Canada is truly heaven country which is rich with nature and beauty and its heartly nice.
Growing up in Western Alberta & seeing/doing these places regularly it's always amazing to see them again when we have visitors stay with us & we see these all again through their eyes. It's almost like the 1st time again for us too.
Super contribution, indeed ! Gee, you folks are really gifted in this type of work ! Keep up the fantastic work .
Good video. I'm glad you left out the really good road trips in southern Alberta. Many thanks for that
Because I am resident of Calgary since 2005, I have done them all, except for David Thompson, both on my own as well showing to my out-of-province friends and not once but several times and my 'Volcano' has the mileage to prove it.
Ohh ....Incredible❤️..this video getting me exited to visist the one of the most beautiful sights
Writing on Stone to Cardston over the Milk River Ridge is a nice drive.
That's one place on our bucket list. Hope this year but the camping always seems to be sold out
@@MustDoCanadaOctober is a great time to go to Writing on Stone. The fall foliage is spectacular and there are very few people there. We went last year on the day after Thanksgiving at the start of the week and had the entire place to ourselves.
Love this video. As I live in Calgary I have done most of these drives, and the ones I haven't I will be doing this summer
Brilliant video! Thanks a lot, folks!
Nice! Very informative...Love it!!
Really great place thank you for sharing beautiful video.
Having lived in Alberta in the past for 13 years, I truly appreciate your coverage of this beautiful Province. Most people focus on British Columbia in the foothills of the Rockies, but they forget that the other side of the Rockies holds beautiful sights that beckons to be explored. Go and explore, it seems to say.
Totally, and we even missed the southeast, which we plan on covering this year
I totally agree. As I was saying above, I have been here since 2005 and can safely say that Alberta never disappoints.
I've watched this video three times, because I'm looking forward to visit Alberta!
Thanks guys and keep going! 😊👍
Really looking forward to the day you arrive! Hope it's awesome :)
Alberta will not disappoint ...
Road trip northern Alberta to see the northern lights..wood buffalo national park AB is the largest dark sky reserve in canada
What a great video. Loving and excited to be visiting soon.
Thanks! Hope you have fun
Great Video guys like always! We always love watching your guys travels and even know this is our home province too and have seen a lot we always learn something new. Out of all these trips we would say our favorite is David Thompson Hwy however these days it isn't so much a hidden gem anymore. Safe travels!
That's true, although I guess the lack of accommodation right now keeps it from getting even busier
You guys have a great channel. I love your videos. Thank you very much and keep up the good work!
Thank you :)
great info. Guys..thnks
Really amazing the picturesque landscape of Alberta. It's this fall that led me to fall in love deeply with Alberta as my son admitted to University of Calgary recently.
Oh, no way. That's so cool! Where is he coming from?
You forgot From Calgary on Highway 22x west to Kananaskis. Stop at Spruce Meadows if there is a show and hike at Ann and Sandy Cross. Then head to Priddis town and get some coffee then head to Azuridge hotel for some lunch. Keep going to Bragg Creek- lots to do there restaurants, BnB, mountain biking, golf, arts and fishing or horse back riding. Then head to Highway 66 for camping, fishing, atv, mountain biking and hiking. Lots of hiking trails there. AT the end of Highway 66 there is a gravel road that takes you to Highway 40 to Barrier Lake. You can either go back to Calgary or explore more of K Country such as Kananaskis Villageor to the Upper and Lower Lakes then take the gravel road to Canmore via smith dorian trail or Spray Valley. This can take 3 days if you want to enjoy your drive. There are lesser known roads but I will keep that to myself.
hahah yeah it's a good idea to keep some things to yourself as secrets don't last long now :) But yes, much more road trips for us to cover :)
These are all great road trips but, the best road trips in Alberta are down the gravel roads off the beaten path. 1 of my favorites is the forestry truck road along the Pembina river past Fairfax lake and the Coal Valley mine into the small town of Cadomin up to the Great Divide then back along the Cardinal River through Grave Flats before coming back to the forestry truck road. 4x4 vehicle recommended. This trip can be done in a loop with Banff-Jasper and The David Thompson Hwy.
My favorite is a road trip threw Road to the Sun in adjacent Montana
That's a greats spot too!
We use to do going to sun on our motorcycles back in the 80’s. Head into Moose’s Saloon in Kalispell and try and drink all there Coors. They just loved us crazy canucks back then
Beautiful province!
The landscape is breathtaking, hope to visit Alberta one day, Thank you for the nice Video.
You should!
You must, it will take your breath away ...
I like the drive to Banff and Jasper and ice fields the best 👌
Alberta is full of many Natural Wonders 🤩 😍
Excellent video! Thank you! 👍😉🇨🇦
Glad you enjoyed it
Big fan. 🤩
Planning my Alberta trip post lockdown and this video was really helpful. Would love to see a video about BC one day!
Us too! :) Hoping to at least do the kootenays this year
Lots of great ideas for the road trip we’re about to go on in a couple of weeks, thanks!
Sweet! Which one?
@@MustDoCanada we’re in Saskatoon, so going to Calgary, Banff, Golden, Revelstoke, down through the Okanagan, then back west through the crowsnest to Lethbridge and back home.
Beautiful Alberta! Let’s show you the Rockies and Drumheller! See all 15% of the province lol..beautiful but typical! Great video guys :)
Haha we get it but those are the best in terms of road trips :) we’ll be doing southeast this year. The north is a bit too long with little in-between
Nice decorations at wall
Amazing
Wow love to go there.
these are indeed great road trips but most of these types of videos never go North of Edmonton... there is A LOT to see and do up here and no one seems to know we exist. You should come up and take a drive around ...Kakwa falls is amazing. The Heritage village at the Dunvegan, hiway 40through Grande Cache
Love Agape from latinamerica 🇸🇻
outstanding
Very good info 🤗
Glad it was helpful!
Hello to both of you. I just happened to see this video while looking for some road trip videos of Alberta and Rockies. Loved this video. I recently got an inspiration to do this road trip and certainly it's in my vortex! I live in Ontario and haven't seen much of other provinces yet. I always felt very much attracted to Mountains and feel that I would love to live in Alberta, closer to the mountains!! Thank you so much for putting this lovely video. You both are very adorable and would love to see more of your trips in Canada. I feel that I have travelled more to US than Canada, but don't want to miss out seeing more of my own Country now! Thanks again and btw I subscribed to your channel too:)
Thanks so much for the kind words. There are lots of cool road trips here for sure. We often think of moving away but its the mountains that keep us here
@@MustDoCanada thank you for replying ❤️ don't move away and keep making these kind of videos that shows the beauty of nature especially mountains 😊
Can't wait to move to Canada, Calgary specifically and hit the road to see these amazing places.
How is it going? Okay, hopefully.
@@GeraldBeagan-ee6se it's great, thanks. I moved to Canada, but landed in Winnipeg for some time. But will eventually move west for sure. Thanks for asking tho
The whole loop of highwood pass is so great. Highest paved road in Canada I guess.
Yeah we can't wait to do it again this year
Small correction. You continue on Highway 1 (not Highway 2) past Lake Louise to get to the Icefields Parkway (Highway 93). Highway 2 is the main North-South highway connecting Calgary and Edmonton (and beyond). Just clarifying for people watching that are unfamiliar with Alberta.
Damn! thanks for letting us know. That's the worst part with videos is you can't correct them after
No problem! Awesome video I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Yes - thank you for that correction.
@@MustDoCanada That's all right, we all humans but Ryan was there to catch the mistake.
Amazing video....
Going to save me a lot of trouble trying to figure out on google where to go in alberta during holidays.
Another idea for video could be best lakes in alberta around calgary, Edmonton along with fun activities e.g most popular sylvan lake.
Appreciate all the hard work 👍👍
👌👌👌
Good idea! Might be able to do those this year :)
I went to Drumheller and badlands them I took the 3 til writing on the stone an pincher Cree, continue to ossoyo B.C. to the 97... Kelowna to reavelstoke and come bach by Canmore lake Louise. Wonderful loop.
Sounds like one helluva road trip.
shout out Guys. You are amazing couple. I always watching your video. I admired it..
Thank you so much!
Amazing videos guys. Can you please make a video of best road trips in Ontario?
We hope to do that, maybe this summer. But in the meantime we did do an article about it: www.mustdocanada.com/ontario-road-trips/
First time watching your channel. Great video guys!
Have you ever done a trip to and around Cadomin? A great caving experience to be had there!
Awesome! Never heard of it, where's that?
I still there is wall in your home which hang on it a map ? lol. , really you are always pleased me , My God bless you .
Thank you guys, once Corona is over my wife and I would love to tour Canada, I was trained at McGill in Montreal but I saw nothing during my training, it was working and studying 😩😩 only, but now we are ready to explore.
oh wow, but now you're a doctor, so that's impressive :) Where do you live now?
@@MustDoCanada I live in Saudi Arabia, I finished training in Orthopaedic in 1991 and I am here since then I am an overlander too we toured the western, part of northern, and part of southern of Saudi
Hi good days I’m new subscriber of your from Canmore Alberta Canada.
Awesome! you live in a beautiful place!
Great overview, thanks! I really want to visit Sundre and Ya Ha Tinda next time we fly to Alberta but I don't think any of the car rentals allow driving on dirt roads so I don't think we can. I'd love to see the wild horses.
Interesting. We'll try to find out
Awesome job again. I’ve been an Albertan all my life. 60 years. So much to see and do. You’d love the east side too. Cold Lake to Medicine Hat. And Elkwater and Writing on Stone park.
That's on our list for this year :)
All beautiful.
Lethbridge is nice
Love from India 🇮🇳
As always great video.
I have an idea of video for you for people without car : best « bus trip to discover Alberta » - by bus / shuttle / public transportation only.
I am currently working on planning my bus trip for this summer from Calgary to Jasper passing through Canmore and Banff, for 1 or 2 weeks I think (if possible of course due to covid 🤞🏻) and I found out it is not that easy to find transportation or activities that are accessible only by bus.
If you have any advices or recommendation please feel free to share ! 🤗
Good idea! Yeah, it's not easy for sure. Canada lacks bus-style transportation eh?
Such a great video!! Thanks for this. Can't wait to go back to canada and go to these places. Btw, have you guys been to Brazil?
Not yet but it's high on our list :) It must be incredible
@@MustDoCanada yes, we do have some pretty amazing places here in Brazil. Probably in a year or two Brazil will be safe to travel too. Right now it is a covid chaos down here :(
Lookin out my window from my house by the mountains near Jasper park. Now if this rain would just go away!
Lucky you!
I love it all, even the rain ...
J'aime ton video.
First again whoop!
Its heartly nice to watch your all videos and hence I like and comments your videos and its really nice and I understand and speak English well if English is spoken very fast , because we Indian speak normal speed English but its nice to hear your English language.
Thank you so much 😀
@@MustDoCanada , you are doing great exploring Canada country and its nature and beauty and I will like to Canadian villages and villagers and Canadians and its Will heartly nice .Mostly i drive vehicles in my country India but I always like drive motorbikes single its thrill in rainy season and winter season and Canadians roads and highways are great with full of nature and beauty which I heartly like it.
Such a cool country. This is my dream. I want live there. I want to be there. I WANT!!!! And I WILL!!!
Wish you the best
Alberta ist sehr schön. Würde gerne wieder Urlaub dort machen und meine Freunde in Lake Louise besuchen! Ich hoffe, dass man bald wieder nach Kanada als Tourist einreisen darf. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland!
In Summertime - DO NOT Take the Trans-Canada to Banff - take the 1A Bow Valley Parkway! It's the ORIGINAL Trans-Canada highway from the 1950's. It's MUCH more Scenic, although it's narrow and twisty - Fun on a Motorcycle, but usually much less crowded.
In Drumheller - You missed mentioning 11 Bridges Road (In the Guinness Book of World Records for the most Bridges in the shortest distance), and the world-famous Last Chance Saloon!
An experience is going on the ice road from Fort Mac up to Fort Chip.
That does sound exciting. I was born and raised in Fort Mac and never been to Chip
Hello guys, wife and I are planning to travel from Red deer to banff next week and I'm looking for recommendations for points of interest along the route. Also which route would you recommend better, the cowboy trail section or David Thompson?
Hmmm, so, the Cowboy Trail section would add about 45 minutes to your trip. I think it's worth it if you have the time. I mainly say that because highway 2 is really not scenic at all, as you probably know. It's super busy and people really fly on it. Cowboy Trail would slow things down a bit. More prairie scenery. Ranches. - The David Thompson would be the best, as it's not only super scenic but connect to the Icefields Parkway, giving you the chance to drive half of it to Banff. But, that one ads 2 hours, so almost doubling your drive time. If it doesn't matter, I'd go with David Thompson 100%
Wonder if anybody has considered the other side of the coin with regard to Alberta road trips? Such as the Special Areas and the Red Coat Trail?
As couple you guys look amazing. Keep giving us important information about Canada . Beautiful country to live . As a Indian-Canadian living in Canada it’s awesome
Thank you so much!
I totally agree! I have called Canada home for the past 49 years and for the last 25 a naturalized Canadian and consider myself the luckiest person in the world. Whenever I find myself overlooking a majestic landscape, my thoughts take me to what the First Nations Peoples must have gazed upon so many centuries ago.
Blessed by the Creator is this land we call home!
just wondering why you guys diddnt go to summit lake on the border of BC n Alberta at the crowsnest pass where a train derailed way back in the day into the lake and the hotel / bar thats half in Alberta n half in BC also the old hiway right at the lake in the spring their is a water fall that spills over the hiway its blocked off now but you can still walk too it great video guys
We actually had never heard of it! Sounds awesome though and yet another thing we wanna do this year now :)
Nice. What is the location at @3.35
Love from india
Hey guys, wow there are so many road trips you can go on in Alberta eh? I think you could spend six months straight there and still not get to every trip. One question, I’ve been thinking about our next vehicle and I am looking at full EV. I hear that you can go across Canada in an electric vehicle on the Trans Canada highway but can you let us know if and where any charging stations are in Alberta? I’d like to get an idea on how easy it would be to travel with an electric car. Thanks guys. ❤️🇨🇦❤️ Cheers!!!
Yes, so many road trips! Hmmm, we're not totally sure. We've seen them popping up though, sometimes at hotels. We haven't seen any big power stations, other than in Fort Macleod of all places
B.C and Alberta best places on earth.
👍👍👍👍
Do you have an itinerary for this road trip
A little bit here: www.mustdocanada.com/alberta-road-trips/
Nobody does winter road trips in AB its -30C
hahah in Calgary and the rockies, it's not that cold for very long. The mountains, in general, are awesome road trips in the winter
Steve Nash
haha now go tell Steve he looks like matt bailey
your wife's English pronunciation is soo different where is she from?
She is from Mexico City
Nobody drives to Lloydminster for fun.
haha I played football there a couple times
🤣🤣
Should have been called road trips in Southern Alberta
If ya got some Northern ones, let us know. I've driven to Fort Mac hundreds of times and it's not really a bucketlist road trip. Peace River is nice but the road trip itself? meh
i have never been anywhere outside the united sates. but after going to a sports convetion i want to go to alberta. one of the booths was "travle alberta" and had this video on a tv playing on loop ----> th-cam.com/video/ThFCg0tBDck/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=TravelAlberta after i saw it it makes me want to travle to alberta
