Mountain
Biking in the Canadian Rockies
Mountain Bike Action - What a way to spend the day! Half day or full day tours will be spent cycling the great mountain bike trails
of the picturesque Elbow Valley near the town of Bragg Creek, Alberta (45 min. south-west of Calgary) or Kananaskis Valley (1 hour west of Calgary towards Canmore & Banff) on a suspension mountain bike!
The Mountain Biking trails are primarily downhill on singletrack and appropriate for most active people. The Elbow Valley mountain bike tour provides exceptional views of Calgary to the east, the Elbow Valley below and the Rocky Mountain Front range to the west.
The Kananaskis Valley trip provides a scenic cycling mountain biking tour through a beautiful forest with a backdrop of Canada's rocky mountain peaks! It may even get you hooked on the exciting and revitalizing activity of mountain biking!
