Whether you’re walking, hiking, or biking the Tr

Whether you’re walking, hiking, or biking the Trans Canada Trail, there are plenty of delightful discoveries to make. The trail traverses diverse landscapes like parks, forests, rivers, and more, making it one of the most fascinating places to easily connect with nature.

Take a ride or a stroll down Bearspaw Trail for an easy 2.2 km. The path winds through blowing grasslands on the north bank of the Bow River, and links the west side of Calgary’s Haskayne Park with Michael’s Creek in Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park. This part of the trail will eventually connect Calgary to Cochrane.

Looking for a more challenging route on two wheels

Looking for a more challenging route on two wheels?

After a quick caffeine fix and a scone from @cochranebakingcompany you’ll be ready to work for the views at Stockmen’s Trail at Historic Cochrane Ranche. Beginning at the parking lot of Historic Cochrane Ranche, this out-and-back route is a mix of pavement and gravel that rolls through lush grassland and forested area.

Trail 1 is a winding dirt trail that runs along the banks of Big Hill Creek, making for a bumpy ride featuring plenty of rocks and roots. Head north at the trailhead to hop on Ranche Trail 3 for a ride that’s punctuated by thrilling twists, turns, and blind corners.

Conquer the climb to the top of the ridge via Ranche Trail 2. Your heart pumping effort will be rewarded with exquisite views of the town from the Men of Vision Statue—the perfect place to stop and take in the sights.

For longer bike routes, head out to @glenbowranch . You’ll find almost 40 km of pavement and shale to explore. They're even suitable for your electric scooter, so you can coast along surrounded by heavenly rolling hills.

Scoot, roll, or pedal your way through Cochrane’

Scoot, roll, or pedal your way through Cochrane’s exciting trail system! Adventuring on two wheels has never been easier, or more fun. Before you hit the trails, visit @bikebros or @bighillcycle to help you choose your perfect e-bike or pedal option.

You can even zip around town in style with a @rollscooters rental. This electric scooter is an eco-friendly option that allows you to get some fresh air while cruising through your errands or getting out for a joy ride. They now offer e-bikes as well!

Looking for a family friendly ride?
Head over to Riverfront Park and follow Riverfront Trail to River Ave. A fairly easy ride, the 4.7-km trail runs along the Bow River, surrounded by nature and wildlife including birds like woodpeckers and chickadees. Take a rest stop and snack break at one of the many picnic areas, and with any luck you’ll spot grazing mule deer.

Also starting at Riverfront Park is the Mitford Park Loop, which is a great family bike ride option for older children who can handle a switchback climb—but don’t worry, the views are well worth the work! The lookout provides exceptional views of the mountains, especially at sunset.

After you’ve worked up an appetite, stop by the newest restaurant in Heritage Hills, @aamanepalesecuisine to load up on Italian delicacies to make a drool-worthy meal at home, or feast on the deli’s daily specials like house-made pasta, bread.

Hop on your Enduro motorcycle & explore our 3 best

Hop on your Enduro motorcycle & explore our 3 best adventure touring routes:

1. Highway 40 north to Ghost River Loop
The rugged Ghost River Wilderness Area is fully protected to preserve conservation efforts. The upper reaches are known for ample opportunities to hike, scramble and climb, with the North Ghost living up to its reputation as one of the best rock climbing locations in Canada. Check out the Ghost Public Land Use designated trail system and get familiar with the motorcycle-friendly options. Look for trails on the map around Fallen Timber South Provincial Recreation Area to get the most out of your ride!

After your adventures, head back to Cochrane and cool off on @blacksmithpubcochrane 's patio with a handcrafted cocktail and burger.

2. Cochrane to Horse Creek Loop
The Grand Valley area is a favourite for its twisting roads and beautiful scenery, including stunning countryside and the wide open sky. Keep your eye out for critters as you near the Harold Creek Sanctuary, a popular spot for wildlife sightings & bird watching. The stretch of Stud Creek Road is the perfect place to pull over, take a deep breath of country air and enjoy the tranquility. For more solitude, you can cast a line for walleye at Horse Creek.

After a big day on the road, relax on the patio at @cabeza.grande.cochrane with a margarita in one hand and a taco in the other.

3. Cochrane to Powderface to Sibbald Creek Loop
Don’t hit the highway hungry — get caffeinated at @caffe_mezzo & savour one of their many fresh pastries, or pick up a ready-made meal for later. Trust us, you’ll want to pack enough to munch on before you set out!

The picturesque and winding Powderface Trail is an exciting journey. Situated at the front ranges of Kananaskis Country, you’ll find the ride includes everything that makes the heart of Alberta a stunning sight for adventure motorcycle tours. Cruise along gurgling creeks, feel the cool shade of dense forests, and experience thrilling uphill climbs.

Pro tip: Be sure to download your maps and check all regulations for activities you're setting out to do.

A wide open road is waiting! Explore the back road

A wide open road is waiting! Explore the back roads of the Cochrane area with dual sport motorcycle touring. Designed for off-road riding, dual sport motorbikes (also known as enduro bikes) help you cruise gravel roads with ease, so you can focus on taking in the awe-inspiring surroundings.

Before you zip off on one of southern Alberta’s best adventure touring motorcycle rides, keep in mind that there’s no cell phone service in the backcountry, and there are no amenities. It’s a wise move to invest in a satellite communicator or let someone know your route, and always pack enough water and snacks for your outing. Once you’re prepared, hop on your enduro motorcycle and explore our 3 best adventure touring motorcycle routes that begin and end in Cochrane.

Life is a highway! There’s nothing like cruising

Life is a highway! There’s nothing like cruising along winding country roads, surrounded by stunning scenery—especially from behind the handlebars of a motorcycle. Here's three great motorcycle day trips leaving from Cochrane:

1. Cochrane - Water Valley - Bergen - Lochend Loop
Fuel up with a coffee & fresh muffin at @cochranecoffeetraders before you hit the road. Enjoy the sprawling acreages and farmland views and keep your eyes peeled for the historic Dartique Lodge, built in 1934.

In the Bergen area, you’ll also find plenty of picturesque farms and ranches, but don’t miss out on visiting artist Morton Burke’s Bergen Rocks International Sculpture Park.

This loop takes approximately 2 hours to travel without breaks, but you’re going to want to stop and experience rural tranquility and small town charm along the way!

2. Cochrane - Highwood Pass
You’ll love the spectacular views on this 114-km ride, showcasing the highest paved pass in Canada. Stop by @goodearthquarry to get your caffeine fix and a filling snack or lunch before you take a cruise surrounded by staggering mountain ranges. There is plenty of wildlife to see, and there are trails that connect to day use areas, so you can take a break from your bike with a wander to immerse yourself in nature.

3. Cochrane to Bragg Creek – Highway 762 – Plummer’s Road – Priddis
Feel the exhilaration! This circuit takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes, making it the perfect non-stop motorcycle road trip to squeeze in around your other summer activities.

If you have more time, take a detour on Route 66 to the Elbow Falls Recreation Area for a snack and a rest. Watch for the Alberta Wild Horses that roam in the area from Maclean Creek to the start of Powderface Trail.

Hosting an epic picnic is easy with a backdrop as beautiful as Cochrane. Wondering where to spread your blanket? We've got a few great locations suggestions for you:

Nothing makes a picnic better than the chance to see an incredible sunset. Grab your partner and take a little stroll up to the Men of Vision Statue at Historic Cochrane Ranche for the best view in town.
