Thanks for the information.  I am really looking at riding out west this coming Summer and doing a little bit of Sturgis on the way home.  We have rode a lot of WY and CO and SD on previous trips and only a little of MT.  We have talked about riding to Glacier several times and that area, I love the rockies, and they are so much better on a bike.

One thing is for certain... Once you ride through Glacier you won't stop talking about it!

I'll be back there in July 2015 and so looking forward to riding the Going To The Sun Hwy. once again.

Enjoy your trip and ride safe.

We are going back that way this summer. Gonna start & end a 7 day trip thru the Canadian Rockies in Columbia Falls, Mt. On the last day gonna ride the GTSR W to E and rather than drop down to Hwy 2 for the E to W trip, we're gonna u-turn at the gate and ride it back E to W. That's how great it is!!!!

I have drove through Glacier on Going to The Sun hwy.  Loved it so I am sure it is much better on a bike, just as Beartooth pass was, the band lands were and so on.

Trip routing tip for 2K... When you're in the BC Rockies I suggest you plan to ride Trans Canada Hwy between Spences Bridge and Hope through the Fraser River Valley.  Without a doubt, after riding through all 10 Provinces and all 48 lower States on amazingly scenic roads, the road through Fraser River Valley still ranks as my #1 all-time favourite to ride. 

 

I haven't ridden it since 2004, but I imagine it is every bit as gorgeous as I remember it.  Looking forward to riding it again in July 2015.


Ride safe!

Here's one I could quickly find... Not the best, but will give you an idea how beautiful it is there with miles and miles of running beside the Fraser River, between two mountain ranges with train tracks and tunnels along both sides.

Around every corner was a new postcard view!

One more just near where we headed south along the Trans Canada Hwy.

Thanks for the tip Griz, also you just ruined a well planned trip  Just Rubbin, gonna have to reroute bout 150 miles to include that section. Without question, we gonna do it, most likely the last trip to that area and when someone FROM Canada says that is the BEST we have.......only a fool don't listen. THANKS!!!

You must have road through Cache Creek and 100 Mile House? Spent time all around that territory some years back.
Postcard views for sure.

I've seen the tower a few times in this thread but figured I'd post mine maybe from a different angle. Didn't look at all 72 pages, maybe someone else has done the same location. Now that I think of it, I met the CVO gang at a Mexican restaurant in Spearfish later that night. Was trying to meet them at the tower but man WY is a big state. Great times but I haven't been very diligent in staying in touch. If you guys are reading this, thanks for the awesome time.

Glad to assist 2K... I can say with confidence that you definitely won't be disappointed with the ride through Fraser River Valley.

Just to clarify, it is not only "the BEST we have", it is the BEST ride I've enjoyed throughout ALL our travels in all 10 Provinces and 48 lower States.  We seen some amazing scenery in our travels for sure, but my personal favourite ride (so far in 30+ years of touring) is from Spences Bridge south to Hope, BC.  BTW, the wife's favourite ride is US 1 from Monterey to San Simeon, which is most likely due to her love of the sea with her being from England.

Fraser River Valley is certainly worth the extra effort in re-routing, and what's 150 miles between friends?

Enjoy and ride safe,
Grizzly

PS - Now talking about it, I can hardly wait for July 2015... Can't come fast enough.

You must have road through Cash Creek and 100 Mile House? Spent time all around that territory some years back.
Postcard views for sure.

Unfortunately we didn't get up that far north... Came from Kelowna to Spences Bridge and then south to Hope, BC.  However next time in July 2015 we will be going north through the Fraser River Valley and will be sure to take that beautiful area in as well.
