Blackfoot Trail

Blackfoot Trail is a super-4 expressway in Calgary, Alberta.

It is named for the Blackfoot Confederacy, and more specifically the Siksika Nation, located east of Calgary.

The road runs from 17 Avenue SE in the north, where Blackfoot Trail meets Deerfoot Trail (Highway 2), to Southland Drive in the south.

It is the historical alignment of Highway 2 in south Calgary.

[5][6] Blackfoot trail started construction in 1957 and ended in the early 1960s.
