up the canyon along well-maintained paths. There are several waterfalls
including a short tunnel to get a closer view of one waterfall. Further up (about

Bow Valley Parkway joins Trans-Canada Highway. You need
to go under the Trans-Canada Highway to get to the southbound lane. But be careful,
there is a Texas gate which is hard to cross on a bike. I usually walk my bike
across the gate.

Banff townsite. After you get into your accommodations,
head over to the Banff hot springs. After you have rested up, promise yourself that
you are going to do this ride again.
