Rally Point Details:

This 4 day trip will take us through a portion of the western side of the Canadian Rockies in British Columbia before crossing over and through Banff, and on to the Ghost River Road in Alberta on the Eastern side of the Canadian Rockies. Well then head through the spray wilderness and down the forestry trunk road on the western Alberta side of the Rockies where will camp one last night and then make our way back to Coeur d'Alene via dirt and pavement.

Terrain=mostly pavement but a lot of dirt, and some rock, but we could see any mixture of terrain to include mud, snow and ice. Please be prepared
