on your southward leg, coming back down thru BC -take the Hwy 99 turoff north of Cache Creek and head down from there to Pemberton-Whistler-Vancouver via the "sea to sky" highway-you'll be grinning so hard your helmet won't fit

Looking at your route I notice you're missing out on the Banff-Jasper area. Some great scenery you'll be passing so close to. Try and see if you can change it up, you won,t be sorry.

I'll second skidder, if you have the time. Head to Calgary and do the Banff/Jasper route, then make your way north.

When are you planning on heading through the area?
We should be rolling your way around 5-6 Jul NS bound then back through 3-4 days later. I will definitely contact everyone who has offered while in their area if needed.
Thanks

We have ridden those areas before and IF time permits plan to detour from route to see again. Time will either be of plenty or short by the time we get there there so the statement "only time will tell" definitely fits.
Thanks
