Calabogie Race track and Eagles Nest Aug 16


 Calabogie Motorsport Park

Levi and I are on our annual adventure. First stop was the Calabogie Motorsport Park. This track was built for people who have high powered bikes and cars. They can come here and race them or practice . Not sure if they have competitive racing or not.

The track is 5.05 klm long, the longest in Canada, consisting of 20 turns, measuring 40 feet wide, and a 2000 foot straight away.

This is the view from the viewing platform of motorcycles racing on the straight away.

Eagles Nest
The Eagles Nest Hike on Calabogie mountain is to a look out over a valley. There are two routes to the top. One is a walking path  that would be rated difficult but not extreme, the other is a wider easier hike on a mountain bike path ,that is wide enough for ATVs. We went up the difficult and most interesting path and returned by the easy one.

There are many kilometers of trails on this mountain. The longest is about 4 hours one way.

There are 2 places along the hike where people have created a scene like this one.
