"I Heard it was a great trip"

I am not sure where you heard that, but I was there, and I really must disagree with you!!



It was an excellent trip!! Almost 200 kms, 11 machines, lots of beverages, and a ton of fun...

I will eventually get time to put up photos, videos and GPS tracks, but too busy right now.

Thanks again for the incredible hospitality and a tour well done Hadster.

Yeah I have spent tons of time in the area camping and fishing but that was all before getting into the OHV game. So many areas I want to ride around there but the old rail line is at the top of the list

Looks like a good ride. We started going down the tracks from the pipeline near horburg. But it started raining pretty hard. The wife really wants to see the caboos and some family members want to do the ride to nordegg. So hopefully this year...

Also.. Does someone have GPS tracks to upload to my gps? or just the pics that have been posted here?
Thanks

Anyone planning to be out in the Nordegg area on July 3? Looking to do Baldy Mtn and maybe the west part of the rail line.

We rode the rail line this spring. Was in good shape

Skeg was frozen and not bad.

We did find some of trail was logged out.
