louise (lots of options), or even at Baker Creek just before LL. FYI the climb up to Lake Louise itself is very steep, busy and narrow - it may be better to stay in town and bus or hike up. From LL, your next place for a stop (with a bed) would be the Lodge at Bow Lake. Next stop would be where I stayed at Saskatchewan Crossing, then you would have the Icefields (Glacier View Lodge looks like an option) and then finally Sunwapta Falls Lodge before heading to Jasper. Some Distances I just roughly calculated: Banff>LL (65KM) Banff>Bow Lake (101KM) Bow Lake> Sask Crossing (42KM) Bow Lake> Icefields (91KM) Icefields> Sunwapta (48KM) Icefeilds>Jasper (103KM) Biggest climbs are: LL village to LL itself Bow Summit (basically a massive climb from the 93 to here) Athabasca Summit (to the icefeilds) Sounds like Banff to Bow Lake to Icefields to Jasper may be a good route if you're looking for 3 days! Thanks and I hope this helps - good luck and enjoy if you do come! Dan McGuire - Canmore & Cochrane REALTOR
Thank you, Dan. After watching - and sharing with friends - your very impressive adventure, I'm highly motivated. At 78, I'll probably do the longer-but-less-traffic route to the east, but I've driven that route a few times, and it's so spectacular. Your video is highly inspirational. Thank you! @@canmore-cochrane-real-estate
well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Unfortunately you guys don't have an ice ring for Sommer skating eh?
We do have an indoor ice rink in town - I'm not 100% sure on the hours and operations in the summertime though; maybe check the website for the Town of Canmore for specifics. I opted to skate outside on a nearby lake in this video and it was definitely a cold day! Cheers - Dan McGuire Canmore & Cochrane REALTOR

If I ever moved back to the Bow Valley, I would definitely choose Canmore over Banff.
Having lived in both Canmore & Banff myself, I think a lot of folks would also prefer to live in Canmore if given the choice. Banff is an extremely special place to live though, and makes a really great place to call home for those who meet the need to reside. Cheers! - Dan McGuire Canmore & Cochrane REALTOR

@danmcguire-canmorebanffrea1988 Yes, I've done as well, I'd like to do until Lake Louise next year
How much of the ride is right along the #1?
Hi Roger - it’s not right on the highway for most of the parts around Canmore and as you get closer to Banff. I would say maybe 50% of it (from the Rundle Lookout to near Banff) is “closer” to the highway. There is a divider and it feels safe, there’s just the noise from the vehicles. Usually when I ride I listen to music so it never bothers me. Hope this helps! - Dan McGuire Canmore & Cochrane Realtor
@danmcguire-canmorebanffrea1988 thank you. I am originally from Calgary. But I live north of spokane. We are heading up next week. I hope the smoke isn't to bad? Everything is blowing up in our region with fires. BTW. My father insulated that water tower right along the hwy in the 50's and installed equipment at the cement plant on the Eastside of Canmore. Cheers! And thank you! Roger and Barbara.
@@rogerloos420 Very neat! Smoke here is intermittent; its coming from BC and further north so it really depends on the winds. Cooler weather over the past few days has helped but its hit and miss at this time of year for sure. Cheers and enjoy your trip

Hi Sanjay! Canmore is a special place surrounded by mountains and parkland. Because of this, land is scarce and vacant lots are hard to come by. At the moment there are 3 vacant lots on the market, ranging in price from $1.2M-$1.5M CAD. Thanks - Dan McGuire Canmore & Cochrane REALTOR
