What an awesome trip, one way trips are the best since you know your van is there at the destination and you don't have to go all the way back. I've been to radium, it's really nice there, good place to stop if you're on that drive, or canoe.
I like radium. I spent a few days around there and saw so many big horn sheep. They were all over town, it was wild. I went to Radium straight from Banff, so I was also glad to be out of there.
I agree. I spent a few days around there. I saw a herd of 12 big horn sheep while I was using the outdoor gym equipment in radium, I definitely want to go back there.
Yes and no. This area was non motorized access only, I double checked the picture I took of the sign. But the Columbia River is 2000 kilometers long, so there's definitely some places where you could Jetski. I think a 2000 kilometers jetski trip from the source of the columbia river all the way to the pacific ocean would be pretty freaking epic though!
@tomkelly3896 I don't think Lewiston Idaho is on the Columbia river, unless that's a different branch maybe? Earlier in this trip, which will be in a later video, I canoed between the mica creek and Revelstoke dams. That's technically Revelstoke lake, but it's the columbia river. South of Revelstoke I think it would be smooth sailing until you reach a dam outside Castlegar, then after that I think you can get all the way to the grand coulee dam in Washington state. After that I'm not sure, but I think there's more dams. The dams would be the biggest obstacles for sure. I know people have canoed the whole thing, and honestly I would like to one day, but it's way easier to portage a canoe around a dam than a jet ski.
The Columbia River flows north first. It's source is about an hour south of Invermere in Canal Flats British Columbia. From there, it flows North through where I canoed in this video and towards Golden, where it eventually flows into Kinbaset Lake. After Kinbaset lake, it takes a sharp left turn and flows south over the Mica Creek dam into Revelstoke lake, then from there it continues south all the way into America, and eventually out to the pacific ocean by Astoria Oregon. The video I'm posting next week will show the source of the Columbia, and eventually I'll be posting a video of a solo canoe trip that I did between the Mica Creek and Revelstoke dams. Pretty interesting river. While I was canoeing on lake revelstoke I heard rumors that there was a lady in front of me that was planning on paddling the entire length of it. I don't know exactly where she started, but she was apparently planning on getting to Oregon. Wild!

Awesome had no idea about those wetlands...have to check them out. Thanks for sharing
I definitely think they are worth checking out. I would like to go back myself and do this same paddle again, but extend it to a few more places
Beautiful views 😊

I'm confused, I thought the columbia flowed south in to the states, but you went north from Invermere to Radium.
