Conquering Flood Mountain: A Return to Grande Cache’s Iconic Peak

By Boris Bokov

June 28, 2025 – Flood Mountain, Grande Cache, Canada.

Dinosaur Trail or Prezes' Birthday

 7 June 2025

The Dinosaur Trail is almost 19 km long, mostly flat, with two "technical stretches." I named it after the dinosaur figure, which stands in front of one of the houses. Perhaps because of the strong winds that day, the ride was attended by only seven bikers (from the left): Mike, Piotr, Grace, Voytek, Witek and (the hand of) Marian. The seventh biker was Andy who took the picture.
