Overall the trails are pretty mild. A few good hill climbs along way but under normal conditions on our planned route, it's safely doable even without a spotter if you're taking it easy! Scenery is great the whole way, the falls where we're headed is a really nice place to stop and chill out for a bit... I'm on stock size tires and (usually) don't have much trouble clearing anything, so if you're presumably lifted with 38s.. no issues!
Definitely gonna be a good day if not sloppy from all this rain recently!!
Great group of dudes here for sure, you WILL have an excellent time! Hope you can make it.
Seldom do I remember to get pictures while I'm out but if I can find em on the computer I'll get a few posted.

Re: CHC AB - JUNE EVENT
Awesome to see a new face! Welcome along.... This is our favorite run actually.. Amazing scenery and fun along the way...
My spare is an unused 37" irok which is a bit over 37 if I'm not mistaken so would be more than sufficient for a spare, funny.... I don't think anyone has punctured a tire yet over the last few years ( knock on wood) and we've been in some pretty rough terrain. Trick is simple.... AIR DOWN... It saves the tires...
Looking forward to seeing your rig!

Thanks! Yeah, I have, ill figure out how to stick some on here, I live in Lethbridge so a few hours away.
Not a novice offroader so more than happy to take it easy, better safe than sorry and busting something miles from home.
Tires are all pretty much new MT's, but at $700 a piece I would rather not puncture or throw them off, I think ill have to decide closer to the weekend!
Whats this run like? is there any photos from previous runs about?

Not to worry, it isn't anything too crazy. If you have newer MT's and you take it easy you really don't have anything to worry about.
Here is an older album I have of the falls from maybe 2 years ago:

lol, I don't know what the password is! <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... on_eek.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':shock:' />
I will have to muck about with the settings, give me a bit of time and those links should be working soon
EDIT: There try it now
Looks like they removed the ability to share an album without publishing it on the searchable content in some sort of attempt to "Facebookize" it or something.

Re: CHC AB - JUNE EVENT
Typically it seems we go every once every 1 to 2 months
That will change for me though, after this trip I am shutting it down for a while to try to get some of my... er... lets call it "leveraged assets", sorted out.

No idea what is up, I find sometimes newer feature they add corrupt older stuff. For a long time I couldn't delete things on there either.
