    Thanks for posting, it's always great. Every time I watch your videos I think of Nick the Frontiersman. Reminds me of the Lewis and Clark expedition except you're in Canada.

      Thanks very much. It is always wonderful to paddle the rivers of the Rocky Mountains. I would have loved to be an early explorer!! I base many of my trips on the travels of David Thompson.

      It's a great part of Jasper National Park, and a pleasure to canoe there. I had hoped to make it further up-river for this trip, but was unable to. That is where the most spectacular scenery would have been, but this was still a great trip. It made for an exciting ride. Thanks very much Thorn.

    Thank you for sharing due to modern technology. I lived in Jasper in the late 70's to mid 80's and we spend lots of paddling the rivers and lakes in that stunning park. Still to this day, my favorite terrain for water travel.

    • @nickharland3795

      Jasper is great for paddling!! The Athabasca is a fantastic canoeing river, and parts of the Sunwapta are good for an open canoe. I wish I could go there every weekend. Thanks for watching, take care.

    What a beautiful stretch of the river …. stunning. I love the clips of the rapids you took Nick … very cool. I can only imagine what it must be like to experience a view like that … plus the sounds and the smell of those evergreens. Awesome nature. Thanks for sharing with us.

    • @nickharland3795
      @nickharland3795  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah it's a beauty of a river. It was an impressive rapid to stand beside. A lot of power rushing past and over the boulder drop. It was a very nice stretch to paddle... it runs along the highway, but the intrusions were few and far between. Thanks for watching Robbie, take care my friend.

    paddle warrior :), nice views, like those side creeks that join in, some rock breakers there, thanks for sharing the trip, love that red in front with the white paddle, take care.

    • @nickharland3795
      @nickharland3795  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks very much. Yes it is a beautiful section of Jasper, with many small side creeks joining the river. Definitely a nice place to paddle a canoe.

    Only 8 minutes? You’re missing out on paddle ASMR. Great run thanks for sharing!

    • @nickharland3795
      @nickharland3795  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah it was less footage than usual... an unplanned youtube video. I didn't get out much this past year, so I figured I'd slap something together. It was indeed a nice run. Slow class I in the first half, portage around the big rapid, and class II towards to the end. Thanks for checking it out Lance.

    @rialobran 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I know I say it almost every time, but I'd be so busy taking in that scenery I'd never get anywhere. Brilliant as always, even if it is 'old footage'

    • @nickharland3795
      @nickharland3795  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks so much. Yeah it is a pleasure to paddle in these landscapes. It never gets old. Thanks for taking the time.

      😃Would have been "white" water, but very stiff and no rapids. Lots of exercise to get 20km, using ski poles instead of paddles.

    • @nickharland3795
      @nickharland3795  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Haha, no winter canoeing from this guy! Hopefully more this summer, last year was not so good. Thanks Perry, I hope all is well. Take care.

    Good to see a video from the legend. Hope your doing good buddy. We’ll have to get you out on a hike this year, matty and I have some plan for this year and maybe once we get the days/months nailed down I’ll text you a list and maybe one of them will line up with your schedule.😊

    • @nickharland3795
      @nickharland3795  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey Bo, I'm doing good and hope you are doing well too. I'll be pretty busy with canoe trips I need to get done and likely won't be able to do much backpacking. But yeah we can see what dates may line up.

    Good call on the potage, dont want to wreck the old ME

    • @nickharland3795
      @nickharland3795  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Even in lower water, that would be a portage for me. It would be much more than I could handle. Definitely don't want to wreck the ME. Thanks for checking it out, take care.

    You were flying down that stretch, cool run. I'm guessing 8-9mph?

    • @nickharland3795
      @nickharland3795  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I'm not sure about the speed, but yeah some of the narrow sections were quite fast. Thanks BD, take care.
