yes, people were diverted off of highway 1 through Morley over to the 1a. i was lucky and took the 1x over to the 1a. by the time we got to the 1a-AB133X intersection, there was an RCMP officer there directing traffic. my friends were in the lineup of traffic that was diverted through Morley as well.

Yah so they were standing along AB133X throwing rocks and holding up traffic? That's a provincial road.

My favorite stretch of road growing up. Loved it because of the lack of cops haha. It's like the section of Nürburgring after the carousel right in our backyards.

Have been thinking about making this drive, is it still okay to do? I usually do 1A between Banff and Lake Louise, but never driven 1A from Calgary to anything past Cochrane.

I've never had a problem on that road before between cochrane and canmore, fun stretch of road to drive!
I guess just do it on a day the #1 is flowing smoothly

Haven’t been on it for nearly a decade. It was starting to fall apart with random deadly potholes last time I was on it.

Assuming road is still in decent shape, my advice is to ensure you have solid brakes and tires for the conditions, and leave room for margin of error. There are a lot of blind corners, and I’ve encountered random cows in the worst spots that’s really tested my brakes, reaction time, and car control. By my last runs, I actually ran it with my helmet on just in case in my later years.

Also, don’t go when there’s traffic. Early early morning is the best time, but it’s slippery. Night time is downright suicidal, but if you have the balls, by all means it’s quite an experience. I’m glad I’ve done it a couple times, but that was when I was young and stupid. I wouldn’t even think of attempting that again.

I don't think I've been on that road since you drove civic through there!

We did that road with 2 C63s, an ISF, a BMW shoe and a JB Weld ghetto turbo S2000 with a Zip tie on board camera. haha

I believe that drive was the closest I’ve come to death on the 1A. Wouldn’t even had the chance to feel guilty taking you out with me.

Still no clue how we survived that day and kept the car on the road.

I have never driven it quite that fast. I did it a couple of times in my old V12 Jag and definitely "bent" the speed laws, but that's not really a sports car. Now-a-days, I just drive about 100kph and enjoy the scenerey and cheat the corners.

Yeah, 1A is fine, just potholes. The smaller gravel local roads through the reserve are not.

The section between Ghost and Banff is where I used to take my Mustang to cane on it. Last time I was thru there I rounded one of those blind corners and there was an RCMP waiting. I blamed it on the other 7500RPM notchback "back there a couple kms"

Glad I chose to drive back from Canmore Sunday night rather than the next day... I knew a few people who decided to just stay and drive into work first thing this AM.

I drove back from Windermere Tuesday morning. It was easy peasy.

Multi vehicle incident at field BC too. Both directions closed, I'm stuck trying to get east.

That was a close one! You just missed the accident by 32 days! You could've been killed!

I assume he was referring to the incident that occurred yesterday where a tourist was shot in the head by a passing car......
