That's a good word for the Canadian Rockies! Revising this journal for Cycleblaze made me think I should maybe go again this year but the logistic problems are even worse as I doubt the hostels would be open. One would have to carry camping gear plus all food for several days. I might try to go the way the Anderson's did a couple of years ago--car-based with day rides.

Thanks Jacquie - I was rather overwhelmed by that photo and couldn't think of anything more articulate to say! Indeed the logistics of getting anywhere far from home have made touring anywhere exotic pretty much impossible this summer, so I'm stuck in Southern England - which is very nice and all - but then you see a photo like this and are reminded of the real sublime!
