Beautiful pics. Seen the Rockies from a distance and been in the Kananaskis Valley briefly. Some day would love to get out and ride through there a lot more.

We were on a ten day tour from Whistler to Calgary which took us through several national parks.
It was an awesome experience and made you feel very proud to live in such a beautiful country.

I agree and know this road well. We d have some of the prettiest prestene roads anywhere, but it's the other four wheel drivers that drive me crazy. Oh well, just an old gut blabbering away!

Burning off the stock rubber so far this year but I have 50/50 tires on standby. When I swap out the road biased Tourances I'll take the Scrambler to some nicer places.

Revisiting this thread for an update now the Scrambler has been to the same spot the CRF had previously been. Not the first time I went up there but I guess I forgot to get some decent photo's. Anyway here's my Scrambler at the Baseline Fire Lookout, Alberta.

And from the old mining town of Nordegg.

The disused mine railway bridge.



The mine site (currently closed to visitors).



And riding part of the old rail line, which has been turned into a multi use trail.

Outstanding! That is my kind of riding and exploring. Thanks for the pics.

A few more pics from my Rocky Mountain backyard.

Alberta's Forestry Trunk Road.



On the banks of the North Saskatchewan River.



It isn't always sunny. Baseline Mtn.



Baseline Mtn. on a much better day!



More Forestry Trunk Rd.





Smoky skies due to wild fires.



And there's often feral horses to be seen.

Thank you for this great impressions, Rocky.
In western Europe we have no chance for rides like this, sigh...

That's a great shame. Attitudes are changing here too and there are people who would deny access to these areas if they ever get the chance. Meanwhile, I'll try to make the most of it.

That is the kind of riding I love and is why I have my Tiger 800XC. Great pics. Thanks for sharing.
