Kayaking on Burnstick Lake near Caroline. Burnstick Lake is a nice spot for fishing, kayaking, camping, and is almost next door to the Clearwater Trails Initiative OHV trails. It is also just a short drive to the Clearwater River or the Ya Ha Tinda area.

Burnstick Lake is southwest of Caroline in Clearwater County, a lovely part of David Thompson Country. #DTCountry

The David Thompson Corridor Clean Up is taking place on July 5th. We’re meeting at Windy Point at 10 am. From there we will split up to clean up popular areas until about 12:30 pm to meet up again at Windy Point for the participation draw and snacks!
If you are free to come, please do! It’s so important to care for the places we love. If you can’t come, please share the event. Please bring your own gloves (gardening gloves will be best as plastic ones will probably rip), a mask if you like and remember to practice physical distancing. We will supply bags. If you have a truck to carry garbage in we would really appreciate if you brought it!
We’ve had some amazing prizes donated by @trailheadclimbingandfitness, @sattvaclimbing, @valhallapure.reddeer, @alloutkids, @arcteryxcalgary, @arcteryxwestedmonton and @dosecoffeeco
I’m so grateful to be part of this with @andrewtheabel and am so stoked to see you all out there! If you have any questions, please reach out.

The Tuff Puff hike is a steep long climb of about 15 kms round trip and can easily take over 5 hours. Rated moderate to difficult, it is a fantastic hike for pictures. Looking down you can see the North Saskatchewan River valley before it becomes Abraham Lake.

The Tuff Puff trailhead is the same as the Kinglet Lake Trailhead, just a couple of kms west of Siffleur Falls on the north side of the David Thompson Highway, ~ 67 kms west of Nordegg in Clearwater County, part of the David Thompson Country Tourism Region. #DTCountry
For those looking for services, Nordegg has 2 gas stations, restaurants, a hotel and many cabins or lodges to rent.

The David Thompson Highway running from Rocky Moun

The David Thompson Highway running from Rocky Mountain House to the Saskatchewan River Crossing in Banff National Park was officially opened in 1975. Before then goods were primarily shipped to Nordegg via rail and trips to the National Park were done at the travelers’ risk. Ernie Ross was the Ford Dealership owner in Rocky Mountain House and did the first car trip from Rocky Mountain House to Nordegg in 1928 in 3.5 days. He and other volunteers spent the next several years building bridges over streams and rivers to make the trip smoother.
In the 1930s he and others formed a Trail Blazers Group to prove that a car trip from Rocky Mountain House to the Saskatchewan River Crossing was possible. In 1940 they headed all the way to the National Park. Past Nordegg they often had to use a block and tackle to pull the truck up and over hill and rocks. It took 5 days to go from Windy Point to the Saskatchewan River Crossing. They returned via Banff and Calgary on regular roads to a celebration hosted by the Rocky Mountain House Board of Trade, what was the Chamber of Commerce at the time. Mount Ernest Ross was named in his honor in 1980.

The Government of Alberta surveyed the highway in 1968 and then started construction with the official opening in 1975. Highway 11 was named the David Thompson Highway in honor of the Canadian Explorer who worked out of Rocky Mountain House as he scouted out and charted trade routes west along the passes that the highway now uses.

The David Thompson Highway starts just west of Stettler and runs through Red Deer, by Sylvan Lake, through Rocky Mountain House, all the way past Nordegg and Abraham lake until it ends in the Banff National Park. We think it is one of the most beautiful drives around and is an inspiring part of the David Thompson Country Tourism Region. #DTCountry .
