Bull Trail Running Timelapse - Lethbridge, Alberta
This 9.31KM running route in Lethbridge, Alberta is where to find natural trails, man made trails, and urban pathways. It is a mostly flat running route with one large 1500 meter uphill section. Some of the notable route sections encountered include:
Bull Trail Park
Located on the west side of Lethbridge just off of whoop-up drive is Bull Trail park, which features both man made and natural trails leading from the upper coulees of the west side that stretch down into the river valley. The trail taken in this route also runs under the massive iron rail bridge that gives Lethbridge its name. Large sections of these trails were under construction the year that this timelapse was taken.
Elizabeth Hall Wetlands
The flat section of this trail run in the river valley runs through the Elizabeth Hall Wetlands nature preserve. The red shale trail runs through a large pond teaming with wildlife such as ducks, beavers, geese, and garter snakes. This trail loops around to other side of the pond (not pictured) where the Bridge Valley Golf course is situated.
Bridge Drive West
The largest paved ascent within Lethbridge at the time of this video, it is one large 1500 meter long asphalt roadside trail that takes several twists and turns before reaching the west side proper.
University Drive West
This urban pathway loops back towards whoop up drive and has several intersections with lights that may interrupt your run. This path also links up to the 30km Coal Banks Trail which you can follow the long way around to add another 10km to your distance before returning to the starting location.

Pavan Park Equestrian Trail Run | Lethbridge, Alberta
Located within the city limits of Lethbridge, Alberta (1km north of Uplands.) Pavan Park is a large wilderness park area spanning the Old Man River valley, and stretching up into the Coulees towards the highway.
Note: The trails in this valley are prone to flooding in rainy and winter seasons, and the eroded Coulee trail is dangerous in wet conditions. Please use caution when using this trail outside of dry seasons.
This trail run follows the city maintained equestrian trail used by stables housed at a nearby farm across the highway. The path starts from the upper parking area and follows the top of the coulees to a beautiful descent with full view of the Pavan Park valley below. After a slightly rugged descent, the trail switches into a relatively flat shale trail that follows the river and eventually loops back into rougher horse trails again.
For the final ascent, I chose to show off the other primary option of getting into the park by taking the paved road, which is a solid 700m of roadside paved asphalt leading back up towards the starting point at a constant gradual ascent.

Full Coal Banks Trail Lethbridge, Alberta Timelapse
Taken during fall, 2016. I ran the full 34.77km of the Coal Banks Trail in Lethbridge Alberta with my camera and a GPS unit to track the distance. I started at the Pavan Park end point north of the city, and followed the trail all the way around the city over the course of 3 days, with over 1200 photos taken by the end.
The trail is not clearly marked in a few locations, so there was one small section after Henderson Lake where I went a little further over city sidewalks until I met back up with the path about one kilometer later near Lethbridge College. Continuing on, I followed the path until just past the graveyard where I ended the first day due to failing light conditions.
Day 2 I resumed the path down into the Coulees on the south side past the Lethbridge police firing range at Botterill Bottom Park. Shortly after, the path turns abruptly at Indian Battle Park, and joins up with the Whoop up Drive overpass where you get a beautiful scenic view of the Old Man River valley. After only about 100 meters on the west side of the bridge, the Coal Banks Trail cuts under Whoop Up Drive and leads up towards the University of Lethbridge. The trail avoids the main facility buildings, and cuts straight through to the urban sections of the West Side through a scenic detour that eventually wraps around to Nicholas Sheran Park.
Past Nicholas Sheran, the Coal Banks Trail mixes it up a bit, and cuts in the middle of urban blocks past several schools and smaller parks on the West Side before eventually returning to Whoop Up Drive. As before, you retrace your steps over the river, and this time break off towards Fort Whoop Up in Indian Battle Park. Several other historic sites are passed as you make your way towards the iconic Viaduct rail bridge that Lethbridge is named after. At this point you are officially in Helen Schular Nature Preserve, and after a short trip down the path between the forest and the coulees, you will finally find yourself at the other end point of the Coal Banks Trail.
Alexander Wilderness Park Trail Run | Lethbridge, Alberta
Alexander Wilderness Park is a nature reserve on the north side of Lethbridge, Alberta near the uploads urban expansion which has been maintained as a nature reserve spanning from the coulees down into the Old Man River valley.
This trail starts at a free public parking area up top and follows a small trail along the grassy fields at the top of the Coulees. Heading westward towards the Old Man River, the trail eventually meanders down between the hills at a gradual decline and intersects with a shale trail the spans a few kilometers along the valley trees.
After two turn around points at the river boundary, the shale trails run back up between the hills to a lower parking area, with bathrooms and a picnic area. From here there are many tougher trails leading up the hillsides, but for ease of accessibility the route portrayed in this video simply follows the long gravel road the snakes up between the hills at a gradual incline back to the upper area where the route started. Always be safe and watch for cars coming down around the bends on this road!

Mt. Haig - near Castle Wildland Provincial Park (Alberta, Canada)
2017-07-09 - Mt. Haig is familiar to many as the mountain behind Castle Mountain Resort, a popular ski hill in SW Alberta. It is surrounded by Castle Wildland Provincial Park but the Haig/Gravenstafel area is managed by the resort. As such, the trails to the mountain are mostly straight-forward as hikers can go along the ski runs or maintenance trails. There is some good scrambling on the summit ridges and an exciting length of exposure between Haig and Gravenstafel Ridge.
One last note: I apologize for the jittery nature of some of the footage! (software issue).
