Re: Fall Drive - End of Sept

Damn, I'm out if it's the 29th... would've been nice to get the E30 out for one last cruise this year, but I'll be heading to Hawaii that afternoon

I'll take the car for you haha.

Re: Fall Drive - End of Sept

bow valley parkway is a good drive as long as there aren't many tourists driving on it. and it would be a nice shot to get a whole bunch of cars in at the abandoned gas station building on the return trip where hwy 1 east turns into a 3 lane with the passing lane.

This the one you are talking about? I have always wanted to do photos here, really cool spot:

Re: Fall Drive - End of Sept

I'm in for Sunday cruise, but I doubt I can do a 6-7 hour cruise.

Re: Fall Drive - End of Sept

I agree that a 6-7 hour cruise is going to be tough to do. So why not plan it out so everyone can participate. Plan the cruise to lake louise and whatever routes you guys want to go, but make the very first stop in Canmore for maybe a booster juice or lunch or something. Then those who want to do the long cruise can stay and those that dont have more time can head back to Calgary. Best of both worlds there

Yes I agree with you.

Re: Fall Drive - End of Sept

Any route planned yet? This looks like a nice driving road. Sheep River Provincial Park and Falls. Anybody been out that way?

Re: Fall Drive - End of Sept

I have only driven for one year but here's my plan.
Meet at COP petrol canada at 10am, take crowfoot and go on 1A, reach Canmore for lunch somewhere? Then banff for photos? And lake Louise at around 3pm? And take the same road back?

Re: Fall Drive - End of Sept

HWY 40 and 66 are closed so those are a no go... I'll do some mapping and get it up soon.

Re: Fall Drive - End of Sept

So this is what I was thinking.

10:30 - Meet at Petro Can with full tank of gas

11:00 - Leave the Petro Can across from COP and head over to HWY 1A to Canmore

12:30 - Go for lunch at the Rocky Mountain Bagel Company

13:30 - At this point the groups will separate into those who head back to Calgary and those who wish to go up to Lake Louise (Park passes for those heading into Banff will be needed). I suggest taking the Bow Valley Parkway up to Lake Louise.

15:00 - Arrive at Lake Louise. Fill up at the Petro Can maybe grab a quick bite and head back.

15:30 - Leave Lake Louise to Mt. Norquay

16:30 - Arrive at Mt. Norquay and take pics

18:00 - Go to Lics for an ice cream.

Here is a map

Let me know your thoughts guys.

I like it! Fun twisters on the way there, and high speed run sections on the way back.

Re: Fall Drive - End of Sept

Remember guys this is a cruise. Not a race...

Re: Fall Drive - End of Sept

I just drove the 1A between Lake Louise and Banff a couple weeks ago and the road is in great shape.
