Assembling in the Blackfoot Casino Parking Lot

In traffic on Southland Drive

Autumn colours on Highway 22X

Organizing and gas stop at Longview

From Longview into the Highwood Pass.

Some people, like this Foothills cowboy, had to work on Saturday.

A quick stop for a poker card at a crowded Ptarmigan Cirque at the top
of Highwood Pass, the highest drivable in Canada at 7,239 feet.

Like a deer in the headlights, Karl gets caught in the camera lens.

Exiting Ptarmigan Cirque, two mountain sheep rams
had some different ideas about how traffic should move.

Kananaskis Valley at the north end of Peter Lougheed Provincial Park

Fortress Junction below the imposing Opal Range. End of the poker run
- the result? The owner of that Drifter there got enough gas money
to get himself through the week.

Spectacular Mount Kidd on the left with Mount Lorette straight ahead.

One last stop, at Tim Horton's Children's Ranch for a photo session.

Twenty one bikes made the run, 19 stayed to pose.
