I decided to pop by here to explore Calgary's nature, and Nose Hill did not disappoint! What a huge and beautiful place, with so much open space and so many trails to follow around. The views and the sense of scale are fantastic, and there's a lot of interesting biodiversity if you look closely.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Nose Hill Park in Calgary! One must experienc this vast spa e affording a panoramic view of Calgary downtown! ! The park is one of the largest urban parks in North America, offering vast open spaces, rolling hills, and breathtaking views of the city and surrounding landscapes. It’s an ideal spot for nature lovers, hikers, and anyone looking to have a nice walk or enjoy solitude! The trails are well-maintained and cater to all levels of fitness. The natural prairie landscape is home to a variety of wildlife, adding an extra layer of excitement to the visit. One must visit in the evening to spot them though! Friends have spotted deer and bob cats! Nose Hill Park is a must-see destination in Calgary. I saw an amazing sunset and would love to visit again

Huge park with walking and biking paths throughout. This park is mostly prairie, however, there are numerous treed gullies. There are both paved, dirt and grass trails, with major paths having good signage. Cyclists will enjoy the endless descents, some of which are quite steep. A mountain bike is recommended. The park can get quite windy, as it is very exposed. There are some incredible views, particularly to the South and West. There are some interesting places to visit (such as the medicine wheel to the south of the park) and a number of glacial erratics strewn about.

I enjoyed a Saturday morning walk across Nose Hill Park. Its the perfect spot for a hike or just a leisurely stroll. The trails are extensive and well maintained, there are some signboards and maps to let you know where you are, and its dog-friendly - dogs are welcome everywhere with some off-leash areas too. The park is enormous and even at the weekend it never feels busy. There's some great view points of downtown Calgary and some other great photo opportunities. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy nature without even having to leave the city.

Gorgeous park with panoramic views over the city including downtown Calgary. There’s a variety of trails from more technical mountain biking ones to easy gravel options. There’s multiple places of interest to stop including a rock maze, Glacier hill, rocks, ponds, etc. Most trails are unshaded and requires uphill walking from the parking lot
