Sarcee Trail

Sarcee Trail is a major urban arterial road in Calgary, Alberta. It is divided into two portions, one in the north end of the city, and one in the south end of the city. Originally planned as one continuous route, plans to connect the two halves have been shelved. The road is named for the Tsuu T'ina, who were also known as the Sarcee.

Sarcee Trail North

The northern half of Sarcee Trail travels between the communities of Sherwood in the north and Silver Springs in the south. It starts at the intersection of Crowchild Trail and Silver Springs Gate, a short road linking Sarcee Trail to the Silver Springs community after plans to connect the two halves of Sarcee Trail fell through. Heading northbounds, Sarcee Trail terminates at Sherwood Boulevard in the north, acting as the divider between several communities along the way.

Sarcee Trail South

Sarcee Trail between Patterson and Edworthy Park

The southern half of Sarcee Trail acts as a major connector between Glenmore Trail to the south and 16 Avenue North in the west end of the city, though the road continues north into the community of Bowness at 34 Avenue. Sarcee Trail crosses the divide between the north and south halves of the city just before reaching Bowdale Crescent, a short service road.
