Once she has joined them, she will bicycle along with them but may not have enough time to bicycle from Calgary to the meeting place. I would appreciate hearing about public transportation in these areas although that information is available from the usual commercial sources. Big question is what about hitch-hiking? Are rides easily found? For someone with a bicycle and some gear? Is it unusual for a woman to be hitching alone? Would you consider it safe? All information will be appreciated, including tips and bicycling stories from Banff, Jasper, Yoho, etc. Thanks. Dennis Nichols, Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison ...!seismo!uwvax!djn
