We’ll walk from Banff townsite, along the Bow River, through neighbourhoods, and along forested pathways below the steep cliffs of Tunnel Mountain. As the final section of the trail ascends, views open up across the Bow Valley to Mount Rundle. We’ll loop back through town to warm up at a café *.
*Café stop is optional. We will stop along the walk to eat so bring a lunch/snacks and plan to enjoy something more to eat at the café if you’d like to stay after the walk.
