Hiking Trails
The turquois colour of the water is a must to see in Canmore and is considered an easy trail hike.
These lakes are tucked in between the mountains of Ha Ling and East Rundle. No picnic tables that I recall, but little benches along the trail that loops around both small lakes is a perfect spot to stop, eat and enjoy the view

We did this hike last summer with me carrying my baby boy in my Ergo and my husband carrying our toddler girl in the dueter backpack. We found this a perfect hike for a family. Beautiful waterfalls at the end to find a seat and eat a picnic!

If your goal is to reach one mountain peak while here, this is a good one to tackle. It's about 4 hours round trip for beginners. It's a steep incline with switchbacks. I'd recommend using hiking poles, bring some food/snacks and water. The views of Canmore and the whole Bow Valley is breathtaking. Arrive early as well, this hike can get VERY busy especially in summer.

Stunning views of Banff, Mount Rundle, Fairmont Banff Springs golf course. A very popular short hike in Banff.
