Description
This section offers some of the most accessible, fantastic mountain scenery available in Western Canada, following the spine of the northern Rocky Mountains. The Canadian parks with their wide road shoulders provide excellent cycling conditions, but tourist traffic is heavy.
Fascinating side trips abound for natural and geological sightseeing, which include aerial trams and hiking onto glaciers. The route is a series of climbs and descents over passes into various river valleys. A spur into Banff is shown.
ABOUT ADVENTURE CYCLING MAPS
Adventure Cycling maps are created by cyclists, for cyclists, and they are some of the best available for those in search of discovery and adventure in North America. The maps reflect the association's research as well as suggestions from thousands of cyclists who have explored the Adventure Cycling Route Network. Adventure Cycling develops the best cross-country, loop, coastal, and inland cycling routes available, with turn-by-turn directions, detailed navigational instructions for the tricky sections, and elevation profiles in the high country.
The maps are waterproof and designed to fit in a handlebar-bag window or jersey pocket. The maps provide information specifically for cyclists: the location of bike shops, sources for food and water, and listings of overnight accommodations including camping facilities, small hotels, and cyclists-only lodging.
