It's that time of year when the contemplation of where to go takes up some of our free time. We have some friends that have never been to the Canadian Rockies so we thought this would be a great destination for this summers ride. We will be riding the bike and our friends will be using their car since they do not ride. Our plans are to camp most of the time and resort to a hotel/motel only when necessary (Heavy Rain!!)
All of this is tentative and subject to change. So far it looks like we will take off from home and ride to Idaho where we will pick up their daughter and spend a day White Water Rafting. We'll leave Idaho and spend a day or so at Georgetown Lake near Anaconda, MT. I graduated from Anaconda High in 1972.
When we leave there we'll head up to Flathead Lake for the night then on to Glacier Park where we will ride the Going to the Sun Highway. We'll stop for a couple of nights in Waterton Park so our friends can attend church on Sunday. When we head out from there we'll be heading north into the Canadian Rockies to stop at the Peter Lougheed Provincial Park.
Then we will spend the next week to week and 1/2 in Banff and Jasper Parks. Currently the plan is to take 3 days driving back through Canada just above the US/Canadian Border.
I'll post our route when we have it all laid out. Of course like any great vacation as soon as you take off on it the plans should be tossed out and you just wing it!!
