Default Suggested Routes

These are the popular tourist routes in the area (traveled FAR less than, say, roads around the Dragon).

And we have a local Crossfire owner (John and Peggy TwoHawks) that have showed us some really good runs that take you less than 1 hour from the hotel - I will try to post the one route I know soon.



ABOUT ROUTE 1A - When Pizzaguy was working in the area a few years ago, he discovered "The Natural Bridge" which is a stone bridge over an erroded rock formation that was formed naturally - but it LOOKS like someone built it.

One more option: For those who like to walk, we will also pass by a very unusual foot trial just south of Jasper that circles a tall natural rock formation. This is the sight of a WWII era military plane crash - one engine is near the trail. There is a stairway up to the top that takes you to an old Indian ceremonial ground. This option will cost us almost an hour to go visit and you want to carry a LOT of insect repellent. The climb is steep but if you don't hurry most of us can make it. Pizzaguy will make at least one trip up there during the week unless there is CONSTANT rain or no interest.










In the slide shows that Gary (VALK) Wemple made, you will see us riding a ferry. Mrs. Thorne Hall found a pamphlet in a restaurant that described a motorcycle tour that included a Ferry ride - and we incorporated part of their route to make "The Peel Ferry Run". This is an example of how we can plan all we want to - but the fact is, EVERYONE in attendance can contribute - this was a last-minute idea and frankly, it was a VERY fun day.
