Nordegg area?

jay_boom · Jan 3, 2008

Does anyone ride in the Nordegg area, I moved to Red Deer a few years ago from BC and am looking for somewhere a little closer than Golden , Revy and Valemont to go for day rides. I have heard of some decent alpine riding but it was just a quick chat with some random guy. Any info would be awsome thanks.

Drive through there all the time family lives in sylvan lake i live outside Vancouver, Glacier national park gets a ton of snow not sure if you can ride there because its a park, you could check to see might have some riding areas out there that are ok. Or just ride the outside edge of the park, but for some reason they get way way more snow then rocky or nordegg.

Hasnt been enough snow in that area to safely ride for alot of years now. Lots of great riding just no snow.

Is there a map of this area.... it sounds nice and close to home.

I heard Onion Lake is good too, i am also looking for some good day trips west of Rocky. If any one has a decent map of these areas it would be appreciated.

You can pick up a map free at the gas stations in Rocky, I seen them there not to long ago.
This link is to the snow conditions in the area http://www.whereadventurebegins.com/snow-conditions.htm
We tried to get into the sugar bowl a few years back but ended up busting a few trailing arms on the way in and had to turn back, I would guess late season would be your only chance for good riding out there. Or just drive another two hours and your in Golden.

You mean Mount. Landslide????

It very well could be, all I remember is that I was shocked cuz it was mountain riding in Alberta in September.

limestone is west of Sundre but still in the foothills, can usually Quad year round there.

Rode Rangers Creek last year late in January....... No snow on the trail, and had to ride frozen river for a while, but when we got to the back and climed out of the valley up into the hills it was awsome! I've heard Oinion lake isn't guite as challenging as rangers though.... make sure you know the trail good because it isn't too clear in a few places which way the trail goes....

When we get some snow I'm going to try Scalpcreek sledding area (borders Banff National Park)...also going to try the sugar bowl this year.... apparently you get up pretty high above the tree line in both these places.... riding should be awsome once we get some snow.....

Found some pretty detailed maps off the internet,
