Tunnel Bench – The Toe – Bow Falls

Central flowing trail with many options: 2hrs/easy–hard/18km

This is easily the best mountain bike ride you can do directly from Banff. It combines three stretches of trail as designated by the parks service: the easy Tunnel Bench, the hard Toe and the moderate Bow Falls, all described on the Park website. It includes several of the town’s sights such as Bow Falls and the Hoodoos to make a scenic trail with some lovely flowing riding too.

This ride will challenge most recreational riders and satisfy most trail heads, and it’s easy to miss out black or blue-graded sections to make the trail much easier. Regular signposts and maps along the route make the process easy. A pdf trail map is downloadable here.
