Parking Downtown:

If you are able and/or don’t mind walking a few blocks, plenty of free parking can be found around the downtown core. When you’re scouting, just be sure to watch for certain areas that require a resident permit and don't park there.
Parking at Trailheads:
If you plan to stop at the Canmore Nordic Center or other trails, such as Grassi Lakes, these are in Kananaskis Provincial Park and require a Kananaskis Conservation Pass.
Pro tip: There are lots of areas in Kananaskis that do not have any cell signal or data. You may not be able to buy your pass on the fly or when you arrive. It’s definitely worth it to purchase one of these passes. Not only does it help keep our parks stunningly beautiful, there are hefty fines for not following the rules.
Whatever your plans are during your stay, use these tips and don’t let parking ruin your day. Being a few steps in ahead can save you a whole world of hassle!
