Trails in Canada

Canada's routes stretch from the Pacific to Newfoundland. In British Columbia, the Hanes Valley Trail to Grouse Mountain is a hard 22 km crossing of the North Shore mountains above Vancouver, with a boulder-field climb to the ski area. In Alberta's Kananaskis Country, the Mist Mountain and Hot Springs Loop climbs past 3,000 m in the Front Ranges of the Rockies.

Ontario adds the Western Uplands Backpacking Trail, Day 2, a lake-and-forest stage in Algonquin Park, and Quebec contributes long rail-trail rides such as the Parc Linéaire des Bois-Francs Ride. On the Atlantic side, the Norris Point Lookout Trail, Gros Morne is a short climb above Bonne Bay. Road trips follow the St. Lawrence on Route 138, the Okanagan valley and the Yellowhead Highway to Prince Rupert.
