A great new trail that climbs up from the meadow to the top of T2 (providing an additional access to that area). The downtrack is buff and well bermed. Good in winter as well

       That was done by the volunteers of Canmore Trail Alliance. We were there several times and I was impressed of the results :-)))

       Great trail, great flow and many fun surprises along the way. Like a little stump-jump and the drops at the end. Great extension now to make a longer loop.

       Super buff and awesome flow. Closest thing to a Rossland or PG trail around. Thanks, trail builders!

       What happened to the extension that went to the lower junction with No Homers??
