The best bike routes in and around Banff
Lake Minnewanka Loop
Cycling route in Banff, Alberta, Canada
This is a great loop with fantastic mountain views. Park and start at the Cascade Pond parking lot. I like to do the loop clock-wise - it has many smaller climbs vs. the other way around that has one brutal climb. When at Lake Minnewanka (there are washrooms) - then venture further north on the trail along the lake. Also worthwhile if you have still lots of energy left: Veer off to Johnson Lake on your way back. Always carry bear spray with you when out and about on trails in this area ! And don't forget your park pass :-)

Banff Golf Course Road Loop
Cycling route in Banff, Alberta, Canada
This is an easy ride for any type of bike. It is smoothly paved and once you get to the loop it is just one way. This route is great for taking stunning pictures of the mountains and valley, or to break-in a new bike or get started again. Despit its short run, I'll definitely ride this one again. Park right at the Bow Falls next to the river.
