Hummingbird Trail

The Onion Lake, Hummingbird and Canary Creek trails form a 45 km loop through the wilderness. I took my Chinese made Pitster 250cc along with a few KTM, Yamaha and Honda bikes on the loop. I dropped it once but there are a few gnarly hill climbs and deep ATV ruts, so all the bikes went down at one place or another - most more than once. The little 250cc came through with flying colours!

Yes. Alberta, Canada. West of Rocky Mountain House in the foothills of the Rockies. And yes that was snow is a couple of pictures even though it hit 34C (93F) down in the valley.

It sure is. The famous Icefields Parkway between Lake Louise and Jasper is just over the ridge to the west.

I love the David Thompson area; I miss camping there.

Awesome scenery! I saw some Alberta Dual Sport stickers, were some of the riders members?
Definitely good terrain to test the knobbies!

Had my last ride on the XTR a couple of days ago. After half a dozen rides this spring it's gone to live with some new owners. Kinda sad really but I do have two other bikes and a quad.

It's been a good machine.
