Minnewanka Shuttle mountain bike with Roy. Difficult.

See the forum topic at https://elbowvalleycc.org/Member-Forum/13248461

This is a ride through Devil's Gap, along Lake Minnewanka, and into Banff. It is about 50 km on gravel road, singletrack, and pavement. A lot of the route is rough singletrack. This is a one-way trip. It is not an out-and-back or loop. There are no shortcuts.

Register now to show interest. Later in the summer we'll see what kind of transportation we need: friends or transportation company and collect any cost. We'll bus up the forestry trunk road north of Cochrane and ride west.

The portion of the trail beside the lake is closed to bikes from mid July to mid September. The lake and canal water level is usually low in September. That makes getting through Devil's Gap easier.

About the first 10 km of the route is gravel road. The bulk of the remainder is a single-track following the lakeshore. There are few hills, but lots of roots and rocks. Some sections have a slide-slope. See https://www.trailforks.com/trails/minnewanka for a description.

Electric bikes aren't allowed on Banff Park trails.
