Athabasca Glacier, Alberta

Quick hike to the base of the Athabasca Glacier in Jasper National Park. I hiked this with full motorcycle riding gear, there were a lot of perplexed faces.

It’s amazing the places a motorcycle can take you.

Jasper National Park, Alberta

Got back from my Canadian Rockies road trip late Wednesday. It was amazing, draining, at times scary, and definitely epic. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Here are some short memorable moments:

On the last day of the trip, I awoke in Montana, had lunch in Idaho, drank a pint at No Li brewpub in Eastern Washington, and returned home to Seattle WA. (560+ miles)
After spending hours riding in cold hard rain in Alberta, I couldn’t feel my hands or feet anymore. As I pushed on through the pass to Jasper the temperatures plummeted and the hard rain turned into a snowstorm. My heart raced as I tried to keep the bike rubber side down.
I came around a blind corner at about 60 mph to see a family of big horn sheep crossing the road.
After each long day of riding, I sampled a pint of the local brews in BC, Alberta, and Montana.

On the Road

Tomorrow I will begin my Canadian Rockies motorcycle road trip. The trip goes through two Canadian Provinces, three US states, and eight National Parks over the course of 2000 miles.

There is something pure & right about a motorcycle road trip. The bike has no air conditioning, no heat, no room for stretching your legs, no windshield wipers, no crash protection, no comfy seat, no radio, no Bluetooth iPhone connectivity, and definitely no sipping on your Starbucks mocha Frappuccino. It’s just you, the bike, and the road.

No updates for a week. -TrekEthos
