Goat Creek is a great, easy MTB ride between Banff and Whiteman's Gap, above Canmore. It's about 19 km long and very popular. A lot of people shuttle and only cycle it from Whiteman's to Banff. Many of them are families trying to get their kids to enjoy mountain biking (which is great to see), but yeah....some of them are lard arses. And some of them carry radios playing f*cking country music at loud volume. Death by bear might be an appropriate reward for that kind of behaviour....
Despite the unwarranted intrusion of slide guitars on the wilderness, it was a great little ride: 38 km round trip and a height gain of 600 m or so, plus all the up-and-down on the trail. Next time we'll do it with the Rundle Riverside trail as the return leg.
