Description

The Bow Valley has many beautiful areas to explore and is an area of stunning natural beauty.

This guidebook contains three classic traverses that start and end in iconic mountain towns, taking you through some of the most photographed mountains in the Rockies.

As the traverses are one way, you'll need to have two cars and drop one at the endpoint before heading out on the trail.

The terrain is challenging and takes you away from the more popular trails.

Adventures

Opal to Grizzly Traverse

One of the best all around views you will get off highway 40. A hard climb with ridges, route finding and beautiful trails.

Goat Traverse

A ridge traverse that tests your scrambling skills and your fear of heights.

Rundle Traverse

An iconic mountain range where you traverse to one of the most photographed mountains in Banff National Park.
