Gorge Creek Loop 66.6km
In our opinion, this is the absolute best multi-surface day ride in the Calgary area.
*** July 6 2022 Update: It appears there is some active logging happening on the east end of the Gorge/Ware Road, all the way to km15. The logging company has also fixed a handful of drainages from the gate at Ware Creek to around km15.
*** Gorge Creek Road is usually not rideable until sometime in June *** Bring Bear Spray***
Excellent multi-surface ride, suitable for gravel bikes. Can be ridden in either direction, we recommend counter-clockwise.
Park at the junction of Maclean Creek Road and Gorge Creek Road.
Gorge Creek Road is closed to vehicles for most of it's length, has no cell service, and bears live there. Be bear aware, be prepared to self-extract in an emergency, and most importantly - slow down and enjoy.
You can turn this into a 2-day/1 night bikepacking adventure by staying at Blue Rock Campground located at the western end of the Sheep Highway or a one of the bandit camp spots on the closed-to-cars segment.
No cell service for majority of the route - be prepared.
