The Canmore Engine Bridge is a beautiful steel railway bridge turned walking path that spans the Bow River, surrounded by mountain views and quiet forest. It’s one of the most photographed spots in Canmore and an easy walk from town, making it perfect for a quick scenic stop or golden hour shoot. The bridge is part of the Bow River Loop, which offers a peaceful riverside walk and connects to several nearby trails and green spaces.
Things to Do
– Snap photos of the iconic bridge and surrounding peaks

Tip: Go around sunset for soft lighting and fewer people—it’s one of the most photogenic but low-key spots in town.
