As mersar has pointed out, Banff Trail was what is now Crowchild beyond where it ends. It was likely a lot more of a winding road than the Crowchild of today and that piece of asphalt in Varsity Estates could well have been part of it.

Edmonton Trail was the Calgary end of the C & E Trail (Calgary & Edmonton). Pieces of that original C & E Trail are still named as such in the Red Deer area.

Some of the Banff Coach Road's alignment beyond where it ends today can still be seen crossing the TCH just west of the interchange. It continued west and north from there (most of it now obliterated) to Cochrane and entered Cochrane in the SE corner. The bridge over the Bow in Cochrane is still there.
