Went on a "roadtrip" with my wife, daughter and brother. We took gorge road al the way to Seymor Arm.
What a long and tiring drive. Especially with a toddler asleep in your arms. Scenery is nice, but to be honest I expected more.
When we reached km 44 (I think) where Concorde branches off, there was a big stone off to the side with a note: June 2020 landslide at km 60. Passable by bike only. Just at the thought of having to drive all the way back, my wife was ready to get out and walk. We kept driving though and soon met a car. Guys told us road is passable. What a relief! A bunch of big trees complete with their root system had come down and blocked the road. Somebody cut it apart though and created just enough space for us to get through.

At least I found Fernie's zipper mouth creek

Not close enough to the Mountains, AB
Had a buddy go up Queest on Saturday

No one will believe you (or him) without pictures.

That is sarcasm, as I know there have been people who've ridden on Canada Day in years past.

Supposedly there was a convoy of sleds seen a few days ago in the Revy/Sicy area, would love to hear about that if you're on the site
