Canadian Rockies Ride

Ever dreamt about riding your Harley through the Canadian Rockies? Well here is the opportunity. Join us this summer as we head through Eastern Washington, up Lolo Pass, through Glacier National Park, across the 50th Parallel in to Canada and up, over, and down the beautiful Canadian Rockies. This trip is from Aug 12-20th, 2023 and has been on nearly everyone’s motorcycle trip bucket lists. Half way through the trip we will be staying two nights in Banff to explore and take a break. We will also be doing a Glacier tour on the mighty Athabasca Glacier. On the way home we will be having our last stay at Harrison Hot Springs Resort to soak our weary bones before heading home.

Canada has pulled back on vaccination passports so that’s good news. Here is the bad news, if you have a felony on your record you will not be allowed in to Canada. That includes a DUI. It is not a felony in the US, but it is in Canada. If you have questions on your status I would try and contact the Canadian Customs Office and determine if you are able to visit Canada. You will need an enhanced drivers license, passport, or citizenship papers to get into Canada.

DO NOT BRING ANY WEAPONS ACROSS THE BORDER! THIS INCLUDES POCKET KNIVES, BOX CUTTERS OR GUNS!
