'Brokeback' Canadian Town Copies Hotel Smoking Ban

Our neighbors to the North in a small town in Alberta, Canada called Canmore where Jake and Heath filmed the gay cowyboy romp, "Brokeback Mountain", are implementing a smoking ban starting October 2.

So if your travel plans take you to this place around then, make sure to put your butts out. Although the hotels are concerned that it might not be enough time to get rid of all the smoke smells and damage. Oh yeah, and all the smokers.

Coun. John Borrowman said he was a little concerned about the Oct. 2 starting date, indicating [hotels] may need more time to honour advance bookings of rooms in which smoking is currently permitted.

Yet it looks like October 2 still stand, although probably with some heavy potpurri smells emanating from the hotels.

More Gay Cowboy Hotel Fun

With the pending release of this year's much-talked about movie and the "tender" love scene between its stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger, Budget Travel lets you know how you can recreate the moment.

But it doesn't happen in Wyoming where the story takes place. Instead the film was filmed up in Alberta, Canada, actually Canmore to be exact.

Places to stay?

"The Marriott is a good place to stay," advises one of the film's location manager.

Hmm...not so rustic. But the Delta Lodge at Kananaskis , a bed and breakfast, is.

Deer, elk and moose can be seen wandering outside, but no guarantees of Jake and Heath taking meaningful lovers walks nearby.

Rooms start at $145.
