Dead Man's Flats
The Dead Man's Flats Airbnb locals recommend.
Tucked just off the Trans-Canada in the Bow Valley, Dead Man's Flats is the sweet spot: quieter and more affordable than Canmore, right next door to Kananaskis Country and 10 minutes from Main Street.

Where exactly is Dead Man's Flats?

It sits between the Three Sisters and Pigeon Mountain, with quick highway access to Kananaskis, Nakiska ski hill, and the mountain parks.
