Shaganappi Trail (/ˌʃæɡəˈnæpi/) is a major super-4 expressway in the northwest quadrant of Calgary, Alberta. It extends to the south as Montgomery View, a small service road in the neighbourhood of Montgomery and that provides access to Edworthy Park, passes north past Market Mall and the western boundary of Nose Hill Park, and terminates in the neighbourhood of Nolan Hill in the north, with city planning maps indicating future northern extension beyond 144 Avenue NW.[2] The name "Shaganappi" is of Cree origin, referring to the bison hide lacings that held Red River ox carts together.[3] Despite the name, it is not located near the Shaganappi neighbourhood, which is located south of the Bow River.
