Mountain Bike Trail Care

The Bow Valley and surrounding Kananaskis Country boast some of the best mountain biking Canada has to offer. Unfortunately in recent years mountain bikers have been faced with wide spread trail closures. The friends of Kananaskis Country are committed to providing quality mountain bike experiences for riders of all levels without undermining the ecological integrity of the area.
