Hey i live in Alberta Canada And am wondering how far my drive will be from Calgary to St A dunes? If anyone could help with a rough idea that would be great iam thinking of going the middle of june. Is this a good time to go? And were is a good spot to stay thats close with showers near by? (We will be tenting)
And do they inforce sound limits cause i herd its 96db there and my raptor is piped (yoshi) and probally over that. thanks for the help maybe see some of you there [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Calgary to St. Anthony, 640 miles. Tent camp at the Desert Oasis 208-624-3275 they have showers. Don't worry about sound enforcement, but be sure to have an off-road sticker on your quads (from your area is fine).

 

ShadyRascal- you got a yfz ?? cool

 

Yes, check the Yamaha forum I posted "Mrs Shady comes through".

Man that little thing is a hoot!! Fast and handles! (the YFZ I mean, not Mrs Shady)

 

hey Shady, you gonna be at St. A anytime between the 20th and 28th?

 

I think 28th is the day we're heading down, the friday before Memorial day. If you'll be there let me know.

I am from Calgary and we hit the Dunes in St. A's twice a year. We are going in June for a week. Leaving on the 12 (Saturday) and returning on the 18 or 19th. This will be my 6th trip there, with fuel + food stops and the stop at the boarder you can count on 12 hours of travelling time. We leave @ 4:00am, this leaves time to set up and go for a ride that night when you get there - its bright to about 10:00pm in June.

We always stay @ the Sand Hills Resort, the owner (Mean Gene) can be a little wild sometimes. As long as you stay on his good side and follow his rules you will be fine. We have never had a problem with him.
The resort ids the best place to camp if you are tenting. All the spots grass and very nice. The bathrooms are not the best, but who cares we are there to ride anyway.

Don't forget to buy beer on the way. You can't buy beer in Rexburg on Sundays.

 

It take us 13 hours from Rocky Mountain House so It should be 11.5-12 from Calgary. Go down highway 2 and hit the interstate, that is the quickest way I've found. When you going down, Were leaving may long for a week

 

Thanks alot guys! Ill be heading out on june 14th so we should be there the 16th by the latest so far it will be just me on my Raptor and my g/f on here Banshee. Do you guys change your jetting when you get out there or before you leave? Also whats the elevation there? Maybe we will see you guys out there! If not have fun and thanks for the info[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

It is about 5000-5500 Jetting the raptor if you have a jet kit just change the jet to the recommended one for 3000ft+ if your not using them already. 2 off use used raptor the last time I was the and they worked great. The banshee I would just leave untill you get there, it will be rich when you get there so you won't have to worry about seizing it up then you can play from there. Just my 2 cents
