A Working Road Before a Walking Route
The trail's history reaches back to Calgary's sandstone era. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, it was used to haul sandstone to railway tracks. Later City consultation recorded a preference for retaining a natural surface alongside drainage and safety improvements.
