The Horseshoe Loop on the sunny side of Canmore is an easy cross-country trail that makes for a fun little loop. The extended route is the most popular option as it has a steep gully, a bit more technical terrain, and some excellent views from a meadow of the Bow Valley.

It's far from the most exciting mountain biking trail and is largely popular with locals living on Canmore's sunny side. Regardless, it's a pleasant loop with amazing views over the Bow Valley and Three Sisters. Overall, it is a quick and easy trail that can be done in an hour and some change. We recommend it to beginners, families, or any group with mixed abilities.
