    🇨🇦 I just had to stop after your first minute in and commend you on your proper grammar ! It shows so much wisdom 😊 “ Jimmy and I “ it’s refreshing to hear. Now back to the video 😂

    Hey guys, you’re playing in my backyard. I grew up in Calgary and have been everywhere you have seen recently. I’m 62 year old now, and am really enjoying seeing all this again through the eyes of youth. Hope your trip continues to entertain you both. I love my country…..I’m so glad you’re enjoying it. Cheers!

    Just re-watched all your content from the start. All caught up...again. 😂 I sure enjoy your journey. I'm so proud of you two. You remind me a lot of my husband and I. We have been great friends for 25 years. You have such a bright future. Lots of love from an Oklahoma momma. ❤

    I'm so glad you experienced our glacier, it's wonderful isn't it? The stunted trees that you passed on the way up is actually an ancient forest, stunted from the harsh climate. It's sad that it's melting so fast, in the late 60s or early 70s I remember my parents drove us passed the Glacier and it was right up to the highway. Don't forget to visit Athabasca falls just ouside of jasper, it's magnificent and free. The CN train station in Jasper is in use but is a historic and very beautiful to visit and the old steam train is parked outside; also free to wander in. Jasper also has a museum which is pretty cool. Watch for bear and elk. The elk like to stay in town.

    When you said the river is coming from the glacier you were just on you were wrong the Athabasca river comes out the other side of the glacier and that river is coming from a different glacier that flows into the Athabasca river

    So glad you did the glacier. That was a highlight for us in 2021. How did we miss that Jasper gondola? Now on our list for our 2024 trip. Loving your Canadian videos, and yes, there should have been red chairs at that spot. 😉

    I am not sure what your plans are for returning, but I have a few recommendations.
    1. Continue driving through to BC and check out Vancouver and Victoria areas. Then continue down through the USA (Glacial National Park on the USA side is beautiful, too).
    2. If you go back down through AB, don't forget to hit up Drumheller.

    You will have to come to the East Coast next time. The Atlantic Provinces offer different but just as incredible landscapes and outdoor activities. There’s tons of hiking, you can explore the Bay of Fundy, go whale watching, deep sea fishing, play in the Atlantic Ocean, see icebergs in Newfoundland, drive the Cape Breton Highlands in Nova Scotia, hike the Fundy Trail and visit the sea caves in New Brunswick, enjoy beautiful beaches and traditional lobster dinners on Prince Edward Island…I could go on for days. We also have innumerable festivals celebrating our diverse populations and you’ll meet some of the kindest folks on the planet. Have I sold you on it yet?

    I have visited the Icefields many times. The first time was when I was a child in the early 1960's when the glacier was almost all the way down toward the road. Back then we traveled in half tracks vehicles that looked like army tanks. They would stop over the large crevasses and we could look down 50 to 100 feet into the glacier. The Glacier is much smaller now.

    When i was a kid, 60's and 70's, when we were skating we would pick a hole in the ice with our skates and drink the water. We just put our lips to the water and sucked lol. So good and cold.

    You should also be aware that the glacier is a triple point. That is water flows from it to the Pacific Ocean, the Arctic Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean via Hudson Bay.

    Great video. Many years ago, I spent about 17 months over three deployments in Antarctica flying ski-equipped aircraft. I even landed on a glacier and visited the South Pole numerous times. (Actually in some respects, all of the ice-covered parts, which is most of the continent, is a glacier.) The tricky part is to stay on the flat areas which is generally free of crevasses.🥶 The whole experience was a blast.

    Beautiful. You’ve seen more than I, a Canadian, has. Wonderful to see through your eyes. The bus thing with the 5 foot wheels that took you to the glacier actually did have an accident, rolled down the side of the mountain, awhile ago so not always safe. There was death 😢. Glad you guys were safe.

  • @hf3490
    @hf3490 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    When I was there in 2017 we met a guy who told us that glacier used to come to highway and was 30 ft high. Sad that it’s disappearing! Glad you’re enjoying this beautiful country of ours. I do hope you get to see some of BC too.

    I enjoy your videos. I’d like to offer a photo/ video trick. When shooting glass and bodies of water I suggest using a polarizing filter to reduce reflections. And you will be pleasantly surprised what it does for blue skies. It doesn’t affect cloudy skies though.

    OMG Natalie you were so cute when you said theres cake at the bottom lol. The glaciers are pretty cool. I took my family there a few years ago. We only live north of Edmonton but we dont get out to the mountains as much as I would like. Theres nothing like waking up in the morning and enjoying a cup of coffee with that view!!

    Did you see any marmots on your hike? You were up around 8,000 feet ASL by the end of your hike, so no surprising to be a little short of breath.
    It is sad to see how fast the glacier is receding. I think the snow cats that went out on the glacier in the early 70's when I was first there took around 8 people.

    Yeah, I just started to need to turn on a light for my 0530 breakfast... still quite a bit of light as the day "should" end though.
    I also love that several times this video the "tour guide" sounded like they were Aussies... in Canada.
    Remember Altitude Sickness is a real thing. The higher you go the harder it is to breathe. So hiking at altitude... less simple.

    Some info for the climate change deniers. When I first visited this glacier in 1986 the "toe" was less than 100 meters from the side of the road. You could simply just walk onto the glacier. There is one more uniquely Canadian snack food you have to try: Hawkins Cheezies. Made in Canada and only available in Canada because they don't export them. The best cheese crisps on the planet.

    We went up to the Summit last year with my 3 year old, and I wore my 10 month old on my back. It was so rewarding to get to the top, good for you! Your last few videos (I know I'm behind) have made me tear up so much because it was the best summer of my life visiting the same areas. The Icefields Parkway is to die for, and I dream of the day when I can visit again. Thank you, once again, for your incredible videography to capture the beauty of the mountains. We also liked Morraine Lake better, and there weren't red chairs at the summit last year either!! lol

    Another great video! And did this bring back memories for me! I did your itinerary back in 1981. The difference was the skywalk was not built yet and the red chair concept did not yet exist. But I want to make a comment about the glacier. I was shocked to see how much the glacier has receded since I was there 42 years ago! For those who refuse to believe in climate change, they need to come to the Athabasca Glacier.
