[QUOTE="Motorcycledoc, post: 830263, member: 13398"] Hi Roy - I agree with Griff's recommendation. Montana 17/Alberta 6 is a sweet little road. The best part of Highway 22 is from Highway 3 to Longview, and Highway 40 is great, although often not open over Highwood Pass until after June 15. The Icefields Parkway (93) from Lake Louise to Jasper is pretty spectacular in both directions. Of course it all depends on the weather - I hope you get sunny days this time! Don't go east on 16. Once you leave the National Park it's a boring straight piece of slab with little scenery. If you have time (and good weather), East on Highway 11 from Saskatchewan Crossing is interesting to about Nordegg, especially around Lake Abraham - different mountains, different scenery, some nice sweepers, much less traffic than on 93. From Nordegg to Rocky Mountain House continues to be relatively free of traffic and a fun ride, but not as much scenery as you're out of the mountains. Highway 22 south from Rocky is through farm and cattle country, with picturesque views of the mountains 60 miles to the west. Stop in Sundre for a beer with me if you take that route. I can also suggest some nice little backroads west of 22 that come out on 1A. Hal [/QUOTE]
