You have to go to Lake Moraine at sunrise. Absolutely our best photo on our western trip. We camped in a Canadian park near Lake Louise. Took a bus to the lake at 4:30. On the bus back to the campground they told us that there are 68 bears in the park and most of them forage near our campground. The tour guide advised that there are 2 types of campgrounds where we were the “hard side” (trailers & class A, B,C) and the “soft side” (tents & popups). The soft side has a strong fencing. So we arrive back at our RV at 9 am where we were questioned by a ranger. Seems like our neighbors in the small trailer next to us were shaken at about 5 am accompanied by a loud “Woof”. So we missed our “visitor” that morning.
Fun fact..... My mother used to work at the Lodge at Athabaske Glacier back when the glacier almost reached the highway. She grew up in Jasper her father was the "Station Master" at the CN rail station in Jasper P/S I'm 73 now that should tell you how long ago that was.... ;-) You gotta check out the Salmon Glacier it's epic!! and you can drive right to it, (not with the trailer though), Camp at Meziadin Lake Provincial Park and drive in with the pickup only
Peanut butter on pancakes, waffles, & French toast! Craig, you are not the only one who enjoys peanut butter on pancakes. I have a hard time eating them without & almost never do..👊
Hi Craig and Victoria! Lovely video and all the places you visited, althoug the cave was a little creepy 😅 glad you are enjoying your friends of Open Roading 🙌💛💛
People forget the 5th grade science experiment of putting an ice cube out and seeing if it melts faster as it gets smaller. If you go back through Wisconsin sometime take Highway 14 between Madison and LaCrosse it goes through the area they say is unglaciated in the last ice age. The bluffs and valleys are a nice view. You got some excellent shots in the cave and that was a quick shot getting the mad goat running past. Hope your trip goes great and you stay safe and healthy.
I sent this same idea ro Open Roading. I dont mean to overstep, but my idea is this, and maybe your already doing it. Maybe in your videos, have everyone, all four of you, in the forfront of your individual videos. Everyone be together on both channels? My late wife and I travelled with friends often. It adds an element of fun; some conflict; prayer; and ultimatlely Love. People i believe need to see this . Enjoy your friendship and travels. Your frindship makes for awesome viewing. You have an opportunity here.🥰
Loved this video! We live in Calgary (about 45 mins from Banff) and it was so fun to see our backyard through your eyes! I’ve never been to the Exshaw bunker, and it looks like a place to check out :-) As for the weather, you hit one of the coldest springs I ever remember - but September and October are usually pretty warm. Depending on how long you stay in Alaska, you may want to come back and try a few more amazing Rocky Mountain hikes.
We are in Tok Alaska today, drove Alcan all is good to Whitehorse. After Whitehorse first rough road is washboard gravel for miles then rough repair patches. Be extremely careful in the areas of frost heaves, many miles of them 150 miles of bad road between Whitehorse and Tok
Excited to go along with you to Alaska! Your vids are always fun and uplifting. It's great that you two understand that life is short, so you need to make those memories sooner rather than later! ❤
There are a couple of things y’all need to have 1 never forget your generator 2 some communications for backing up hand signals sometimes don’t work and3 tire-minders hate blowouts maybe you have them I just never see them in the videos great videos ya’ll
It's not just Canada being far north, you're in the mountains so you are at altitude. I live in Colorado and I have experienced snow in every month of the year in the mountains. So I would expect that when you are well north of the 49th.
When you r in the rockys in spring, expect rain and snow. Come back through on your way back from Alaska, and then you will more likely hit our hot / dry summer. The Rocks r beautiful in every season.
I live in Alaska and you are really going to enjoy it! South central Alaska is one of the most beautiful places on earth! Be sure to make camping reservations early, they fill up fast.
Before I became allergic to peanuts, I used to put peanut butter on baked fish, pike in particular. You should try it. Craig, you are in Canada now, use maple syrup on your pancakes. It's been nearly 50 years since I was in Banff and up to Jasper. I still miss the beautiful scenery and the sound of a thunderstorm in the mountains. The icefield has been shrinking for many years. When I was there, in the 70's, it almost reached the highway.
So Glad you got out too the Columbia glacier! For reference when I was 14 the toe of the glacier was about 1/4 mi from the Jasper Banf highway. And Yes peanut butter and strawberry jam and MAPLE syrup. CHEERS AND SAFE TRAVELS Steve h.
The hot spring you should check out, is Liard Hot Springs which is on the Alcan Highway on the BC side, not too far from the Yukon. On the Highway just past Liard hot springs and into the Yukon, there are almost always Buffalo grazing along the side of the road.
@@wildrvlife keep up the awesome content love it. Next time you in Alberta stop by Drumheller the Royal Terrell Museun & Dinosaur Provincial Park. All within in close proximity of each other.
I just found your channel and very much enjoyed it, especially as you started in the Kootenays (where I'm from and my heart is, though you weren't in my area). I'm glad you enjoyed it. I smiled as you drove through and shared your comments. You'll be interested to know that much of the area gets quite hot in the summer, even past 100'F in July and August. And how that you have been to the ice fields you get to call knit hats by Canadian name of tuques (too -ks) and call it learning a strange language. ;-) Honestly the entire interior region between Banff and the coast are full of hidden gems that are often overlooked by people rushing to go straight through to the bigger most advertised destinations. If you do happen to stray from the fast track a good trick is to ask locals about what they know about. I hope you both/all enjoy yourselves well and get your money's worth during your time in our country. And P.S. Tim Hortons A.K.A. "Timmies" is no joke. Or, wait. Maybe it is a really big one. Any time a coffee/donut shop makes national news for the outrage of raising coffee prices by $.10 could very possibly be a joke. He was a hockey player BTW. This is serious business. It is as serious as the question of whether you are team Timmies or team Starbucks. Can't be both. Sorry about the rain. Blame the cat. Cheers
We just requested a quote from Brinkley on the Z 2900 as now is near the end of the 24 season where they can start posting sale prices that make your heart rate increase. Suddenly you go from depressed to impressed. We are also requesting a quote for the 4500# Gen-Y pin box & the offset gooseneck ball. Now to find the dealer that can deal with us taking delivery the latter part of October when we are done camp host managing for the summer.
NO WAY! I've been putting peanut butter on my pancakes since I was a little girl (In my mid 60s now). PB and maple syrup (now I only look for real maple syrup, none of the corn syrup stuff). Husband and first born like butter and jelly, second born son and I eat pb with maple syrup. YUM!!! (I wonder what he has his fiancee doing????? Did he win her over to pm and ms?)
Hey you two! Glad to see you exploring Canada! I just picked up my Brinkley Z 3400 two weeks ago and I am wondering which traveling/RV apps you primarily use?
Early summer? It isn’t officially summer until June 21/22😁. You’re in the Canadian Rockies so it’s not warm until the real summer months-July & August. The Icefields Parkway is our shortcut from Calgary to Prince George BC. I’ve been taking photos of the Athabaska Glacier since 1976 & so have quite the record of the glacier receding. Saskatchewan is Sa-skat-cu-wan And we’ve been on the road since April 20 & it’s only been warm & sunny for pockets of hours. Even when we went Boise,ID! I’m so over the wind rain & cold!
If it’s Sciatica, you can do some easy excercises for some relief. Rain and snow (barometric pressure) really do make you feel it more. Sorry you’re not feeling your best.😕

My favourite memory of my first visit is a classmate sliding down the aret saying “I’m faaallling”. He was fine. Just got to the bottom of the ridge faster than the others. We walked up the path to the edge of the glacier & past all the year markers as it receded. Sad. Saskatchewan is Sa-skat-chew-wan
Thank you!! We leave them in the RV and they mostly nap when we’re gone I think 😄 after so long in the RV now, they are used to it, so it’s just like when we would leave them in our house
American = 3 piece luggage filled with half the closet. Canadians = Shorts and a T-Shirt... Lets hike! OMG frozen water!!!!! That's a funny looking goat.
I have been eating peanut butter on my pancakes since i was a kid lol an i am 50 now so its still my thing. Even though most dont understand why lol. 😊

As a Saskatchewan resident I was very surprised and impressed that you pronounced Saskatchewan properly. Another great video. Love seeing our country.

Craig, you are not the only one who enjoys peanut butter on pancakes.

Try it on toast with eggs, it's amazing!
You HAVE to have PB on pancakes with Syrup.... LOL. It's too sweet without it... LOVE IT...

We live in Wisconsin in the area of the Niagara Escarpment that was formed by a glacier. It’s a beautiful area.
I really enjoy these videos. I love the trips, views and adventures. The company is fun, too!
So glad you enjoy them!! We love getting to share our adventures with you

I tried to explain Tim Hortons to a friend in NC and said that it's like Dunkin Donuts, Panera and Starbucks had a baby...
We were able to go to Banff and Jasper a couple of years ago. It was a beautiful drive though the mountains.
Gotta put PB on pancakes. Gives you some protein!! Also definitely going to lift our Lance before we go next year. Taco Bell hahahahaha
Peanut butter on pancakes is a must Craig!
I almost drowned in the Saskatchewan river when I was a kid. That was a experience I’ll never forget.
Always put peanut butter on our pancakes and on our waffles too
I put peanut butter on my pancake 🥞 too 😊
Come back through Osoyoos..you won’t be cold
Don't worry Craig I was old since I was 21. You get used to it...

You should try the sky walk over Grand Canyon. The one you are on there looks better. But the Grand Canyon one is ok.

We use capendium even though it's going down the drain due to being bought out by thor and ioverlander the most.
I put peanut butter on my pancakes too! We are going to be in Banff and Jasper this summer too!
love your videos! I wish you would mention what month it is in your videos so future me can plan my Alaska trip.
I put peanut butter on everything!!!
Craig, you haven't seen anything yet about being old! Just wait until 40 hits.
Haha idk I'm a bit worried, lol.
@@wildrvlife if you keep working on your body, body weight (lifting) and less running I think you will be solid.
Corn (dump small can of sweet kernel corn) pancakes with peanut butter and jelly... nothing better!

thank you! and thanks for watching, we got to see some really good views this week
Beautiful mountains ❤❤
Y’all are just so entertaining 18:33
Random Craig at 22:50 Tim Horton's!
We are in that area in 4 days!
Yes Craig, peanut butter on my pancakes.
Very beautiful up there. We are headed to Idaho and Oregon next week. Off roading and kayaking should be nice.
Oh that'll be a great trip. We explored Oregon some a couple summers ago and really loved it. Went rock climbing at Smith Rock State Park!
So Beautiful 🤩 Canada is spectacular 😮 Enjoy ‼️😊
It really is so beautiful, we are really enjoying the scenery!
If it’s Sciatica, you can do some easy excercises for some relief. Rain and snow (barometric pressure) really do make you feel it more. Sorry you’re not feeling your best.😕
ahhh I wonder if the rain has been making it worse then. Hopefully it'll heal soon, thank you for the well wishes!
PB is amazing on pancakes. It gives you some protein for the morning.

Since you are now in our home turf, you need to go to Tim Hortons and order your double double to consider yourself “Canadian “…..grin
Already ahead of you. I've had 2 double doubles and an apple fritter.
@@wildrvlife and did you like it, or? Poutine is next….
Tim Hortons is awesome love Timbits and hubby loves a double double
Have they put seatbelts in the glacier buses yet? Hope so.
"TIM HORTONS! that's popular, Canada" yes Craig, that is popular. But McDonald's has better coffee. Double Double ex large please.
Peanut butter and pancakes yes please!!! Yum!
So good!
What's next? Reader Glass! Peanut Butter every time. @CampLibertyRV
Looked like fun! Be careful!
we had a blast, thanks for watching!

Oh yeah, chocolate chip pancakes are the best

I put peanut butter on my waffle! Hahaha

Thank you!
Thank you!

Just a heads up..we say Koot -nee.

Cece thought everyone put peanut butter on their pancakes until just recently.
All the cool kids do!
Craig, you are not weird. I put peanut butter on my pancakes!!
Pancakes-butter-PeanutButter-syrup (Aunt Jamima) everytime!
Absolutely put peanut butter on pancakes. And slice bananas on top of that.
I had a roommate in New York City and he ate a huge stack of pancakes and peanut butter in between every one!
haha apparently it's a popular thing to do, more than I thought
Peanut butter on pancakes is life.
Age on the horns, full curl is a mature animal meaning 5-6 years or more
oh interesting! thanks for the tip!
Only peanut butter on pancakes and waffles no butter. Victoria's going put you out to pasture craig.
The ONLY way to eat pancakes is with peanut butter!!!👍👍👍
