Places To Ride In Alberta

Hi, another albertan here. Where abouts do you live? There are a few good places I know of to ride. Brule by Hinton is one of the best that I can think of for our quad. The sand along the Athabasca river is sweet. I went riding in Nordegg (about 1 hour southwest of Rocky Mountain House) a few weeks ago and although its really nice out there it really isn't suited to the LTR. Too much muskeg and shale rock and stuff.
I live in Edmonton and there's a couple of places nearby that are not too bad. Enoch Indian reserve is one. Drive southbound on 215 street South of the Whitemud. It'll be on your right hand side. Ya gotta open a gate but there's a few neat little dustbowls. Also there is a track at the Budweiser motorsports park that is open tues and thur for open riding I believe. I haven't actually been there though.
Vinca bridge is another place that's not too bad. It's about 45mins from Edmonton by Fort Saskatchewan. Nice hills and trails there. I can't remember the exact directions there though.

Hey AJW,
Sounds like you've found some decent riding areas. I'm from Southern Alberta (Lethbridge Area). There are a few places to ride locally down here (River bottoms, Coulees, Tracks, etc.) My favorite place to ride is in the Crowsnest Pass (Great Trail Riding). Although, I hear there is some awesome riding in the Rocky Mountain House area. Hopefully I'll get to take a trip up there sometime. Also, I my sister lives in Hinton so I might take a trip up there to do some sand riding.

what is it is it a track or a sand pit or what?
I've been to Vega. It's a huge riding area with tonnes of trails and cut lines. When I was there I was riding a dirtbike and I seem to remember there being both tight technical trails as well as ones that were wider and you can just blast down (excellent for our quad). I'll have to take a trip up there again. I think it's about 3 hours from Edmonton. 1 1/2 NW of westlock. Exact directions I can't remember. It's just by the hamlet of Vega. It should be easy to find.

It's in Southwestern Alberta along the BC/Alberta border (Crowsnest Pass). This is by far my favorite place to ride.
I would have toke more pictures, but I usually don't stop long enough to get the camera out. It's a huge riding area with trails in both Alberta and BC. My favorite ride there finishes atop two mountain peeks, were an old WWII bomber plane crashed. Most of the plane still remains there.Next weekend is Thunder in the Valley, which is includes the best fireworks show in Western Canada.
