Last summer we cycled Canmore to Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies. It's about 87 km with 910 m of ascent and 480 m of descent, for a net elevation gain of about 430 m.
It was cool and rainy when we started out, and cleared up throughout the day.
Short steep hill between Canmore and Banff:
Snack and bathroom break, about 10 km into our ride:
Lunch in Banff, about 25 km into the ride. Glad to be underneath a heater!
Back on the road. The old highway was closed to traffic most of the way.
WWI Internment (POW) Camp
Getting close!
Phew, made it ... hiking for the next few days!
