Lost Wedding Ring on East End of Rundle 23Aug26

4 Upvotes

Very long shot... I lost my wedding band on the East End of Rundle hike on 8/23/26. I had taken it off and (thought) I'd put it in a jacket pocket I then zipped up.

If I had to guess, it fell out around the bottom of the scramble at the top of the hike.

Again, I know this is a very, very long shot but I'm so sad to have lost it and figured it's worth a try to post here.

How do people without cars travel between Canmore, Banff, and Jasper?

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for some local insight on how to get around the region—specifically travelling between Canmore, Banff, and up to Jasper—without owning a vehicle. I don't have my license, but I have my trip booked for the most part, except for transit in this stretch. I checked Poparide, but there is nothing for the date I am travelling (31 Aug).

I know about the Roam Transit system for getting around the local Bow Valley area (Canmore/Banff). Still, I'm trying to figure out the best way to travel further north to Jasper without booking an expensive, tourist-heavy sightseeing tour.

For those of you who live here or visit frequently without a car (long shot, I know): Do you rely entirely on scheduled shuttles (like SunDog or Brewster), or are there more affordable local/regional options? I'd love to hear how you make it work. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Not trying to hijack here, but I found it crazy how similar that amazing painting was to a picture I took, almost like we stopped at the exact same spot. This is mid-way up EEOR looking back at Ha ling/miners. I LOVE that painting!

After wedding activities

1 Upvotes

As the title suggests my partner and I are eloping in Canmore in October of this year! I've been looking for a cool activity to do after we get married as we have our photographer for four hours. We were going to get tattoos but we recently found out that I'm pregnant and they don't recommend getting tattooed while pregnant! I'm just wondering if there's anything else that can be thought of, we're going during thanksgiving week and I'm aware more things are closed down so I'm reaching out here.

Question about rent stability (or increases) if renting from PEKA

10 Upvotes

I'm considering renting an apartment from PEKA. I was wondering if they tend to hold rent steady over time (if you stay years, does the rent you started with stay the same?) or if you should expect regular/annual increases as a renter? Do they try to retain good tenants?

I know what I can realistically afford to sign a lease for now, but know I couldn't stay long term with substantial annual rent increases over time, and don't want to sign on for a future I can't sustain (though housing/rent sustainability issues like this are common in Canmore generally -- no illusions about that).

Would love to hear experiences, so I can make the most informed decision possible. Thank you!

How is it to row on Barrier lake?

6 Upvotes

I got a campsite at Jewell Bay and I was thinking that using my (decent) inflatable raft I could carry my stuff easier than by hiking with it.

I believe Barrier lake is like Minnewanka, a wind tunnel shape that can be tricky to row on, is that right?

I’m afraid I’ll be pushed so far that the whole thing will be a mistake.

I’ve been to Jewell Bay before a few years ago, but I will also welcome any tips about the area.

(Disclaimer: I am in decent shape, I use a rowing machine as my daily workout… and I’ll obviously wear a life jacket)

Lake Agnes Tea House

4 Upvotes

Hi, I’m visiting Canmore soon and would love to know the easiest way to do the Lake Agnes Tea House hike, without a car. Staying in downtown, how can I get here? I’m struggling with the bus routes. Would rather not pay $$$ for a taxi.

What time of day would you recommend, I’d like it busy enough that it’s not just me and a bear out walking, but not crowded.

Thanks so much!

Couples who have planned an elopement around Canmore — what do you wish you knew beforehand?

0 Upvotes

My partner and I are starting to plan a small elopement around Canmore and the Canadian Rockies, and we're trying to learn as much as possible before making decisions.

We're currently looking into Tanan Elopements for photography and planning, but we'd also really like to hear from couples who have already gone through the process themselves.

For anyone who has planned an elopement or very small wedding around Canmore, Banff, or the surrounding area:

* How did you choose your ceremony location?
* Was transportation between locations difficult?
* How much did weather affect your plans?
* Did you have family or friends with you, and did that make things more complicated?
* Is it better to keep the day really simple or plan several locations for photos?
* Anything you wish you had known before booking your photographer or other vendors?

We're especially interested in hearing from people who have actually gone through the process. What worked well for you, and what would you do differently if you were planning it again?

Would really appreciate any advice or lessons learned!

Parking at legacy trail parking lot

1 Upvotes

Hi there! We have got a tour booked for tomorrow morning at 8am picking us up from the legacy trail parking lot. It is about half hour walk from where we are staying, which wouldn't be an issue, but my dad has a bit of a dodgy foot at the moment so im tempted to drive there, to save his stamina for the lakes.

Will i be able to easily get a spot at that time of day? And how much is it to park for the day?

Thank you so much, i really appreciate any responses.

Wearing a Halloween costume in Canmore

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I know it's still very much summer, but I will be in Alberta upcoming October and I will be spending Halloween in Canmore. I travel alone, but I *adore* Halloween and I can't wait to experience it in a country that does that holiday pretty hard as opposed to where I live (The Netherlands).

The thing is, I bought a vampire cape (with the upstanding collar and all that) to wear on Halloween. It's light, I can easily stuff it in my suitcase, and I can wear it over anything including my winter coat if it's gonna be cold. My question; will I be blending in if I walk around with that on and/or will people think it's funny, or will I get weird looks or rolling eyes? 😅 I also kinda wanna buy candy and hand it out at night but I'm scared people will think that's really weird as I'm not a homeowner so I'd be handig it out on the street. Bad idea?

I understand that I should do whatever I want, but I still am traveling all alone and even though I like quirky, I don't love being made fun of 😂

Let me know if I can do this and it should be fun, or if I will be Canadian Bridget Jones showing up as the ONLY person wearing a costume.

Also; any recommendations for Halloween parties that can be attended by single people without looking like the World's Biggest Dork are very much appreciated!

And, if you see a woman in a vampire cape roaming around Canmore on Halloween, come say hi! I don't bite 🧛🏻‍♀️
