Three Sisters View Live Cam from A Bear and Bison Inn, Canmore

This CanmoreAlberta.com webcam offers a spectacular view across Cougar Creek from A Bear and Bison Inn in Canmore, Alberta, toward the town's famous Three Sisters Mountains, known individually as Faith, Hope and Charity.

The Three Sisters are the best-known landmark of the Bow Valley. Their three peaks rise side by side above the town, and they are said to have been named in the 1880s, when a dusting of snow gave them the look of three nuns. To the left of the view is Mount Lougheed, and to the right is Ships Prow, a striking pointed ridge that leads toward Mount Lawrence Grassi, named after an Italian-born miner and trail builder who was a local legend.

Canmore lies just outside the eastern gate of Banff National Park, about an hour west of Calgary. It began as a coal-mining town and became a mountain sports center after hosting Nordic events at the 1988 Winter Olympics. Cougar Creek runs down from the Fairholme Range through the north side of town.

The view changes dramatically with the weather and seasons, from alpenglow at sunrise to storms, snow-covered peaks in winter and chinook arches in the sky. Wildlife such as elk and deer roam through town. Alberta uses Mountain Time.
