The Tunnel Mountain Hoodoos Trail runs from the Tunnel Mountain Drive in Banff up to the Hoodoos Viewpoint on Tunnel Mountain. From this viewpoint you can see the Hoodoos down the slope and in the valley. There is no official trail to the Hoodoos.

The approximately five-kilometer Hoodoos Trail in Banff National Park runs, starting at the Tunnel Mountain Road, parallel to the banks of the Bow River. He overcomes a height difference of about one hundred meters.
The name hoodoos trail is misleading, hoodoos are mostly nonsmoking along the trail.

Halfway up this road around Banff, you have a fabulous view of Banff, the Bow River and the Banff Spring Hotel.
