Edworthy Park, North Parking Lot, Look for the Yellow Ford Focus
Highway 546, Closed Gate
Sandy McNabb Campground
The Sheep River Valley is one of the best places for spring road riding thanks to its gentle gradient (way easier than Highway 40) and early season conditions. When other mountain roads are snow covered, you can often bike here. We recommend going before May 14th so you can enjoy car-free road biking past the winter gate. Just watch for deer, bighorn sheep, and cows!
This is where we start the planning process for any extended events between now and May 2024
Wasootch Ridge is a 13.4 km out-and-back trail in Kananaskis. It is considered a challenging hike with an elevation gain of 930 m. The first couple of kilometers are steep and then it becomes a gradual incline after that. As this is an early season hike, please bring poles and spikes as they may be needed. It could also be windy on the ridge so please bring warm clothing. If there is a lot of snow at the top we will turn around when/if it becomes too difficult for hiking.

Banff Rec Centre on west side of Banff

Edworthy Park, North Parking Lot, Look for the Grey Toyota Camrey
A short easy walk on a fire road up Mockingbird Hill to a lookout where you are treated to a 360 degree panoramana view. Obviously, this trail is very popular of its short length and proximity to campgrounds and youth camps.
Meet at the Powderface Trailhead on Highway 66, south and east of Bragg Creek.
Let‘s enjoy a hike to Powderface Ridge starting along Powderface Creek Trail. A good well-marked trail with two long climbs at a moderate grade. When snow lies on the east face in late spring and early fall, be prepared to kick steps onto the summit ridge.
