Not sure what freaks me out more, cars zipping around the bends or bears jumping out of the bushes!  I have reached out to a couple of Strava clubs and will be contacting a couple of shops up there as well. Hoping to do at least 2 rides that weekend. I was up there a couple of weeks back, and the ride to Athabasca falls is very nice, Miette Hot Springs would be another possibility.

The cars should freak you out. Bears while road riding just aren’t really a concern. If there are roadside bears there will be a traffic Jam.
