Cedar Springs is centrally located to all Canadian Rocky mountain activities, in the historical town of Canmore, and is just over an hour's drive from Calgary International Airport. Banff Town is approximately a 15 minute drive west and world famous Lake Louise is just 30 more minutes beyond that. Climate: We are situated at an altitude of 1200 metres, nestled below spectacular mountain ranges, and are blessed with a unique mountain climate. Our summers are surprisingly warm, ushering in the scent of wildflowers and frantic wildlife activity. The winters are cold, crisp and dry with crunchy snow underfoot, except when a Chinook blows in (a warm west wind) releasing winter’s grip and turning the air balmy and springlike.
