Aug 6th – Day 4 of riding. The Elbow Loop – While not the best trail since its a old exploratory road, it offers spectacular views and a good ride to see the lay of the land and the vastness of it.

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.
