Beautiful drive. The only thing that creeped me out (when we drove it in a car) was that it's almost all out in the woods where there is no sign of human habitation -- no driveways, no mailboxes, no cabins or shacks with supper-fire smoke, no graveyards, no village post-offices with flags fluttering in the breeze, no cenotaphs with an old Sherman tank or a muzzle-loading cannon in front of the memorial, just mile after mile of perfectly (but monotonously) engineered road curving away up and down the mountainsides. Dunno...out west on the Icefield Parkway that seems to work. In the East it was a little other-worldly. A friend of mine does it every couple of years with a group that drives all the way down from Toronto, so it obviously does have great appeal. Do let us know how you like it, Robbie.
