**Official**Mazda in the Mountains 2005

Hello all, this is the official MITM 2005 thread. We checked out Lake Louise again this past weekend and it was PACKED! No parking spots available and the whole lot was full. Park officials were also checking for parking passes before entrance. So this year we've ruled out Louise.

In turn, we found a nice Day Use area in the Bow Valley Provincial Park. Lot will hold about 30 cars or maybe more. There are 3 fire pits, some picnic tables. It's right by the Bow River and facing Mt. Yamnuska. After hanging out and eating..we can all go for a cruise and take pictures. It is about 20 minutes from Highway 40 (Kananaskis Trail)

What to bring: food, radios, cameras, video cameras, friends, NO ALCOHOL

Meet at Canada Olympic Park 1PM
Leave COP 1:45PM
Arrive at Bow Valley around 2:30-2:45PM (hang out)
Cruise optional - I would say this starts around 4PM to whenever we get home.

PS: No out of hand speeding. Please behave and we don't wanna get in trouble. Thanks for your co-operation

EDIT: I think that day's right, but it seems the website has old info if Lake Louise is no longer the plan...I dunno...

Oh yeah we were taking up both lanes when someone from the back mentioned that there were some bikes we should let pass. We all just ignored it...but later the same guy really thought we should let them through....turns out by bikes he meant 15 Hells Angles on bikes!

We headed towards Banff and stopped in the Bow Valley Provincial camp ground for lunch. I had to leave early but many were going to go and do a run up the road to Mt. Norquay.
