Calgary Trans Canada Trail

Explore Calgary’s stretch of the Trans Canada Trail on smooth, mostly paved paths. Most of the ride is on dedicated cycleways with a few short links on quiet streets, weaving through parks, riverfront sections, and across handy bridges. It starts and ends in the city, so it’s easy to jump on for a quick spin or make a full day of it. Expect gentle ups and downs, steady flow, and plenty of spots for a coffee stop or photo break. Surfaces are mainly asphalt with the odd concrete bit and a couple of wooden crossings, so any bike with slicks will feel at home. Keep an eye out for pedestrians in busier areas and occasional access roads. Best from spring to fall; in winter, check conditions before you roll.
