Elbow Valley Trail is a long-distance route that follows the Elbow River through a mix of forest, floodplain, and foothills terrain. The trail links campgrounds and backcountry areas, with sections that range from well-defined paths to rougher, less maintained stretches that requile offline and paper maps to navigate. It moves through a quieter, more remote landscape than many front-country trails, with plenty of beautiful river views and opportunities to see wildlife.
