Kootenay Rockies

Cranbrook

Cranbrook offers a diverse network of riding areas, from quiet singletrack and cross-country loops to black-diamond descents, set in the Rocky Mountain Trench between the Purcell and Rocky Mountains. Its sunny, dry climate and valley-bottom terrain help create one of the longer riding seasons in the Kootenays.

Cranbrook is an easy-access destination via Highway 3 from the east and west, or Highway 95 from the north and south, with daily flights from Vancouver and Calgary into the Canadian Rockies International Airport.

Cranbrook's trails are on the unceded traditional lands of the Ktunaxa Nation, bordering the ʔaq̓am band.
