Narrow single-track becomes rocky downhill becomes roots and mud joins up with a fire-road leading to a trail around an emerald-colored lake which joins up with the rest of Jasper's trail system, well-maintained by Parks Canada.  Mountain biking is permitted on most trails, except some of the more heavily used horse trails, in Jasper National Park.  Enjoy a spin on a wide, flat trail through valley-bottom forest, then grunt up a thigh-burning fire road to the top of Signal Mountain.  Bike rentals, sales and advice are available at local bike shops.

ROAD BIKING

  Touring from Banff to Jasper on the Icefields Parkway is something of a pilgrimage and a challenge to many bike-tourers, staying in hostels and campsites along the way. Whatever your road-biking level, you'll find the challenge you want with gorgeous views and most of all, fresh Rocky Mountain air.  Maligne Lake Road (45 min from Jasper Townsite) one of the tours, where you can coast down the rugged and spectacular mountain scenery at your own speed.  Local bike shop have a wide selection of bikes and gear for rent so you don't have to bring your own equipment.
