In this video I take you through MY TOP 5 Roads to ride a Motorcycle in and around Southern Alberta, Canada. I have spent many an hour riding these roads and it was tough to come up with just 5. @harleydavidson @HarleyDavidsonCanada
This is MY TOP 5 (based on where I live), and I am sure there are other roads in this area and beyond that I have not yet ridden that would make your top 5. Please let me know what your top 5 are and if any of these amazing roads make your list.
Enjoy!

I’ve done three of your trips. I must say when I did The Road to the Sun it was bumper to bumper. You can’t stop and you can’t take your eyes off the vehicle in front of you. You miss a lot
Oh I know. But if you go towards the end of the season it’s more or less empty. Thanks for watching.
I get everyone has different tastes... but i was suprised to see that a ride through the badlands wasn't on your list... from big stone up 837 to big valley makes for an awesome day. 100% in alberta, 100% free, epic scenery, awesome ride, lots of stops with tons of history. (Royal teryl muesum, atlas #3 cole mine, bufflo jump,
And this is why I said please tell me your favourite roads to ride, I have to now check this one out next season in its entirety. Thanks for the info. ✌️🇨🇦
Great work as always buddy
Appreciate it mate, thank you ✌️
Amazing content and so informative. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much mate. Really appreciate comments like this. ✌️
@@TheMilitaryBiker made sure we were all subb'ed to ensure you hit your target.
Great video - having ridden them all too all 5 are amazing
Cheers Pete. Hopefully we can ride these together next season
Thanks Steve will definitely document these rides for when we come to Alberta. Thanks Dave
Cheers Dave!
All these roads are great rides, thanks for posting your rides. Cheers mate.
My pleasure, thanks for watching

Cheers

Cheers Phil, replied to you on messenger
When I saw your ‘number three’ I thought how can this be beaten… then I saw the top two, WOW!! ✌️
Yep! Thanks for watching mate, glad you enjoyed it.
Great video! Thanks! You might add a #6 too. The short ride from Rocky Mountain House via the Saskatchewan Crossing has some spectacular scenery also!
Thanks for the info! I will be sure to check it out this year! Thanks for watching.
Amazing video!! We love riding scenic roads! We've never been to Canada but looks like we need to visit. Glacier NP is on our bucket list.
Hey man, long time no see! Glad you enjoyed the video, yeah you definitely need to visit, some of the best roads in the world to ride. Thanks for watching mate. ✌️
@@TheMilitaryBiker it has definitely been a while! You know how it is, something or someone is always demanding your time.
Amazing Roads :O
100%! Thanks for watching.
Excellent,I’m planning my return from Ontario this June and will be including a few .
Fantastic! Thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing. I've been on some beautiful roads. It seems like Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, and especially South Dakota have really beautiful roads to ride. Alaska has very few roads but they're a lot to see.
The wife and I rode your number 5-2 this summer. We ride all those roads, 7 days total and about 3000km. We did spend an entire day in Waterton and we took Hwy 93 from Hwy 3 north through radium. I agree with your picks, amazing views.
Hey Thank you for watching and welcome to the Channel. I need to do that loop next season for sure. 👍🇨🇦
Ex pat myself, been riding all these roads since 95, probably done jasper n road to sun 10 times each. Knee dragging roads are all to the south, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California which I have frequently traveled also, thanks for the vid 🍻
Hi Mark, thanks for watching and for your comments. 👍🇬🇧🇨🇦
Although in an SUV in 2007 I drove from Alaska to Colorado when I PCS'd. I'm not exactly sure of the route but I tell everyone that is a drive everyone should make once in their lifetime. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching.
Those are all epic rides mate.
Cheers mate, you would know!
Nice to see the old bike in the footage! ✌️
Hah thanks for watching mate
Man you guys have some amazing roads pity they are only open half of the time. But hey that’s what you get to have them views. Awesome video Stevie 😎👍🏼
Yeah mate I am lucky to live in such a beautiful place. Thanks for watching buddy, hope your enjoying the start of your summer. ✌️🇦🇺
@@TheMilitaryBiker hasn’t started yet mate we are all still waiting 🤣😂
Nice scenery compared to Ontario, but damn the roads are straight compared to what I am used to riding on my tours. The last tour was nice with narrow roads and it would have been nice to stop at the highest pass that you mentioned.
Thanks for watching. If you would like to see the full video of the last one including the little stop at the top here is the link ua-cam.com/video/koXHi80LQng/v-deo.htmlsi=shZyrleaWNmwgbxk
killer video bro. we are gonna talk about this tonight on The VTwin Life podcast which you are the guest tonight
Thanks very much mate and he’ll yeah let’s do it!
Great selections - you need to go a bit further into BC, then up to Radium, then back via transcanada - that is a couple day trip.
I have ridden all but your number 1.
The great things when I try to tell people about the difference of central BC, and Alberta Rockies roads - as Vancouver Island, Cape Breton, and Ontario - all have great roads - BC and the Alberta Rockies just have soooo much more of them. Its a matter of scale.
I agree with @ddd7928 that the badlands is a good ride - 11 bridges road to the saloon is nice lunch stop. If you go into BC for a long trip - let me know - 99, 97, 12 are great runs that are must do - and anything with a 3 in front of it. Too bad 8 is gone, 5A is great.
I agree, many of these roads are best for cruisers/baggers - you need to take you time and enjoy the vistas. Trying to race it will be frustrating due to traffic, and you will miss so much.
I look forward to when you get out here to show you the 300 km, all day ride of the Cabot Trail.
Thanks for your comments mate, some of those roads will be on my list next year for sure! And you know I’ll hit up the Cabot Trail with you one day mate. Cheers Rob ✌️🇨🇦
Always love the scenery in Canada. One day
One day mate, ✌️🇦🇺
One day never comes. Just do it. We would love to have you.
at 6:12 that's highway 762. Highway 66 from Calgary Highway 22 is great too and Highway 546. There are many more around Calgary like Highway 549 and north of it. You can find nice roads there and you will be the only one driving or riding. Ride them before they become suburbs of Calgary.
Nope, highway 22 runs right through Longview, so 6:12 is actually 22 like I said. Thanks for the tips about the other roads to ride, appreciated. Thanks for watching ✌️🇨🇦
@@TheMilitaryBiker NO that's Highway 762. I grew up South of Calgary. I know the highways here.
@@TheMilitaryBiker I meant 5:12 not 6:12
@@mjor6406 me too bud. 👍
@@mjor6406you are indeed correct now that you have said 5:12.
My list and your list are different, but I've done 4/5 from your list so far and I can't disagree any of your choices. They're all amazing rides for sure. I finally got to check off the Lake Louise to Jasper part of highway 93 last summer. It really is amazing. I should have done that one sooner. Saskatchewan Crossing was packed full of all kinds of riders, all with epic grins on their faces. The south stretch of #93 to Radium is also a great ride and features much less traffic (unless hwy 1 is closed at Golden and then you're screwed).
Some others for you: any and every road that goes through Drumheller is a beauty, but best done in June or September when it's cooler (it gets hella haaaawt out that way in the summer). The #10 from Drum heading east to Dorothy is fun. Either Dinosaur Trail (north and/or south) heading west out of Drum is also fun. The Royal Tyrrell Museum is massive and absolutely worth a stop.
If you want a quiet, scenic, technical, crazy ride then Hwy 40 north (forestry trunk road) is a beauty. It starts a little west of Cochrane just off the 1A. It's a mixture of pavement and gravel. When it gets too sketchy for ya, just turn back. (It gets worse as you go). You'll meet a lot of dads out that way. Wear your gear. Bring a tow strap. Watch your gas. Pack a lunch.
From Medicine Hat head East and then south on highway 41, aka Buffalo Trail, to Elkwater (fully paved and maintained highway). Watch for wild turkey's crossing! :D That stretch alone is great, but you can continue on past Elkwater all the way to the border and have the highway pretty much all to yourself, but again, watch your gas. Those "No Service" signs don't lie. If you really want an adventure take the Eagle Butte road instead of 41. It's a patchwork of pavement and gravel that's maintained, but not well. Watch for potholes, dirt in the corners, and reptiles (snakes) sunning on the pavement at dusk and dawn. It's a hot ride in the summer. Stay hydrated and watch for random thunderstorms that pop up out of nowhere. There's some great camping to be found out that way too (hello Reesor Lake!). Take your fishing gear. Fort Walsh makes a nice side quest to Saskatchewan, especially on Canada Day.
Highway 1A from Calgary to Canmore is a nice way to spend a day. Watch for busses filling in potholes and wildlife crossing everywhere, especially in town. Stop in Cochrane for ice cream at MacKay's.
Thanks for the tips!
Ice fields Parkway is best in off season. Tourists are a hazard for sure. Highwood Pass may have animals on the road. Great 5.
Thank you for watching! ✌️
Outstanding list brother! You’re spot on with Going to the Sun Road in Glacier NP. I have to agree, the best ride in North America. Incredible rides all over, but this trail is the front steps to Heaven. Surreal, like no other.
Thanks for watching mate and for your comments, I like the “steps to heaven” comment.
@@TheMilitaryBiker Truth
Ok, so I see at least one ride that we can do together when I visit next year and some that we can ride when I finally make my way to Alaska (2024🤞?). Do they ever open the border crossing in Waterton International Peace Park?
Still shut unfortunately Des, no idea when that will re-open, shame because that side of the park is stunning.
@@TheMilitaryBiker ok, no worries, I will ride 89 to Hwy 2 to get to you.
well - one road on the way North, and another road on the way south - there are many options.
Stevie
Bolt!
