Foresty does not say much about where he is, other than the names of little known mountains whose names I recognized, but after a lifetime of living in BC and Alberta and studying Western Canadian geography, I can provide information to those watching around the world. I posted this comment, with more detail on the mountains and valleys visible in the panoramas, as a reply to the most popular comments at the top of the page on his longer video of this trip. This is along the British Columbia - Alberta provincial border just west of Banff and Jasper National Parks on the west (BC) side of the Rocky Mountains, in the Columbia Icefield region, the largest glacier system in the range, and it also has the largest collection of high peaks, 12 over 3300 meters / 11,000 feet above sea level, and 3 more over 3650 meters / 12,000 feet. If the mountains seem higher, it is because the valleys are very deep here, descending to around 3000 feet above sea level, or even lower. Only Mt Robson, about 150 km / 90 miles north of here, is higher in Canada's Rockies, and it is right on the Yellowhead Pass Highway #16. The east side of the Columbia Icefield is easily accessed by the world-famous "Icefields Parkway" highway which connects Banff and Jasper National Parks. There are numerous videos of it on YT, and it is very busy in summer. The west side, where Foresty is here, was inaccessible as recently as the 1970's (except by the most skilled and determined wilderness travellers, involving a week or more of travel) until the logging roads were built in the 1980's and 1990's originating in the small towns of Golden and Valemount, about 120 km / 80 miles away, one to the south and one to the north. Anyone contemplating travel on these roads should check locally first with the British Columbia Forest Service Office, some are active logging haul roads, and may be closed for safety reasons. Those that are open are very risky to travel on due to remoteness, weather, mud, floods, slides, washouts, fallen trees, un-maintained bridges, overgrown shrubbery, steep hills, and potential tire punctures, in some areas roads and junctions are confusing and it is possible to get lost, even with a good map. There are numerous bears, cougars, wolves and coyotes, the majority of which will leave humans alone if proper techniques of co-existence are followed, keeping human foods out of sight and smell is the main one, as they do in the nearby National Parks, other animals are moose, deer, elk and caribou, and wild mountain goats and mountain sheep. Be aware you could get trapped in a remote area and assistance could be days or even a week away by foot. Satellite phones will work, cellphones do not. There are no residents or services between Golden and Valemount, the huge Kinbasket Lake Reservoir since 1975 fills the main valley, just 800 meters / 2500 feet above sea level, called the Rocky Mountain Trench, between these towns. It is the flooded headwaters of the Columbia River, the same river that empties into the Pacific Ocean 1600 km / 1000 miles downstream along the Oregon-Washington State border in the USA. Early explorers and fur traders actually travelled to the mouth of that river at Fort Astoria in Oregon in the early 1800's from Jasper House, a trading post near the present day town of Jasper, Alberta.
You really know to capture the beauty around you when on these hikes/ climbs. Thank you soooo much for sharing your adventures with us. You make 🇨🇦 proud!!
Forest's Forest never fails to amaze 👍. It's almost as if you're carrying us on your shoulders and the views are majestically otherworldly🌌 😮. Thanks friend and safe travels 🤗
This felt kinda crazy. Absolutely epic footage that brought up a lot of emotion. Incredible. Truly thankful you were all safe and honestly hoping you don’t do “deadly” maneuvers going forward. Find a way to make it safe then carry on. Such an incredible documentary of an amazing memory. Cheers🥂
King Edward is a real prize. high and remote and gives you a view of Mount Alberta that few people see. I've never done it but a friend of mine did. I'm jealous. Well done!
Beautifully filmed There’s a shot of your silhouette with the moon behind you..very cool For some reason that mountain reminds me of the Toblerone mountain..maybe I’m just hungry ! Well done and take care 🇨🇦 ❤️
Dear Lord!! That vertical near the top was so STEEP it unnerved and frightened me for you. Really glad you did this one with friends, in case. How long did you need to recover after this climb? Absolutely heavenly drone footage and music too boot. Premiere level climb and vid 🤗😘❤
I was literally feeling what you were thinking when you climbed that steep bit (first time I got scared while watching YT) and then I couldnt even imagine how you get down that steep bit...JEEZ...ok now I can breathe phheewww
Down, it was hard to see where the steps were kicked in. And things were starting to crumble apart. It was just really slow and tedious, was super happy when it was over.
Forestey breathing hard and clenching his but cheeks on that climb!! Hard work for sure!! 3 men alone against the wilderness mountains- absolutely captivating 💕
FF hiking alone is peaceful and calming, but FF with friends makes me feel more on edge. Maybe im just an anti-socialite... just gives me blair witch vibes lol
I can't get enough of your Drone footage. Simply stunning.

That was so cool to read thanks for posting!
Thank you so much for this description of the area. It's truly a clencher!
You really know to capture the beauty around you when on these hikes/ climbs. Thank you soooo much for sharing your adventures with us. You make 🇨🇦 proud!!
It’s amazing how Forest can both climb and hold the camera, especially going up that steep part, that was indeed scary!
Man! That's how much sharing means to the dude. Amazing indeed!
The camera is attached to his head
Wow that steep icy-snow climb was intense. Great work foresty. Your drone footage is epic.
Amazing scenery! You're friends seem super cool never heard you laugh so much. Thank you for the inspiring video f.f.
Spectacular footage. Thanks
It's really nice to see Moresty out on a play date with his hiking buddies ❤ 😄 😊 💕 💖 lol.
Awesome yet scary video!! I thoroughly love your videos. I like the longer ones even better
Those views from the top. Truly breathtaking.
Forest's Forest never fails to amaze 👍. It's almost as if you're carrying us on your shoulders and the views are majestically otherworldly🌌 😮. Thanks friend and safe travels 🤗

That’s freakin insanely incredible! Awesome!! Thanks for sharing.
This shadow channel is an outstanding addition to your other channel. LOVE IT!! LOVE BOTH!!
You make us proud Simon. I've felt that fear, it's nearly paralyzing.
Thank you Foresty. Another epic adventure I will never make. But wow is it a treat to watch you and your tribe make the climb.
That is a fantastic climbing video! Great work!
The footage while hiking down was awesome. Thanks for that!
Amazing scenery........and that steep (vertical) bit..............!
Good stuff man! I like the half way point between a regular video of yours and the full 3+ hour hikes you were tying at first here on Moresty!
The river reminds me of the Dhudh Kosi (river of milk) in Nepal
Congrats on that magnificent climb and video!
OMG! That was seriously unnerving! Scary vertical. My cheeks clenched and breathing shallowed. I kept holding my breath. Cheers from Vancouver eh!
Again, you are one of the luckiest people to be able to experience such awesomeness.
What a trek! Your friends are the real deal. They are into the challenging ones. Loved the video
King Edward is a real prize. high and remote and gives you a view of Mount Alberta that few people see. I've never done it but a friend of mine did. I'm jealous. Well done!
Music is always spot on, mate. 👏🏽👏🏽
It must be surreal and breathtaking to stand there on the top. Wow! But the part about a misstep and fall to death, please be careful Foresty! 😳
Beautifully filmed
There’s a shot of your silhouette with the moon behind you..very cool
For some reason that mountain reminds me of the Toblerone mountain..maybe I’m just hungry !
Well done and take care 🇨🇦 ❤️
LOVE this version better!! Many thanks!
Pucker facter 7.8 …beautiful view, happy to be on the couch tho…
Just magnificent and awe inspiring. To see share such beauty is such a gift to others.
Coming back down would've been equally as terrifying.
Coming down is anyways worse, at least going up you're oriented the right way.
Epic hike with friends!! 💛🏔❄️
On a hot spring day like today, damn that snow looks good
Thank you for taking us along!
Is a trip to the Himalayas in Foresty's future?
Well done Sir👏 That was amazing! Stunning view captured perfectly😍 Wish you safe & never ending adventures 😊🌱💙
I was waiting for this since you posted the video on your main channel :D
Ditto!👍🏻
Dear Lord!! That vertical near the top was so STEEP it unnerved and frightened me for you. Really glad you did this one with friends, in case. How long did you need to recover after this climb? Absolutely heavenly drone footage and music too boot. Premiere level climb and vid 🤗😘❤
that steep ass pitch! I would have wanted TWO ice axes for that, one in each hand. Even better would have been a belay!
This is way better than the main channel.
Thank you, most people seem to prefer the van lifey stuff..!! Glad the hiking is enjoyable too! 😄
I said that the after the first MF video.
Extraordinary
This highlights the camaraderie of your hiking group.
Most things are better with friends.
That must be like standing on a plane that doesn't move...
Indiana Jones would be proud!
I was literally feeling what you were thinking when you climbed that steep bit (first time I got scared while watching YT) and then I couldnt even imagine how you get down that steep bit...JEEZ...ok now I can breathe phheewww
What was harder, climbing up that steep part or climbing down?
Down, it was hard to see where the steps were kicked in. And things were starting to crumble apart. It was just really slow and tedious, was super happy when it was over.
@@morestyforest4325 Slow and tedious, like your life depended on it! Well done.
Geeeeeeeezzzzzz!!!!!!
Totally surreal.
Thank you
wicked and breathtaking at the same time content. but should have taken a snow racer GT to come down the mountain. 😅
Forestey breathing hard and clenching his but cheeks on that climb!! Hard work for sure!! 3 men alone against the wilderness mountains- absolutely captivating 💕
Amazing
thanks for putting this video on, nothing to say but amazing,
i would watch hours of this
Hey, this is another great channel!
Thanks 👍
Glad you guys weren't there when Ding Dong bear visited.
stunning
Just as great the second time
@4:25 that's gangsta 💪🏼😐
Love the videos!
You could see the light in the sky way early in the morning.
Doesn't get much better than that. Betting the air is starting to get thin at the top. How many days did you rest after that Climb ?????
Curious on how much weight ya'll are carrying🤔looks amazing tho😁
It was heavy for the first 1 km.. we just wanted to get safely across the river in daylight. After that it was pretty minimal. Fast and light 😁
Inspiring
FF hiking alone is peaceful and calming, but FF with friends makes me feel more on edge. Maybe im just an anti-socialite... just gives me blair witch vibes lol
The dude hiking in shorts is such a dude thing to do 😂😂😂
A proper Canadian - wearing shorts while hiking through snow.
That was amazing
Pumping out the video's
Thanks!
Oh my gosh this does not look like a Forestry peak. I am out of breath watching this video.
Serious that.
That was impressive.
Great video
LEETLE specs on mountain top.
Hi 🙋🏿♀️
North Face👍🏿
My dumb ass just got the onlyhikes joke.
It's weird saying this, but I'd love to see even LESS work go in to video production on these. Like truly just footage dump me...
