Banff National Park

Highlight • Trail

This trail network sits on the lower slopes of Tunnel Mountain within Banff National Park, Canada's oldest national park and one of the most visited protected areas in the country. A valid Parks Canada pass is required to enter the park, whether you're visiting for a few hours or staying longer. The mix of open Douglas-fir forest, mountain views, and extensive trail options makes this a popular area for both hiking and mountain biking. To protect local wildlife, sections of the Tunnel Mountain trail network may temporarily close during elk calving season in spring, helping give mothers and newborn calves the space they need during a sensitive time.

Arts In Nature Trail

Highlight • Trail

Banff's latest art show isn't in a gallery, it's on the Bow River. This is part of nature. Starting at Banff Park Museum along the Bow River Trail, across the footbridge towards Bow Falls and then across the new Nancy Pauw Bridge back to Central Park. The event will run until September 30th, 2023 and will hopefully be repeated. Well done.
