|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0km | 0km | Highway 1A West of Banff | Take the first turnoff west of Banff, the start of the 1A scenic route. Park on the side road 50 m from the start of the road. Lots of animals along the road - deer, elk, moose. Great views of the Sawback Range. Speed limit 60 km/hr. | W | 267° | 1418m |
| 10.24km | 10.24km | Highway 1A | Mostly easy rolling, but there are a couple of short sections of >9% just to get the circulation going. | NW | 307° | 1412m |
| 17.41km | 7.17km | Johnson Canyon | Popular spot for a short walk - beautiful canyon. Restaurant and lodge with cabins. Could be a base for cycling the Bow Valley. | NNW | 347° | 1433m |
| 22.51km | 5.11km | Approach to Castle Junction | Highway 1A continues straight Northwest - lodge at Baker Creek and then on to Lake Louise. | NNW | 320° | 1433m |
| 23.89km | 1.37km | Castle Junction | Join Highway 93 to Radium for the 300 meters up to Vermillion Pass. Storm Mountain Lodge, near the top of the pass offers scrumptious, if $$$ costly meals (gourmet). Two sections of 8% grade with breaks in between. Raptor nest with fledglings on the bridge crossing the Bow River. | WSW | 242° | 1438m |
| 34.37km | 10.48km | Eastbound on Rte 93 | Be careful on the descent easbound from Vermillion Pass. The bike lane/shoulder pavining is poor, narrow and cracked. I had to slow right down while being passed on an 8% grade by big trucks. | E | 71° | 1703m |
