Sitting around during the Jays game I decided on some take out. Well,I ended up doing a little bit of the planned cruise and took some mileage notes instead. Anyway,this is what I’ve noted down. I only went as far as the Kananaskis travel centre/Stoney Nakoda casino. From there to Highwood pass is approx 80 kms.
From the departure point at Bowfort road McDonald’s/Petro Canada to the Morley turnoff is 46.4 kms
From the Morley turnoff to the 1A is 3.5 kms.
From the 1A to the 1X is 21 kms.
From the 1X to the Casino is 5.0 kms.
As we leave Calgary,not 10 seconds into the journey we’ll be blessed with a splendid view of the Nenshi Towers. Feel free to take your own picture as I’ve yet to see a postcard showing this bit of “money well spent”. It really is something that you’ll scratch your head over. This is on the return trip. Our meeting place is in the background.

Here’s a little teaser on the 1A from an old long since torn down gas station to just about the turnoff for the 1X.
