Description

Located at the base of an escarpment created by an ancient and much mightier Bow River, this natural area is just 15 minutes from downtown's office towers. Picnic and playground areas are suitable for families or larger groups, and a running/cycling path tracks closely to the river. The big attraction is the Douglas Fir Trail, a reasonably short but strenuous hike up and down a series of steps and walkways placed between the bases of beautiful, towering fir trees.
