I've only ever visited up to Whistler, never been to Pemberton and only heard of the festivals. Wow i clearly been missing out! Gorgeous waterfall and nature all around, but drinks with a beautiful backdrop? now THAT is a trip 😀
Saw the title of your new adventure and almost fell off the couch. Collected myself and thought Pemmie AND North Arm Farms all wrapped up in one day with a hike and wind down bevy. Good call. Beautiful day for it!!! Love Melissa's new? HH hat/toque..
You are both pretty brave going there even with the ice tracks. You never know how quickly the situation can change. I've lived here all my life and did back pack in the mountains when I was younger. I have heard of Nairn falls but never have been there🙂 My neighbour who has now passed told me stories of his boyhood in Pemberton. They were poor and lived off the land to a large degree. His Mom harvested wild berries and plants and preserved them. They would trade with the Indians a couple times a year. He remembered very well his horses and sleigh rides in the winter.
Thank you for sharing that and also for watching. We're obviously pretty new to hiking in such grand places, so we try to take it easy and we tend not to do risky things. There were some points on the trail where a fall could have resulted in rolling down into the river... but not many spots. And we were VERY careful.
Yea, I know a year later, and a dollar short, but there's also a brewery in Pemberton, Schramm, or Pemberton Distillery that makes a fantastic organic potato vodka. They also have artisan gin.
Another fun to watch video. Crazy Canuck Drive was likely named after Canadian alpine skiers Jim Hunter, Dave Irwin, Dave Murray, Ken Read and Steve Podborski, known as the Crazy Canucks. (In case you didn't know)
Those foot grippy things are just about ubiquitous here in the Yukon. I almost chocked when you first said $100!!! Even with our prices, that was a lot. $25? Much better! I've not been to Pemberton; it looks like a nice place. And, the further north you go, the more remote things become. No-one on the highways, let alone the trails!
The flooding in November caused epic damage. The Lower Mainland was cut off by ground from the rest of Canada. The highways were out as was rail service. The Coquihalla had about 20 washouts alone 5 bridges that were destroyed or nearly destroyed. That was just part of the damage. Towns were evacuated. Gas was rationed for a month. It was crazy. SO MUCH DAMAGE.
We are quite afraid of bears. :D However, we thought we were close enough to civilization so that the chances were very slim. We used to have bear spray... maybe we should always have bear spray.
@@chrisplusmelissa next time try a city called Kelowna, it’s the Napa valley of Canada with grape vineyards all over , Kelowna in in a semi Arid Valley with a series of lakes , The city has around 160,000 in the area , It’s a popular Summer and winter destination,In the winter for great skiing , in the summer the warm Temps ,And great food and winery tours and trail by the lakes
@@squamishfish We actually stayed in Kelowna for about a month from mid April to the end of May of 2024. We loved it! We considered maybe settling down there for a bit, but ultimately figured we had to go back to Minnesota. We didn't do any videos however. Just took a break and enjoyed the area for the sake of enjoying it. :)
An avalanche is an avalanche of snow and ice. A rock slide is a rock slide. You don't have both at the same time almost ever. That would be a big rarety.

Ahh... we did NOT know that. Thank you for the info! :)

Yeah... we felt we were getting bamboozled. We're happy we found some less expensive ones! Someday...we'll go to the Yukon. It seems so remote!
Oh yeah and also have you checked out the signal Hill Elementary school?
We did not... we're both past the elementary age. :D

I remember hearing about it ... the crazy weather needs to stop.
Sorry I’m giving you way too much comments but in the summer if you come here there’s a lot of animals that you can feed.😄
Great area to pick shrooms...
Dan... I'm not sure we'll be doing that, but good to know. :D
i just drove that highway all the way to HWY 97. I coulda been in the show.
Typically... our videos were from a couple of weeks ago... so you may have actually driven by a tad later. :D Thanks for watching!
Are you guys not afraid of bears? Looks beautiful but I'd be terrified of encountering a bear

Yes there is snakes in Canada in British Columbia it is the Northern Pacific Rattlesnake, and other species
There's so many dangers in your part of the world. Uff!

@@chrisplusmelissa awesome , In the summer it can get hot , in the winter great skiing , so you missed the vineyards in full. Growth
You moved to Maine. Good choice! The maritime states or Canadian provinces are awesome to live and love. Seafood and the ocean are the draw.

Good to know! Thank you for helping us better understand. :)
