Stumbled across this video and had to click on it being from Cranbrook, BC and now living in Calgary, AB. Have to say I was very pleasantly surprised and impressed with the filming quality, production, editing and storytelling! I particularly like the way you added in the road names - like a higher budget Hollywood movie. I think you’re giving Shaun from The Story Til Now some competition 👍
Thank you so much for the kind words! This was a super fun trip and I enjoyed putting this little film together. Even though I use basically the exact same gear, I don’t think I could ever do what Shaun does. The time he spends on his trips to collect content isn’t something I could ever do; or would even want to do. I’m perfectly content doing the best productions I can and keeping it fun 😎 Thanks for watching and commenting; very much appreciate it 😀
It’s a nice area; Alberta has some amazing trails. That being said, most of our trails are very tight. Think about self healing PPF to protect your paint.
Thanks for the vid! Buddy in his lifted Taco and I in my lifted Colorado did that trail last year. Awesome trip, rooftop tent equipped and camping on both sides. I agree a very cool area.
That was a fantastic adventure, thanks for sharing that. I have the same wife problem as you and Dubenstein!! Here I thought I was the only one :) Took my wife up the lost knife trail about 25 years ago and she started hitting me with her purse, but my 22 tear old twin boys just love it. Happy I tripped over you channel this afternoon.
it always boggles my mind when so many off roaders come upon a tree felled across the trail. They promptly work to cut the obstacle the exact same width of the trail?????? Why not maybe cut it a few feet more, into the bush.????
There were a lot of SxS up on Racehorse; both AB and BC sides. It’s a great trail definitely check it out next time you’re there. It really is geared more towards SxS action; it was a bit on the narrow side for us Jeep folk. We got a few pinstripes :P
You should have taken the left fork way back prior to hitting Teck property. That brings you out on the north south valley road that parallels the main hiway to the mine and would take you down to Elkford where you just drive pavement back to Crowsnest. 3 years ago we did the loop North Fork down the valley road then back up Racehorse. As you say NF is closed because of the mine expansion but so is Racehorse.
I believe that's the route we ended up taking out; we exited at Sparwood. It was a very beautiful route that we took; albeit an accidental one. I'm not an extreme environmentalist by any streatch of the immagination, but it's such a shame that mining activity is the reason that North Fork was closed. I did that trail about 10 years ago and absolutely loved it! Government entities said it was closed due to "water crossings"...but I don't recall any on that trail. This is reason makes the most sense to me; and it kinda sucks. I think that "wheels in water" is the governments go-to excuse for closing trails.
There are crossings at some fish bearing streams according to what I have heard through work. We had just found that trail earlier the year that it got shut down too.
We didn’t find out until after the fact that the BC side is closed. There was so much traffic on it; both full-size as well as ATVs. There was also no signage anywhere.
@@lowrider454 The Cooper Rugged Trek's have been awesome so far and yes, they are a cross over between an AT and a MT given that they are 4 lugs across like a MT but with AT compound giving them 3PMSF being the competitor to the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T but at a much lower price. This trip was also the first time I had been out on a trail with them and being kind of newer to the overland scene I think they did what they needed in terms of performance I as the driver could have picked better line through obstacles. I have since been out to Ruby falls in the Summer, Ghost falls a couple of times and out to Margret Lake w/ Lost knife pass and have not had many major issues with them. Sorry for the late response to this I just had this video come across my feed again while I was looking for something to watch.
@@DallasMihaliczhow is the ruby falls trail in your truck? I have a 2020 TRD offroad thats getting 33s next week and Ruby is oretty much #1 on my list
I don’t believe we attributed the causes to anything at all in the video. I hope they throw the book at those 36 people; starting first like that intentionally to boost an agenda is sick.
If you had a lift as well I would actually say yes. Everything relies on the nut! - the nut holding the steering wheel. Just don't gun it on loose rock. Son and I did North Fork and back Racehorse one weekend and never even needed to spot.
Without the Northfork Pass (thanks to Teck Mining), the area is a collection of really easy trails. Some of the decents on the BC side of Racehorse were nice and steep which you don't really get a sense of in the video; but it's still an easy trail. That being said, it's one of the more picturesque trails you'll find in this province.
@@barrytunzelmann6010 that part of the trail is a 1 out of 10 difficult. My Kia Rio could rock that trail plus…If I roll it there I don’t deserve to live in the first place 😝
So awesome to see my Province in videos! Great content!
Checkout our trip to Marble & Limestone Mountains; even more epic:

Yep - I’m super impressed and was thinking the exact same thing. Well done.
my gladiator rubicon well be up for the task soon! hopefully i see you folks out on the trails! great camera work this was very informative

Hard to believe you are a one-man show. Great footage and storytelling.
Heh; you should checkout my doc series on professional RC Car racing. It’s called “Come Drive With Us”.

I can’t wait to do it again!
Really great video = the photography, storytelling, and a fun adventure with your daughter. A great memory!
Thanks! Appreciate the comment 😊 It was a fun adventure; many more to come.
Nice production as always, Cory.
Thanks Groot!
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! It was a super fun trip and I can't wait to do it again...next time with a trek down the North Fork Pass Trail :)
Outstanding production.
Great videography and narration. Fun had by all. Great trail. Overall very well done.
Thanks for watching

What an amazing episode! can't wait for more!
I just shot one 10000000x better! Coming soon!!

Dang ATVers hahah
This is so sick! Amazing voice over too!
Awwwe thanks for the feedback. Glad you liked it!
Great video! Nice camera work! This looks like fun...makes me wanna take the ole Tundra out 😝
Thanks for the video. We’ve ridden side by sides out of McGillvray and Atlas but have never made it up to the Racehorse Pass Trail.

Big engines+big tires+big fat bellies=a fun time for everyone without much thinking required.
Hey not all of the drivers had bellies; some of us are in a shape other than round buahahahahha!
Awesome video! Glad I came across your channel. Subscribed.

Thanks for the feedback; I'm happy you enjoy it! I'm just finishing up my film on the Moab trip. Should be dropping on the 21st :)
Nice one guys
Thanks! Glad you liked it. Don’t forget to checkout my newest film about our run up Marble Mountain:

nice ryde !!! 🤘🤘
Fantastic video. We were there around the same time as you. Beautiful area, definitely want to go back.
Yeah it sure is nice down there. This year we’ll be checking out the crevice fire tower south of there.
Lol first video i find looking for new trails in my area brings me to my child hood camp sites 😂
Nice place to camp for sure! If you’re looking for new places, checkout the limestone area:

@@JustEmptyEveryPocket sweet thank you!
Looks beautiful! I had heard that racehorse pass was closed where it crosses to BC this year - no longer?
We didn’t find out until after the fact that the BC side is closed. There was so much traffic on it; both full-size as well as ATVs. There was also no signage anywhere.
I was just up by upper priest lake yesterday with my K5. About 100 miles south west of crowsnest pass. We live in beautiful country!👍
It sure is! I’m taking a group to Crevice fire tower this weekend.
@@JustEmptyEveryPocket We will have a booth at the overlanding expo outside of Leavenworth Washington this weekend! Be safe! Awesome video!👍
Hi I’m just wondering about the blue tacoma how did his cooper rugged trek tires do in the different obstacles?
I’m not sure; MTs hooked up the best on that trail and I believe the Rugged Trek are an AT.
It should be a hybrid between m/t and a/t
@@lowrider454 The Cooper Rugged Trek's have been awesome so far and yes, they are a cross over between an AT and a MT given that they are 4 lugs across like a MT but with AT compound giving them 3PMSF being the competitor to the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T but at a much lower price.

@@DallasMihaliczhow is the ruby falls trail in your truck? I have a 2020 TRD offroad thats getting 33s next week and Ruby is oretty much #1 on my list
That's pretty sweet.
How much extra fuel did you have to take?
I brought 20L but didn’t need any; my 2-door with the 3.6L is very efficient on the trails.
@JustEmptyEveryPocket good to know. Thank you.
I'll be adding this trail to my bucket list trails.
@@RXN58 if you have a bit of lift and 35s…do the north fork pass; it looks AWESOME! Not stock friendly so we had to call it a day a bit early.
@JustEmptyEveryPocket small lift on 33s. That blue Sahara that was with you and Steve on tye March 31st Ghost falls trip
Once I'm healed up enough to get out again, think I'll give Kakwa Falls a go. Probably early September
I’m looking to do this area summer 2024, any route guidance would be appreciated. Thanks
Download the Livingstone PLUZ map. Also there were a lot of locations shown on maps in this video.
Me too, I want to do this trail this coming summer.
Really good video
Glad you enjoyed it
36 people were arrested for arson regarding those fires so don't be mistaken were they originated from.
I don’t believe we attributed the causes to anything at all in the video. I hope they throw the book at those 36 people; starting first like that intentionally to boost an agenda is sick.
There are still bodies under those boulders
It’s a pretty amazing thing to see; and eerie at the same time…just knowing there’s a whole town under there.
“ZOMBIE” fires 🔥 still burning through the winter
Yeah that's insane! I fear this is going to be a summer just as bad as '23...
I thought racehorse pass was closed on the bc side
This was explained in the video.
Do you think a VW Touareg will make it there? The only mod I did is 33 inch tire
Nope.
If you had a lift as well I would actually say yes. Everything relies on the nut! - the nut holding the steering wheel. Just don't gun it on loose rock. Son and I did North Fork and back Racehorse one weekend and never even needed to spot.
Check out Lucas coatings out of the Crossfield area. He uses endura (industrial mining) paint. Better than powder coating.
I went with self healing PPF. So far it’s pretty dialed. We’ll see how it holds up.
@JustEmptyEveryPocket awesome video by the way. Looks like a trail I'd like to take my 95 f250 down
I thought only teenaged kids wear Che shirts, guess I was wrong
A what?
6:18 unironically wearing a communist murderer as a full grown adult lol
Well that’s disappointing, Ive been there twice and hoped there was something better…….

30:08 No seatbelts. Not a good thing if you roll or go over the edge.
