Slicing through a wild and rugged valley between Canmore and Banff, the Goat Creek Trail is a 17 km, multi-use backcountry gem that’s part of The Great Trail. Its width and gentle grade make it an ideal family-friendly adventure.

Punching through the pristine valley between Mount Rundle and Sulphur Mountain, the Goat Creek Trail is best completed starting in Canmore at the trailhead, which is located approximately 9 km from the townsite up the Spray Lakes Road.

This trip is geared for beginner and intermediate riders as the trail hugs the Rundle Mountain Range and the beautiful Rocky Mountain views are non-stop.
