If you are up for a leisurely bike trip, this is a paved path that runs from Canmore right to Banff. Super worthwhile! Its very popular, and takes about 45 minutes to bike one way to Banff - its slightly uphill the entire way, but not difficult. The way back to Canmore form Banff takes about 25 mints as its a casual roll back downhill almost the entire way! The best part about this famous trail is that is situated off the road - so no cars to worry about! Keep an eye out for the beavers in the beaver dam and often Elk who graze alongside the path.
