Red Rock Canyon and Akimina parkway are active roadways without shoulders about 20km each with more elevation. I think 50 km posted limits similar to biking 1A when it’s opened. I can’t remember if the elevations are bad or not. Both are down hill on the way out so that helps.

We went down to Waterton and did the path from the gate to townsite and it kicked our ass. My kid's hated it. It was nothing like Legacy trail as it is much more hilly and has quite a few short steep sections. It was so bad that about a quarter of the way out I turned back and got the car and drove it closer to the town so we wouldn't have to ride back as far. By the time we rode around the town and lake a bit I realized they would not make it back so I rode to the car myself and picked them up in town. We drove up to Red Rock Canyon and that road is basically a death sentence for a cyclist if it is not closed to traffic. Such a narrow road with lots of blind corners and blind hills.
