Aug 5th – Day 3 of riding. The first time I rode in the Rockies we did this ride. It seemed epic then. It’s still epic but more like an old friend. Powderface ridge descends to the Elbow River near Hwy 66. We drove into the Camping area and parked at the Forgetmenot pond. From there we rode up the Powderface Trail Road 7km to Prairie creek? climbed up to the ridge and down the multiuse trail back to the car.
Aug 3rd to 12th Rockies road trip with Kevn Foote and Greg Mazu – Kananaski Country and Canmore.
There are many place to travel in the world. Really we should check them out sometime. For some reason the Canadian Rockies keep calling us back.
