Calgary Macleod Trails (Alberta)

Calgary Macleod Trails (Alberta) offers an excellent choice of hiking, biking and backpacking adventure that will keep the whole family entertained and active. There are several different trails available for hikers and mountain bikers; some of them can be quite strenuous so you should check the trail maps and other information available with this website before venturing out.

The Macleod Trail is a good example of a moderately strenuous hiking trail that allows hikers to get into the forest easily and explore its wonderful features. You'll start your journey from the main parking area, which is situated in the village of Crowsnest Pass, and then you'll follow the Macleod Trail until you reach the Deerfoot Trail where you'll have to cross some high ground to reach the final destination, the Deerfoot Trail.

However, if you're looking for something a little bit more challenging then the Lake Trail might be what you need. It's a short trek through the woods to Lake Louise and then onto the West Shore, where you'll have a great view of Mount Batur, Calgary Tower and the town of Canmore. From here you'll take the Lake Trail and make your way through the park, reaching the Glenmore Trail just after the Glenmore Trail Bridge and continue on to the South Rim Trail where you can go hiking or just enjoy the gorgeous views and beautiful countryside of the South Rim.

If you have a little more adventurous side then there's the South Macleod Trail, where you'll head down the South Macleod River valley and along the South Macleod River to Lake Louise and then to the North Macleod Trail, where you'll head up the south bank of the South Macleod River valley and make your way towards the South Macleod River Gorge. If you want a challenging backpacking adventure then the East Macleod Trail would be the right option for you.

There are several other trails for hikers and mountain bikers within Calgary Macleod Trail National Park. From the main parking area there are two more trails to hike and the West Macleod Trail will provide you with another choice to choose from, but this time you'll head towards the South Macleod River and through some beautiful scenery that will definitely bring a smile to your face.

So whether you want to take a walk or head out to the slopes to enjoy some of the best mountain biking you'll ever have, or whether you simply want to spend the day hiking the woods, you'll find the Calgary Macleod Trail an enjoyable option for any occasion. Just be sure to check the trail maps and other information available before venturing out.
