    Day trips from Calgary thread

    I thought it may be useful to have a thread listing day trips or places members have been and could go in their rides. It would be pretty cool to wake up and say what the hell should I do today, open the thread and pick a cool place to cruise to.

    Please post directions from Calgary to what ever destination you have been.
    Pictures would be killer too.

    I have yet to do a day trip but this year I plan to do many with the help of this thread.

    Who wants to be first?

    For those who haven't been there Elbow Falls is pretty cool.

    I can't figure out how to copy a google map here. But its a pretty straight forward drive. Actually kind fun when you get more west.

                If you wanted to do a little bit more driving, Radium. (This could also incorporate the ice cream/1A.)

                To Radium you go!

                Or, Drumheller, go for a hike around the hoodoos.

                Directions To Drumheller

                If you want to go on a driver around there is the Dinosaur Trail

                Directions around the Dinosaur Trail Not recommended for Really low cars, you cross a ferry and its pretty steep to get on and off.

                  Columbia Icefields: http://www.explorerockies.com/columbia-icefield. But I don't think the tours start until mid-April.
