Maybe we would change your mind..... haha
I will wait and see what Paul says. if you guys are only going as far as Hinton for the first day then maybe I will decide if I should leave Sunday am and do a day trip. As you probably won't be in the mountains till Sunday 10 or 11 am so kinda more like a day trip, then a 2 day trip.
I see Paul you posted head west of Rocky and then decide which way to go at Sask crossing.
I thought we would be at Sask crossing by maybe1pm area and that would mean a afternoon in the mountains and then next day too. I liked that
- Assemble in Red Deer @ a location to be named
- Travel to Rocky Mountain House at Timmies and have more people join us.
- Travel west and a few stops planned for photos, visiting, etc.
- Arrive @ Saskatchewan Crossing for late lunch @ the Parkway Pub.
- Travel back or head north to Jasper or south towards Lake Louise.

I just called Sask crossing..... they have 6 double queen rooms left and a few bigger rooms. It takes a min of 8 rooms to get a price break. $173 is the cheapest room. $193 with taxes
The pub is not open till 5pm to see if they would have the UFC fight on.

Yes, gondola, Pryamid lake just north of Jasper is nice to see and a nice short drive, the skywalk not seen and been a long time since been to Columbia Icefields... it there still ice left or has global warming taken it
Miett Hot Springs too, I have never been there I think. Might still be Mustang ( horseback ) rides near Jasper. Probably more.

talked to the bar. he said they have never bought it in the bar before. He said some staff have their own satellite and do buy it to watch in their own cabins.
He said he is not sure what the cost would be and if the satellite they have there would have tavern fees or personal fees/costs for a private person.
He said if we do decide to stay there to talk to a Carson at The Crossing and see if he could make something work.
See what Paul says.
I asked if they had high speed internet as I have a slingbox that I can send my home satellite to anywhere I am but takes lots of bandwidth

Hi Everyone. Had to be offline for a bit sorry. I opened the plan and then based on accomodation, UFC and distances put the route together to travel west of Rocky then turn north ending up in Hinton. the Sunchild Road is a scenic drive an popular with the bike crowd. We can turn this around pretty quickly. The big things here are:
1. cruising
2. mountains
so based on this Lets' just go to Saskatchewan crossing Saturday and possibly head a bit south coming back to Saskatchewan crossing. Brian since you have talked to the Crossing can you let then know we are planning it? Everyone use the cruise name of 2016 Corvette Cruise when booking. I tried to update the map from my phone and messed it up.
Verdict is we head to sask crossing and stay over. Everyone book your room!

jo and I are booked!
The skywalk sounds awesome. So I'm confused....are we going to Jasper?

Ya, you have to fill at Rocky Mountain House.
If we head to Lake Louise there is a Husky there that I think has 94
OK,,,, just called that Husky,. guy said he has 94 fuel
Paul said in a recent post do stuff around sask crossing
The icefields, the glacier walk, Lake Louise and Morraine lake would be 4 things near to do.. parking sucks at Morraine but maybe they would let the corvettes park along the edge near lake and porta potties for an hour or two if a park worker was there when we arrive... if we head there.
now, if we do Morraine lake it would be better to get there by 10 am Sunday... parking is better before 10 or 11 am... the view is amazing.....
We could maybe have lunch Sat at Sask crossing, maybe do the icefields and the walk Sat afternoon and Sunday am maybe head to Morriane lake first and then Lake Louise and then gas up.
Now, if you fill at Rocky Mountain house you should still have 3/4 of a tank when we get to Sask crossing.... the icefields is 50 km away and then LL is 50-80 away the other way...
Booking now..... will have an extra bed if someone needs it... Don?
Adding in the remarks..... part of the Corvette group......
Damn, cancellation sucks...... guess no backing out. LOL
Your reservation request has been received
You will be contacted by email within 1 business day to confirm your request.

not sure... Paul will probably do some thinking now on what to do.
Another idea could be to do Lake Louise Saturday afternoon and take another group shot at Bow Lake again and then Sunday am head to the icefields and walk and then maybe on to Jasper.

this is close to Sask crossing. never seen it
Google Maps
Never been to Peyto Lake before....... lots to do around Sask Crossing.
Now to decide if I should bring the ZR1 or the SUV haha
No drones allowed in the park so no point bringing that.....

ok, I've updated the map. please go the following link. Based on the votes i still have it planned to go to Jasper on sunday morning.
July 9/10 Cruise
once you have google map open, click the three bars in the upper left. This opens the list of key locations.
Now is you click on the three dots to the right of the July 9/10 cruise that is right above the list of location. Choose Step-by-step-directions. This will show you the distances abd times between points. Disregard the first few as the map decided to route me through a subdivision in Red Deer. Sheesh!
The way I see it the times will be:
- 1 hour to Rocky Mountain House
- 1/2 hour, coffee, meet additional members, fuel and leave.
- 1 hour to Nordegg
- 1/2 yo 3/4 hour for stops.
- 1 hour to Saskatchewan Crossing
Total time 4.5 hours. If we leave at 8:30 this gets us to the Crossing at 1:00 pm. We have lunch then head south for a cruise and sight seeing. Make it back to the crossing for supper and hopefully UFC.
Next morning breakfast and we leave for the Columbia Icefields Discovery Center. Based on the vote this is the rute I've planned. If a group wants to break away and head south that works too.
- 1 hour, Columbia Icefields Discovery Center. This is the location to take the bus up to the Glacier Walkway. (There is no parking at the walkway)
- 2 hours spent here.
- 1 1/2 hours to Jasper
- looking for things to do in Jasper. One idea is to hit the SkyTram and go to the top of the mountain. Spend some time in Japser and probably do lunch if everyone wants to.
- 1 hour to Hinton. Fuel
- 1 hour to Edson.
- 1 hour to Jct Hwy 16 and Hwy 753
This is th elocation that people can choos to trael east to Edmonton or continue south.
- 1 hour to Lodgepole. This is a beautiful road and quiet. The first section is straight
- 1 hour 22 minutes to Rocky Mountain House. We turn off towards the Brazeau Dam the curves and hills begin. It brings us back to Hwy 11, west of Rocky Mountain House.
- Once in Rocky we can travel on Hwy 11 or Hwy 12 east to get back to central Alberta.
This is the Plan and we will play it by ear once we are on the road.

The bar will be open Saturday afternoon, we can ask then ( when we have lunch ) who might be watching UFC. They had mentioned that maybe we could watch it in the cabin that might have it on. Meaning some staff members of The Crossing.

Sounds good Brian Jeremaid said he was bringing his andriod box as long as we have intenet. For rooms it's 10 bucks
