    That was another great river trip from Red Deer to Sundre. I thought it would have been longer. I enjoy watching your trips. I get right into it lol Thanks for sharing.

      Thank you, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. This is a pretty part of Alberta. Coal Camp is a tiny community west of Sundre... it makes for a short day trip. I hope to do the trip from Sundre to Red Deer next year. That one would probably be a three day trip. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Take care.

    Another beautiful trip with a few tricky spots to navigate. There are places where the river spreads out into several small shallow streams and then just a minute later they all converge and turn into a substantial river. I love watching it change like that. When I saw you post this video I was half expecting a smoky sky but it looks spectacularly clear and blue. Perfect weather for a day on the river. Thanks for sharing a peaceful trip down the Red Deer.

      Thanks very much Robbie. This was a nice September day, mostly sunny and not much wind. The water levels were fairly low and it made it interesting in terms of choosing the best channel. At this water level, it seemed like a very dynamic river. It was shallow, but thankfully I did not hit many rocks or bottom out. Yes, no smoke during this trip!! It had been hazy recently, but clear on this day. Thanks again, take care.

      It was a wonderful day for some paddling Terry. A perfect fall day, and enough water in the river for canoeing. Take care my friend.

    Looks like a nice fun run Nick! Well done man!

    • @nickharland3795
      @nickharland3795  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah it was a nice run with good current for the most part. I got lucky with a pretty nice day too. Possibly the last paddle of the year. Thanks, take care.

    That’s a nice stretch. Have done plenty of sections in the badlands never this part further upstream. Adding that to the 2025 itinerary! Thanks!

    • @nickharland3795
      @nickharland3795  หลายเดือนก่อน

      This was a nice day on the river. All of the large rapids are upstream of this put-in, but there is potential for some sweepers and logjams. All in all, it is a very nice section. Thanks for taking the time, take care.

    Hey Nick, very relaxing trip. I must say I really appreciate when you tell us where you start and where your takeout point is because right away I grab my phone and I look for those locations. Thank you for another exciting video! Frank--Alberta

    • @nickharland3795
      @nickharland3795  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah this is a relaxed trip compared to the sections above. It makes for a nice day trip. Documenting the rivers is my objective. I'm glad to hear that you look up the locations. Thanks Frank, I appreciate you taking the time.

      Hi Miller. Yeah everything is good here, doing well. I hope you had a nice summer too. Yes, the canoeing season is closing quick, maybe one more trip if I am lucky. Always nice to hear from you Miller, take care.

    Hey Nick, it’s Jamie. Can’t get into my other TH-cam account, had to create this one. Glad to see you’re getting some excellent trips in this year. Thanks for sharing and be safe out there.

      @nickharland3795  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Greg. It was a nice run in late season flows. There is good current for most of the run, though it does slow in the second half. I got lucky with a mostly sunny day and not much wind. I hope you are having a nice September. Have you been out fishing lately?

    • @rockatman
      @rockatman 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@nickharland3795 its excellent, thanks. Been out checking on the walleye but don't seem to be in the fall run yet. I'll let you know if I find them, you'd be welcome to join.

    Do you know the cms the day you paddled this run?
    Take care

    • @nickharland3795
      @nickharland3795  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It was 27-28 cms on this day. Thanks, take care.

    Such a beautiful river. How long did it take you?

    • @nickharland3795
      @nickharland3795  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah it was a nice run at this lower level. Three hours maximum. I took a few breaks and never really noted my start time, but I'm sure the paddling time was less than three hours.

    Is that in the area that the grizzly bear attacks occurred

    • @nickharland3795
      @nickharland3795  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That would have been a fair distance up-river from here. In or around the Banff National Park boundary I think.

    Hey Nick, Love your videos by the way. When you say the river is 28 cm/s, is that a speed or is it like volume cm3? Just curious also how you measure that? Thanks!

    • @nickharland3795
      @nickharland3795  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you very much, I appreciate it. It is a description of volume. 28 cubic meter per second. The provincial government has a website that monitors river levels and flow rates. They have gauges set up that calculate river width, depth and speed in order to determine the volume. That is where I get all my numbers.
