The Canmore Engine Bridge is an iconic landmark that blends industrial heritage with the breathtaking beauty of the Canadian Rockies. Originally built in 1891 by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) to transport coal, this historic steel truss bridge has transitioned from a vital mining artery into a premier pedestrian pathway and a world-famous photography destination.
Industrial Roots: Built in 1891, the bridge supported Canmore's booming coal mining industry by connecting rail spurs to local mines.
Unique Construction: The bridge features an unusual double Whipple truss design. The main span actually dates back to 1880 and was salvaged from another structure and relocated here in 1919.
Historical Markers: Visitors can still see plaques reading "T. B. Co. 1880" on the vertical endposts, a nod to its 19th-century origins.
Breathtaking Views: The bridge offers panoramic vistas of the Bow River and iconic peaks like the Three Sisters(Faith, Charity, and Hope), Ha Ling Peak, and the East End of Rundle (EEOR).
Pop Culture Fame: The bridge gained global recognition as a filming location for HBO’s The Last of Us (Episode 6), making it a must-see for fans of the show.
Year-Round Access: While stunning in all seasons, winter visits offer the chance to see steam rising off the Bow River on cold days, adding a dramatic atmosphere to photos.
Best Time to Visit: Aim for golden hour (sunrise or sunset) for soft light and fewer crowds. Sunrise is particularly recommended as the light beautifully side-lights the surrounding mountains.
Getting There: The bridge is a short, 15-minute walk from downtown Canmore via the Spur Line Trail or the Bow River Loop Trail.
Trail Difficulty: The path is categorized as very easy and flat, making it accessible for families, strollers, and all fitness levels.
