Canmore Hoodoos Trail Description
The Canmore Hoodoos Trail starts from the parking area at the bike park. From here head to the far left side of the parking lot next to the bike park. Follow the clear multi-use trail down a short slope before gaining incline. The trail is clearly defined and leads hikers to a viewpoint over the hoodoos. The hoodoos are ancient geological formations in the shape of towers that rise above the trail. Catch some amazing views across the valley from up high before continuing on. Make your way to a junction with Silvertip Road before turning back to return.
