We decided to give Banff a miss as we have had enough of the tourist traps and wanted to go to a real town. Canmore was a bit of both but was much bigger than we expected and there were huge mountains surrounding the town and I mean huge. We arrived at the Visitor Information centre, which is our usual tactic when we arrive into a new town, it saves a lot of time trying to find things. They directed us to a tent only camp ground around the corner. Great place and a bit alternative, with a total cost per night of 15 dollars, oh yes. The site was packed mainly with hippies and big groups of young people partying. After talking to a few people I found out that most people on the site live there all summer and work in the town. Would be a cool thing to do, maybe next time, ha ha ha.
We decided to eat in town and what a great decision. We hit up a micro brew pub and had possibly the best tasting beer I have had in Canada. The beer we had was called Rutting Elk and was a taste sensation. Every beer I have after a days cycling seems to be a taste sensation though. When we got back to the site a huge black cloud was coming for us and it rained all night. Also the people in the tent next to us were performing some kind of hippie acid party with banging drums all night long, but we managed to get some sleep.
