Created to mark the 125th anniversary of Banff National Park, the Banff Legacy Trail connects the communities of Canmore and Banff. Along the way, you will find several rest and picnic areas with fantastic panoramic views. This scenic area is a wonderful, environmentally friendly way to explore by bike. The best time of year for the tour is from mid-April to mid-October. Incidentally, the route is approved for e-bikes and can be started from Banff or Canmore.
