Sundance Trail/Sundance Canyon Details
A nicely paved trail leads from Cave and Basin National Historic site and very quickly, to views of the mountains across the Bow River. Continue on a steady climb away from the river and the paved trail ends, leading to a moderately difficult trail that loops through a beautiful, water-filled canyon. More detailed trail descriptions and maps are available at Banff National Park and Parks Canada Visitor Centres, and remember when out on the trails that cell phone service is not reliable, but the Chimani app is! The trailhead for this hike is Cave and Basin National Historic Site at the south end of Cave Avenue.
