ROAD RIDE - LEVEL: Easy to intermediate pace on an advanced route

Coordinator: Lee Sitek

Distance: 40km

Pace:  Your own pace

Elevation Gain: 712 m

Description: Ascend the highest paved road in Canada while the winter gate is still closed -- enjoy the scenery with no cars on the road. This is a challenging route with lots of climbing, but we will take it at an easy to intermediate pace and no one will be left behind.

Please come prepared with clothing for changeable mountain weather conditions. We will be gaining significant elevation -- even on a nice day, it will be colder higher up and the long descent back can be very chilly. As the entire route is closed to cars, make sure you are self-sufficient with all the food, water, and emergency supplies required. 

Parking: Start from Pocaterra parking area, shown on map. 

Park Pass: Reminder! You must have a Kananaskis park pass to visit the park. See: https://www.alberta.ca/kananaskis-conservation-pass.aspx
