Guidebook Routes
The following ten routes are featured in ‘Bikepacking in the Canadian Rockies’ written by Ryan Correy. A GPX track of each route can be viewed below, however, we highly recommend purchasing a copy of the book as an important resource for route information and as a necessary companion to the routes files provided. You can purchase a copy here.
Route issues that we were aware of at the time of publishing have been noted in the guidebook. Trail conditions are changing all the time - water levels, dead fall, trail erosion, access, etc. The guidebook and associated GPX files are a starting point for trip planning. It is essential that riders do their own research to confirm the information provided. Individuals must determine the risks, use their own judgment, and take full responsibility for their actions. Do not depend on any information found in the guidebook or on this website for your own personal safety. Your safety depends on your own due diligence and good judgment.
