Canadian Rockies video

lomax · 02-07-2013, 12:42 AM

I ran across this video and it brought back a lot of memories of last summers "Canadian Rockies Rally" in Canmore AB. Only about 8 minutes long but worth the time for sure.

Enjoy!

Wow....simply awesome! As you well know, we rode most every road in that video during the Canmore Rally last July...and you can see for yourself just what a magical place the Canadian Rockies are. Mike and I also rode the Icefields Parkway together through Jasper NP the summer before last, a ride I will forever remember as it was a bluebird day, just as in that video. It just does not get any better than that! Thanks for sharing that Mike, it brings back some fantastic memories for me as well....

Really cool! Thanks for posting. Over the years I've been to many of the locations in the video (except Maligne Lake - gotta get there some time!)

I guess that living in Calgary we are spoiled and take our RM National Parks for granted. Great to see a video like that to help remind us of the natural beauty that is in our own backyard.

Just one question: I wonder if it was filmed entirely in 1080P High Definition?

Thanks Mike !! I never take that area for granted and I get the feeling of how awesome it is every time I go through there.
Looking fwd to seeing everyone in Colorado. What's your route going to be Mike/Al??? Maybe we can hook up along the way.

Hammer and I should be (if all goes according to plan) on a VR rolling rally the week before that ends up at Othella, WA on Friday 21st.

We'll head out from there the morning of 22nd and make our way to Colorado. Not sure of details yet but plan to hook up somewhere with Eagle Eye (and maybe doc from Lethbridge) enroute. Not sure about connecting with Kris on his route or not. He could be a day's ride or so ahead of us. I do like the idea of doing the Trail Ridge Road on the way to Estes park.

Would likely come back home through the BearTooth Pass route.
