I had somehow never ridden the Lake Minnewanka shoreline trail before, but managed to get in two rides this year before the wildlife closure kicked in. Definitely not Chariot friendly unfortunately, otherwise we could do a family bike and hike up Mount Aylmer.
A good ride to hit early in the day if you’re going to be riding on the weekend too. Trail enjoyment is considerably reduced for everyone involved when you’re constantly having to slow right down and ring your bell to politely pass hikers. Fantastic fun if you can get a clear run at it though.
On the July version of the ride we actually made it out to the Warden’s Cabin (in May we’d had to turn back early due to work schedules). Sitting on the rocky beach and eating lunch, a deer wandered past and tried to eat our bicycles.
(And sorry for the slightly dodgy phone photos, but my camera is just to big to enjoyably haul out on single-trail bike adventures… and yes we are dorks with bikes. Thank you for noticing.)
