Here is something you need to try.

Caving baby!

Canmore Caverns will take those who are physically fit for and adventure. You don’t have to have experience, just a little courage.

Guided by knowledgeable guides, the adventure begins with a 20-30 minute hike up a mountain trail to the entrance. Get ready for an exciting tour into this underground world, etched and sculptured over hundreds of thousands of years - through twisting passages and chambers of stalactites & stalagmites, animal bones and fossils.

Yeah, caving in the Canadian Rockies. I bet your friends have not done that.

Since I live in Calgary, many of my pieces have a local focus, although I also write about destinations elsewhere in the world. I welcome questions from readers and can be reached through my profile page on Suite101.com.

Some of my recent Accessible Recreation articles there have included: Whyte Museum in Banff, Canada Rimrock Hotel in Banff, Canada Columbia Icefield Center, Canada Guiding a Blind X-C Skier Lake Louise Samson Mall. I try to provide useful information to readers with non-standard travel needs.

I hope no one feels I am breaking the forum rules by posting this information here. If so, just tell me. Best regards & happy travels.

We would like to avoid hiring a car but to be too far away from the slopes. I am a novice skier and my partner is an advanced skier.

Any suggestion as to the best resort and accommodation recommendations please. We would initially like to avoid hiring a car too.

It’s nothing fancy. It’s clean…could use some updating.

We were there during an unusual a heatwave, and air conditioning would have been a nice option. We kept the windows open to allow ventilation, but our room over looked the pub patio, so it was a bit lively, but not too bad.

The location is central and it is easy to walk to the downtown.
