We left the Lake Louise Campground and headed towards Banff on the Bow Valley Parkway, 1A. A scenic route with minimal vehicle traffic, the eastern part of which was closed to vehicle traffic altogether. We passed many cyclists and had multiple conversations. We rode past a bear up on a mountain and a wedding photo shoot by Vermillion Lakes. In Banff, we headed to a laundromat to wash and dry everything and found a spot to dry our tents. We then headed up Tunnel Mountain to our campground, where a beautiful surprise awaited - the Hoodoos.
June 16, 2022
We left the Tunnel Mountain Village 1 Campground and headed to see the Hoodoos once again. We met a group of cyclists who shared their best routes and sights in the prairies. Exiting Banff we followed separated bike trails to join the Legacy Trail all the way to Canmore. A short ride, with some pesky headwind. We arrived, had lunch, went to a bike shop, then to an outdoor store, and then we headed for our accommodation for the night. We were hosted by someone we met on the Icefields Parkway.

Every time I see a new episode I am filled with inspiration.

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Thanks for watching and I'm glad you're feeling inspired.

@geoffreyhoney122 Год назад

Another awesome video Agnieszka! The views are indeed breathtaking & now I learned something new: the Hoodoos!I will include them when/if I ever get there. Wow, you improvisation chops are now stratosphere level! I am blown away by the tent in a stairwell hack! Bikepacking/ Tourers everywhere will steal that one! Thanks for doing this so I can live it vicariously till I can do it in real time! Patiently waiting for the next post. Roll On! VéloKröte

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Yes, the hoodoos were spectacular in person. And I saw more magnificent ones further into my trip. Drying out the tent that day was a challenge as it wasn't warm enough outside and we were a bit stuck. But the stairwell presented an opportunity and one thing I learned on this tour was to leverage opportunities that presented themselves. 😉

@goonboknamja Год назад

You were in my bicycle route finally! I love Legacy trail so much and went couple of times every year😊

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

You're lucky to be close by. It's a great trail to ride on.

@MeataVore Год назад

Love seeing your videos and you have inspired me to get out this spring and explore mountain ranges near me. I have my bike ready and camping equipment ready for off.

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Amazing! I'm so happy to hear this. I hope you have a great time.

@ReimaginedAdventures Год назад

Such a beautiful area to ride !! I always like stopping at bike shops out of town, for injoyment not for problems right !! But it's next to look around !! Thanks for the video 📹

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Yes! It's a great idea to visit bike shops just to have a chat or for some preventative maintenance. This bike shop was amazing. They gave me a bottle of degreaser for free! I was really thankful for that and completely did not expect that kind of kindness.

@joshandjamesvosperfromhere6887 Год назад

Awesome video, I love this part in Canada! We traveled part of this stretch in 2020!

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

It's a lovely stretch for sure and relatively safe.

@lecoyote3438 Год назад

Merci beaucoup 👍😉❤️

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Likewise! Thanks for watching.

@adventureswithcrohns9778 Год назад

How about that Bow Valley Parkway eh?!! I love it and can't wait to ride it again this summer!

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

You're lucky to live close-ish by. I really enjoyed that route. It was a great segue to the Icefields Parkway.

@OurRetiredLife Год назад

If only you could have ridden on a separate bike track everywhere! We ran into the Hoodoos by accident as well :)

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Yes! That would be ideal, wouldn't it?! The hoodoos were such a joy to discover. Completely unexpected and so stunning. The video of course didn't capture it.

@chrisconnors7418 Год назад

Chaplin Lake salt flat tour in SK was pretty interesting. Got to see rare birds (Piping Plover) and some strange looking long-legged birds (avocets and stilts). The baby plovers we’re running around our feet. Cute little balls of fluff.

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Never heard of it! Another unique place to visit from how you describe it.

@chrisconnors7418 Год назад

@@WheelsonaBike Even along the highway, it looks like a field of snow. In places a small stream cuts through the salt making salt "canyons" 3 to 5 feet deep. Kinda weird as you expect it to be chilly like a snow canyon yet it's blazing hot.

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Which highway are you referencing? Hwy 1? I just checked the map and the lake is not too far off from hwy 1 - maybe the only time I wish I had ridden on hwy 1.

@chrisconnors7418 Год назад

@@WheelsonaBike Yes, highway 1. There's a few small streams that cross under the highway. When I went through with my dad we saw a sign for touring the salt flats. The salt and mineral mining operation have some of their people drive a small touring bus/van with wide open windows into the heart of the salt flats. It's an important birding area (IBA), which is an internationally recognized designation. I forget how much it was for each of us to tour, but I remember it being a good deal. My dad isn't that interested in birds, but he thoroughly enjoyed the tour; and even he was interested in the "funny" looking birds and took quite a few pictures of them. The mining and mineral company regulated the water levels so birds would have the proper amount of water for nesting/feeding regardless of whether it was a dry season or wet season. If I'm back that way again I hope they're still running tours. I have a better camera now and would get some great pictures.

@ThalassTKynn Год назад

I wish they had the separated trails on all the highways.

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Yes! That would be wonderful.

@Self_Proppelled Год назад

Wow that looks like some fine riding. The cycling infrastructure and the beautiful scenery together looks like heaven. Even the electric fences to give you security while sleeping. Fantastic!

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

The fences made me feel a bit odd. I didn't see any wildlife in Lake Louise. Maybe it was just the weather that kept all the animals away.

@welshbikepackingadventures Год назад

awesome adventure !

Thank you.

@mikebauer9948 Год назад

another good one. thanks! beautiful country and looks like attractive towns. was that an elk on that person's front yard?

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Yes! That was an elk, we have racoons in Toronto, in Banff they have elk. 😉

@mikebauer9948 Год назад

@@WheelsonaBike I am in central coastal NJ USA. We are overrun with deer in suburbia, but elk on the lawn is a whole 'nother level lol!

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

Deer are lovely as well. My parents see deer very occasionally and it's always a special sighting.

@maxliddell7943 3 месяца назад

i really love your videos , were do you keep your bikes when your traveling and staying over ?

@WheelsonaBike 3 месяца назад

Thank you for watching. I'm not clear on what you're asking. What so you mean by where do I keep my bike when traveling? I was riding my bike, so the bike was with me. When staying over? The bike was with me as well. If you could clarify, I'll be able to provide a better answer. In Banff, I had the bike serviced when I took time off, so the bike was at the mechanic's. If that wasn't the case, I would've taken the bike with me.

@george40ish Месяц назад

What are you using to hold your 360 camera to the front of your bike

@WheelsonaBike Месяц назад

A Ram mount clamp.

@arcoulant87 Год назад

Hi, I was in Banff for the summer visiting our daughter and rode on that road the same day and must have passed you! ,at 2 min 19 sec on this video the bloke on the bike with a trailer was Rob he was going to BC to bug out he asked if Europe had been nuked (I live in France) he had a cat in a basket on the front ,a canvas tent with a steel log burner and a weeks worth of food it takes all sorts he was out there so to speak.

@WheelsonaBike Год назад

What a small world! I do remember passing the man with the cat. Someone else had pointed him out before I rode by him. 😉
