Recommended for visitors and locals alike, this trail is an accessible, lesser-beaten path thats takes you right out of Banff town up to a sweeping vista.

The Hoodoos Trail runs through forest and along the Bow River, eventually making its gentle way up a slope to the lookout at the end. The elevation gain is negligible, and you are rewarded with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and the river along your way. Halfway along the trail you cross a lush meadow where deer are often found grazing.
