Fat Biking Sundance Canyon
The perfect place to test out your fat biking skills is on the Sundance Canyon trail on the outskirts of Banff. This wide and open trail begins with a smooth downhill where you can get comfortable moving at speed. Of course, what goes down must come up, so keep that in mind for the return trip.
It's worth continuing past the downhill section to the riverside trail that follows right along the edge of the Bow River. It’s a stunning place to ride whether or not you make it to the end of the trail and Sundance Canyon itself.

Local Tips
This multi-use trail is open to fat bikers, snowshoers and cross-country skiers. Share the trail and avoid biking over pre-set tracks.
There are bike racks at the picnic area to lock up – bikes aren’t allowed beyond the racks.
The Cave and Basin, a National Historic Site, is well worth a visit before or after your ride.
