2022: Icefields Parkway, eh?

With Randy Suhr, Jim Ingraham, and Dave Bowman – at Athabasca Falls, on the Icefields Parkway.

If you love riding the fabulous roads in the Western US, as I do, and you hit the road year after year, you eventually begin to run out of new roads to ride, new mountain passes to conquer. So there’s no shame in re-tracing old tracks, or visiting familiar haunts. In 2015, I rode through the Canadian Rockies on a rented Harley. In 2019, I rode my own bike along the coast of Washington, Oregon and California.

So in 2022, I combined those two journeys for an epic three and a-half week adventure: northward up the Pacific Coast, stopping just short of Canada before riding the San Juan Islands. Then, heading across the Canadian border and riding the Icefields Parkway, connecting Jasper and Lake Louise.

This ride included three routes from my Top Ten list: the Pacific Coast Highway (#4), the Icefields Parkway (#6), and Lolo Pass (#10).
