- I think that maybe you should call an organization named Bikecentennial
- that is headquartered in Missoula Montana. They have the BEST maps that
- a bicycle tourist could possibly want. Guess what?! They have the exact
- two maps that you are looking for!
-
- Call them at 1-800-933-1116 and ask for the Complete Great Parks North
- Route set of 2 maps. This is item number BC-121 and cost to members is
- $8.95 and cost to non-members is $10.95. Here's the verbal description
- that they give about this route:
-
- Great Parks North Bicycle Route (750 miles)
- Discover the splendor of the northern Rockies. This popular two-section
- Bikecentennial route guides you from Missoula, Montana to Jasper, Alberta
- in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. You'll pass through five national
- parks: Glacier, Waterton, Kootenai, Banff, and Jasper.
-
- Sounds like a great ride! Let us know how you like it!
