With the help of some of our Canadian members we are happy to announce our first "Ride to Jasper". If you've never been to the Rockies in Alberta, you have missed one of the most spectacular areas to ride in North America. If you have been before, we know you want to return. Banff and Jasper are two picturesque mountain towns, bookending the Icefields Parkway. This highway heading north from Lake Louise, through Banff and Jasper National Parks to the town of Jasper, covers about 150 miles of majestic mountains, shimmering rivers, turquoise lakes and abundant wildlife.

This is not a rally, there are no tickets to buy. Just make your reservations, plan your route and get together with some friends in one of the most beautiful motorcycle destinations in the world. While this ride is being promoted through BMWLT.com, we don't care what you ride, all makes and models are equally welcome. This is an opportunity to see some of the best the Canadian Rockies have to offer, on two wheels as it was meant to be.

The destination for this ride is the beautiful Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, in Jasper, AB, Canada. This beautiful property, at the north end of the stunning Icefields Parkway, overlooking Lac Beauvert really puts the Luxury in Luxury Touring. With abundant dining, beautiful rooms and impeccable service, this is a true resort location.

We are planning this gathering on a Tuesday through Friday format. We have planned a group dinner on Friday. You can sign up for that dinner on our activities page. Be sure and check that page as we get closer to see if we plan any other meals or activities. Beyond that we hope that many of you will make plans with new friends or old for day trips to some of the sights in the areas. Many of the recommendations we have listed are too far for a day ride from Jasper, but deserve consideration on your way to Jasper or on your way home. For day trips from Jasper, check our rides page.

Traveling through the National Parks of Canada require daily or annual passes. Check here for park entry pass information.

If you want to join us, but do not have the time to ride up, you can fly into Calgary. There are a couple of places offering motorcycle rentals.
