See all- Glenbow Ranch Provincial ParkGlenbow Ranch Provincial Park, Cochrane, AB
Join us for an early stroll through Glenbow Ranch. It is 3,200 acres of native fescue grassland and an active cattle ranch only a few minutes west of Calgary. Enjoy stunning vistas, rolling hills, and spot the occasional cowboy as you explore nearly 40 kms of paved and shale path. Let's get started at 10 am to avoid the heat of the day!
It is a moderate hike with a some elevation gain over a short distance. Please take breaks as required.
Dog on leash are welcome to join!
