Stoney Lookout Bike Trail Description

The Stoney Lookout bike trail is a straightforward trail that is accessible to all abilities. The single-track trail gently winds through the forest to the namesake lookout. From Stoney Lookout, you will be able to see the entirety of the Town of Banff through the clearing. This is a multi-use trail, so watch out for hikers.

You’ll turn around at the viewpoint and descend back to the parking lot where you began. There are extensions to the trail that take riders on a more intermediate route with a long descent to the Trans-Canada Highway.
