A new technical flow trail for the Canmore Nordic Centre, built in 2022. Top Gun offers a unique experience at the CNC, with some bigger features than is typically found in the park. It's fast, fun, and pretty much all downhill. Lap this trail by taking Orchid back up to Canmore Trail and back to the parking lot.

This trail was built with funding from the Community Facility Enhancement Program, provided by the Province of Alberta.

      A couple of the berms halfway down have been newly rebuilt and are a bit soft. The rest is packed and good to go.
