Let's enjoy a nice fall day biking the Legacy Trail! The Banff Legacy Trail, built to commemorate Parks Canada’s 125th anniversary, was completed in the fall of 2010. It is a scenic three metre wide, 22 kilometres-long, commuter trail. The route runs parallel to the highway and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. A great trail for families and cyclists of all abilities to enjoy...The Banff Legacy Trail survived the 2013 floods and opened once again to users in July of 2013. Although a section of trail near Banff and Cascade Ponds is currently being reconstructed. A detour is in place while work continues to fix the damages to infrastructure; USERS SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION and are asked to respect all signs, fencing and traffic personnel...as per the bikepirate.com site We'll start at the visitor's centre in Canmore, (see map below) ride the trail into Banff. We can explore Banff on our bikes and maybe do the extended trail by Vermillion Lakes, have lunch, then head back to Canmore. Priority will be given to those that can haul more than their own bike in the carpool. When you register, PLEASE answer the carpool question. | |||||||
