Im picking up my first Westy soon and your videos are hyping me up so much! The waterfall camp spot is unfathomable.
Thanks Jack, getting into the Westy is gonna be great! Enjoy!
Nate
That campsite was amazing! The waterfall was gorgeous (& loud) and how awesome to have a front row seat. 😃 I miss the PNW & majestic mountains, coast, so I visit vicariously through you two! Thanks
Thanks Cheryl! You'll have to get back out to the PNW soon!
nate

Both, Port Alice and Bella Coola added. Thanks for sharing.
Good call. You won't be disappointed
nate
What!?! There's a part ||| as well - staying tuned. Those waterfalls were awesome. I recently saw a black bear near Ollalie Lake!
Yeah part three has some pretty epic views as well. I’ve never seen a bear out there. Lucky!
Nate
DANG. That waterfall campsite was amazing.
Wasn't it? Even with the bears and mosquitos it was pretty awesome 😁
nate
Love these videos! Such an inspiration.
Thank you so much Ian, we appreciate it.
nate and nancy
Looks like some great adventures. Also seems like it's time for a T3 heavy duty sway bar upgrade.
It was a great adventure! Yeah we will need to wait and see! 😁
nate
Magnifique ❤
Thank you 🙏🏻
Nate
Now that waterfall campsite was just awesome, I'd hate to leave that place.... You guys had an fantastic trip.......waiting for the next episode.......
It was pretty amazing. If it would have been a bit warmer, the pool would have been great to relax in. Of course it was unseasonably cold while we were there 😂
nate
Just watched them both guys.
Talk about beautiful country side, & I think the poor car will need a good clean when you guys get home 👍
It is amazing up there. We are still finding Tahsis road dirt in every crevasse under the van :)
nate
Enjoying your trip, as you are going places that's out of our reach, as we live in Denmark and Canada is a bit far to travel in our Cali 🙂
Absolutely love the first campsite on this video. Just by a waterfall. Lovely.
Thank you! Yeah it was a good one for sure!
Nate
What a great adventure! Did you guys manage to get to Tallheo hotsprings near Bella Coola? It's an epic spot and well worth a visit!
Thanks Glenn. The hot springs were on our list but with the rain and our schedule, we couldn't make it work. We were a bit bummed but gives us a reason to come back!
nate
Nate makes for a skinny bear. Those are the unpredictable ones.
Haha, very true! 😁
nate
AMAZING serene peaceful landscape ty you both for sharing this journey look forward to part 3✌️
Thanks!!
Nate
Looks like a great time! I've been wanting to drive my 1980 aircooled westy to Bella Coola (from Vancouver), now thinking that ferry trip may be great one way :) If you drove back, hope you checked out Farwell Canyon!
I am embarrassed to say that we did not visit Farwell Canyon and it was on the top of our list. Part three shows where we ended up but I do regret not getting out there. But it is not that far of a drive from our house and we plan on getting out to it! Thanks for watching!
nate
The downside to camping next to a waterfall, is it's damp. But I'd probably camp there lol!
It was damp everywhere there due to the rains but yeah I could see it always being a bit damp due to spray. It was a great spot for sure.
Nate
I was looking for trout. ;-)
The local who told us about the bears by the river in Bella Coola was down fishing for trout I think.
Nate
Fun fact: Bella Coola is also the same place where Bruce Banner stayed at at the end of The Incredible Hulk.
I saw that when I was researching Bella Coola! He was there because the natives were the Nuhalk peoples (new Hulk).
Nate
@@ThatBaldwinLife I meant the movie but yea.
Yeah that’s what it’s from. It was a play on the word Nuhalk
@@ThatBaldwinLife Ok now I get it. Ironic because Hulk didn’t get a sequel after that.
😁
Whats the name of the falls and the road to get there at port alice?
I do not know the name of the falls but they are on the only road heading south out of Port Alice.
nate
There is nothing that you showed about Port Alice except a camping space nearby? How long was the drive from the main highway on Vancouver island to Port Alice? What month did you travel for the weather?
This wasn't a video about Port Alice, it was just one of the places we went to on our trip up to the ferry. There really isn't much more in town than we showed, a small market and some houses really. The drive is not long and you can use Google maps to see what it might take you to get there. We didn't factor weather into our travel plans, it was just when we could get up there. I believe we went in July.
Take care
