The second of the 1A routes, known
as the Bow Valley Trail, begins on its western end in Canmore, off of
the Trans-Canada Highway turnoff near Palliser Trail and Harvie Heights
Road, both major roads in Canmore. While in Canmore, it carries "Bow
Valley Trail" as the name of the street as well as the highway itself.
There, it heads eastbound (passing the Trans-Canada Highway once), along
the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks, until it reaches the town of Exshaw.
From there, the Bow Valley Trail heads to the northeast, past the northern
end of Highway 1X, to the southern end of the northern Highway 40. |
