I do wish that they sold Christmas ornaments of maple leafs or stained glass artwork of lake louise, or the local birds - like the Canada Jay or Clark's Nutcracker. I was hoping for an ornament that was a picture frame or something personalizable. But otherwise, they have a great selection of things and stuff for kids too.

Most importantly, the people working there are super helpful at helping you plan an efficient visit. They let you know what route to take to hit the most sights in one day. I also think the visitor center has some great amenities for guests. They have free wifi, so international guests like me can do a quick check on emails, maps, and research on the phone. There are even electric vehicle charging stations and public outlets for charging electronics. Also the bathrooms here are really big and clean, making it a great pit stop when driving around the park.

I'm just thankful there was something. Could there be more stores? Sure. But is the community large…read moreenough to support it when it isn't tourist season? Dunno. There was a sports store to get winter or hiking gear that you forgot. I can't remember though if there were swim suits. There was a cute gift store with some stuff for the kiddies, books, etc. There was a more kitschy souvenir shop with all your souvenir doodads. There was also a rock store with some fossils and jewelry. The mall is run by the local tribe, so at least you know you aren't supporting some faceless conglomerate. And a lot of the items sold at the stores were by locals, which I think is more unique. There was also a post office, a liquor store, a grocery store, a boba cafe (of all things), and a normal cafe. Behind the cafe are some picnic tables you can sit at. There were also a lot of tour buses coming in. If you aren't on one of these buses, be prepared for the crowds. If you're on one of these buses, I hope this isn't your final stop - I hope you have a stop at Lake Louise. I didn't really understand the effort of the tour bus groups to take photos of the river by the parking lot. Or of the parking lot. There will be better photo opportunities, I promise.

My trips have been in the winter and seeing The Crossing for gasoline and a little something to eat is a welcome sight. The Crossing Resort also offers Motel rooms along with a Dining Room, Cafeteria, and a huge Gift Shop. At the peak season, it takes about 80 staff members to operate the resort. Walking into their gift shop turned out to be a welcome afterthought. The sales floor is huge and there's lots of stuff to consider, even if I didn't really need any of it. And since I may never pass this way again, of course I bought something! And I'm sure it had a Maple Leaf on it.

It is definately a fun browse before you hit the highway; Right in the middle of the shopping area, there is a large jewellery counter that has everything from assembly line inexpensive jewellery for kids, to beautiful semi-precious stone jewellery for adults. In the back, there is a grocery aisle if you are looking for snacks. There is also a large selection of books, dvds and CDs if you are looking to entertain passengers with a new movie or some new music. There are tonnes of souvenirs. Almost anything you can think of. Tshirts, sweatshirts, carvings and artwork, maple syrup and Canadian souvenirs. It is almost impossible to get out of this store without purchasing "something". And the prices aren't too bad! If you are looking to stock up on anything for your road trip, or to find some unique souvenirs, the crossing is definately worth checking out!

Exciting to be in the shop once again. I really took the time to walk around & enjoy all it has to…read moreoffer. Lots of neat gift & art ideas. Items range from ideas for baby gifts to adult gifts. I also love that they feature so many Alberta products & artists. Found a few items this trip - part of a wedding gift, something for a birthday present & some beautiful local images on postcards (those are for me to enjoy some new wall art). Honestly, if you're looking for a gift, AB souvenir or just a lovely or special gift for yourself, this is the store to pop in. Extra bonus the staff & owner are well versed in the information of the products, sizing (I learned a lot about the blankets!) &/or background of the art. The owner especially knows where the artists are from and neat background stories. Personally, I encourage that kind of chatting energy, as I love to know the stories of how things have come to this point. Accessibility for in the store is easy for the first part of the store. The second part has 4 steps down. Staff are really great & super friendly. So just ask if you need something (or another colour options) in case you want something but physically can't make it that far. Also, no fault to any of the 8 st stores & restaurants, but the town decided that street is a safe walking/biking area (apparently some spring to fall). At first I thought maybe there was a festival they were setting up for. Nope. Just every day in Canmore. I can understand for many of the shop owners how that has impacted the flow of foot traffic. Especially as the accessible parking isn't plentiful or nearby. Not even several avenues/streets over. Sadly parking lots closer by didn't provide much more for handicap, I wouldn't have an issue on manning streets safer for enjoyment & shopping, but if I'm paying for parking as a handicap user & have to still walk a fair distance, you can bet my time is more limited in being in Canmore. For my situation, I strategized how far to walk, how much energy & time I have (including to return to vehicle as I move slower) & I still felt like I really limited myself for any extra shopping & skipped the lines for eating focusing on the few must stop places I had in mind. You would think the town would add extra benches & picnic tables that aren't restaurant run plus ramps (besides the natural sidewalk corner locations) to the street if this was truly to be an accessible & friendly walking area. This sadly was not is the case. So long story short, if you're struggling with energy, start at the top of the street by Alberta's Own & maybe if you've got someone that can park further down the opposite side streets/avenues, you can walk one direction to your vehicle without worrying too much about your energy. Lastly, a cuteness heads up... there are two wonderful little dogs as store mascots that will seek all attention & love! They're not fully out all the time but will make their presence known once they are.
