They have just completed paving that road, so when they close it at the end of this month, it will present great biking until the snow flies (usually late Oct for that area). I know I will be there every chance I get, so maybe I will meet her. It's interesting, for some reason they did not repave the switchback section. I suspect it's an engineering challenge they couldn't afford to fund, but there's sure a lot ot potholes left from falling rocks coming off the cliffs above them. I think someday someone is going to get 'beaned' by a rock on those switchbacks, and I hop it is not me or my family on our bikes.TomSellershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00486838110695058309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7226837123536034405.post-18963839038317854052009-06-24T20:32:15.503-05:002009-06-24T20:32:15.503-05:00thanks for the comment.

Always appreciate corrections as I do try to be as accurate as I can be. <br /><br />My friend Laurel works in the National Park of Yoho, not Lake Louis.doug palosaarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06788577431487694015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7226837123536034405.post-84789393208011634822009-06-23T02:35:36.229-05:002009-06-23T02:35:36.229-05:00Hi Doug,
Great that you had such positive impress...Hi Doug,<br /><br />Great that you had such positive impressions of BNP.<br /><br />Just a couple of small corrections, but significant for the locals. There are no 'Rangers' in the Canadian National Park system. There are Park Wardens. At the moment there are two female Wardens posted in Lake Louise and they are Tanya and Sarah. Perhaps your firend Laurel works at the Visitor Information Center?<br /><br />Oh, the Railroad past there is 'Canadian Pacific Railroad'. You may have been thinking of the Highway, which is the 'Trans Canada Highway'.<br /><br />The Tak Falls road has now opened and the campground there as well.John Knoreply@blogger.com
