What riders say
Killer workout on the way up, great views from the top, and even better riding on the way down.
These trails are better maintained than most amusement park rides and a lot more fun.
Stairway to Heaven is a rewarding climb that's even more fun on the way down!

A trail with history
The Bighorn Trail was built in the early 1900s by the Dominion of Canada Forestry Service as a pack trail to patrol the forests along the eastern slopes. A telegraph line ran along it to link the forestry cabins, and old insulators can still be seen beside the trail. Some old maps call it the High Divide Ridge. (Source)
Before HMBA became the trail manager with the Government of Alberta, the trail was maintained by the Foothills Recreation Management Association (FRMA).
