Alberta's Ram River Falls
There's dozens of fabalous waterfalls in North America. Few will argue that Alberta's Ram Falls doesn't belong on that list. Roughly three hours from Calgary and Edmonton, Ram Falls is remote, like most good waterfalls, but it pays big dividens to visitors as the South Ram River plunges off a cliff yielding extrodinary views. There's a trail to a popular overlook, meanwhile the adventerous can scramble down loose cliffs for a better view, as we did here.

Trunk Road - Nordegg to Coalspur, Alberta - Hwy 734 & 40 - Timelapse
Trunk road from Nordegg to Coalspur turnoff, Alberta. On my way to Hinton, I could have taken the nice paved road but adventure awaits. Part way in I was debating turning around as it was fog, rain, and lots of mud. Almost ditched it a few times. Was I glad to see pavement! Will have to get another video of this road in the dry summer as there is some nice views of the back country.
Nordegg is a hamlet in west-central Alberta, Canada within Clearwater County.[1] It is located in the North Saskatchewan River valley in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, just east of the intersection of the David Thompson Highway and the Highway 734 spur of the Bighorn Highway (the Forestry Trunk Road). A former coal-mining town, it was named after Martin Nordegg and the name probably means North Corner in a German dialect.
Coalspur was established during the construction of the Alberta Coal Branch, a spur line of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway (later the Canadian National Railway) during 1911-1912. Located where the east and west lines diverged, it was home to the railroad construction camp and became a transport hub with a roundhouse and repair shops. It later became the headquarters for the Brazeau Forest Reserve and the Alberta Provincial Police.[1]
Soon after the railroad arrived in 1912, a group of British financiers founded the Yellowhead Pass Coal and Coke Company.[2] The original Yellowhead Mine near Coalspur employed 70 men, produced 500 tons of coal per day, and sustained the small community. At the peak of production the mine employed 400 men.[3] A massive underground fire occurred in 1915[4] and again in 1922. The mine closed in 1923, although other mines in the area continued to operate until the 1950s.[1]
One of the earliest oil wells in the central Alberta foothills was drilled near Coalspur. In 1924 Imperial Oil sank a test well near the community, and discovered a significant flow of natural gas that was used to heat boilers in the mining camp. No commercial quantity of petroleum was found however, and drilling ceased near Coalspur,[5] although several natural gas fields were later discovered in the Coal Branch area.[1]
The population throughout the Coal Branch area declined during the 1950s as the railroads replaced steam locomotives with diesel, and the mines closed due to lack of markets. The Coalspur post office, which opened in 1914, closed in 1963. Today the community is home to a dozen or so residents.

We hope you had fun as much as we did as well and we hope you could join us again next week for another fun and adventure.

Ram Falls
Here is a short video of my day trip out to Ram Falls. This is a beautiful place to visit and the drive out is just as amazing. I discovered that the blade guards for the phantom 2 are a bad idea as it makes it less stable as you will see my near miss at the end. Luckily I didn't lose it.
Ram Falls, Alberta
Ram Falls Provincial Park is a provincial park in Alberta, Canada, located 64 km (40 mi) south of Nordegg and 95 km (59 mi) west of Rocky Mountain House on Highway 734.
The park is situated in the Canadian Rockies foothills, along the Ram River valley, in a section dominated by steep river banks with small lakes divided by waterfalls, at an elevation of 1,570 m (5,150 ft).
The Nordegg Mine site very brief
This was the guided tour of the Mine, over years of vandalism they closed it off so you can't roam around alone. this history of Nordegg dates back to 1911 when a small camp was established and coal production started in 1912. Out of 5 coal seams only 2 were mined, No 2 and No 3 mine, they averaged 7.75 feet and 15.92 feet thick respectively. they were separated by about 123 feet of rock. they dipped at an angle of 12 degrees and were worked by underground room and pillar methods. Production peaked at 500000 tons in 1923.
on Oct 31, 1941 a large underground explosion in the No3 mine killed 29 miners, the mine operated until 1955 due to the decrease in coal, the reserves at Nordegg had not been exhausted
