highest point in canada
I'm thinking of free soloing PEI's highest point.
I believe that it is located on private land. Therefore it would be trespassing if you do not have the landowner's permission.
Pace yourself😬. You risk falls of over 1,000mm😱Since it is a solo climb with no room for error, use plenty of safety equipment. Good luck as you are tempting almost certain injury 🩹. Make sure people know when to expect you back, so they can call rescue services or uber. Leave a will. Good Luck😳
@@mikemead2315 there is no safety equipment while free soloing, the whole point is to just be on the rock with nothing else
@@chrishansen2409 Yikes! Even more dangerous than I thought!
@@bernardproulx706 I'm pretty sure there's a trail there
This video should be expanded and taught to every student in every geography class in Canada. I have live in this country for over 70 years and I didn't know any of that.
Idk if you are actually 70 or just a 10 year old
Oh I just checked your chanel
@@abbasjasim9065 i think he was eaten already
@@armaanwahab5076 My man got turned into steak! Better that than the meat lying around for nothing.
@@glatios Nice
Gros Morne in Newfoundland would have been a nice honorable mention since Newfoundland and Labrador aren't connected by land. It's 808m and takes about 5-7 hours to hike and the views are amazing.
is that a round trip hike or just up/down?
@@dtniland Round trip, but don't underestimate the elevation. It's a serious hike. Not for the faint of heart but worth it for the views. Absolutely must-do for Canadian hikers.
Meh.
The Lewis Hills are higher than Gros Morne. That being said the Gros Morne hike is more difficult than higher peaks I’ve hiked in the Rockies.
Thanks I was wondering exactly that
i live in Saskatchewan canada.. the high point is a farmers random farmers field.... i kinda excepted that but im disappointed all the same
No it’s a Cyprus hills. You can drive up there and look at the views
What about table mountain? 🤔
@@derekbader130 it’s not a table or a mountain and don’t even that high
@@primestopper126 haha, yeah I know. Just thought I'd throw it out there!
@@derekbader130 when I was young. I thought it was going to be an actual table. I also thought the magic carpet was going to be actual carpets going up and down the table and U could ride them
Man I was disappointed
Another point of interest about Mount Logan is that the Laurentian elites in Eastern Canada tried to rename this mountain Mount Trudeau. But the geologists in Canada rallied together to point out that Logan was probably a far more important person than Pierre Elliott Trudeau could ever think of being. And thankfully they stopped the process to change the name.
Yes good point!
Let’s not get crazy. Who do you thin repatriated our Constitution? Both Logan and Trudeau are important figures in their own right. PS - I’m a geological engineer that lives in western Canada. Chill on your hate.
@@steveeddy6876 One might as well have named it Mt. Fidel castro! lol
there is a mount trudeau near valemount BC
🦆 trudeau
Manitobas highest point is actually found in a very nice area! The Duck mountains are home to incredible blue lakes. Also, the tower at the top of Baldy mountain is home to some gorgeous views!!! It’s not very high but it’s a nice spot to visit!!!
i was gonna suggest a 'low points' video but i didnt want to doxx myself
Damn lmao
Low points. Making agreements with the USA.
@@speez6106 Huh?
@@newtfigton8795 shhh
@@speez6106
What does the USA have to do with any of this
"Not too much to see here other than the local cows" kinda sums up all of Saskatchewan.
Also, I've never heard anybody call Yukon "Yukon Territory", always Yukon. Tip for if you're ever going to make another Canadian provinces video.
LOL poor Saskatchewan, also the first line on Wikipedia's Yukon page says "Yukon, also called Yukon Territory" :P
@@ChicagoGeographer Wikipedia evidently wasn't written by Canadians
@@Aredtyg well yeah they dont have internet in canadia so
@@Aredtyg Maybe the locals call it Yukon only, but in Quebec where I live, I've heard ''Territoire du Yukon'' too.
My life goal is to climb to the highest point in Saskatchewan
Don't worry, if you get stuck the rescue people can still check in on you with a telescope from the other side of the province.
I'm setting my bar lower, PEI here I come :^P
Good Luck Trying
Youd be surprised that it's actually a great hiking area and the highest point between Saskatchewan and Quebec.
It’s actually the highest point in the prairie provinces that isn’t in the Rockies. Despite our highest elevation’s boring appearance, it is located in some very rugged hills that would remind you of the foothills of the Rockies. Went camping in the Cypress Hills last summer and it really is a beautiful place.
A wonderful video! So cool watching this. Can’t believe how fast youve been growing lately and can’t wait for more great content.
Mount Cheam in BC is an incredible peak as well, over 3000m in elevation, the drive/hike is an all day event but well worth it.
On a clear day I can see it off to the east. Beautiful! Do you live in Chilliwack too?
Informative and I love that it goes from "a walk in the woods" to "impassable arctic peaks". Also good job on getting pronunciations right!!
Well, no one from the Prairies says Sas cat CHOO an
Another fun video, thanks!
In Nunavut, on Baffin Island, the world's highest vertical cliff is on Mt. Thor, and it always surprises me that those big Baffin Island mountains really aren't that high even when they have the highest drop in the world. Weird geography!
Very Informative video! Thanks and appreciate it :)
Great video thanks for sharing this 👍🇨🇦
Lots of good information,thank you
Nice video! Straight to the point.
No wayyy bro thank you I was just hoping after watching your other videos like this that you would make one about Canada
Mount Robson is my favourite sight in the Canadian Rockies.
It rises over 10,000 feet straight up from the valley, not quite as much as some of the St. Elias peaks but still notable for any mountain worldwide.
100% agreed it's staggering elevation gain above the Yellowhead hwy makes it seem out of place in the Rockies.
It's summit is anti-climatic only from the aspect that all
the views are down cause the nearest mountains are still 500+ meters lower. That said it's still
a feather in any climbers hat. 1 of it's my outstanding features is it accessibility and rainforest like vegetation around it base.
Thanks for the info great Video 👍
Thank you very much for this video, which showed us information about Canada, a wonderful country with diverse terrain
Great video, man! 😍
Despite the dry material, I find you radiate passion about the subject you're discussing - what more could a viewer ask for?!
Keep up the good work. TH-cam needs more channels like this. 👍
As soon as I finished the US high point video about a week ago, I went searching for this video IMMEDIATELY only to find nothing...I am glad this popped up in my recommendations today! 😂
LOL awesome, thanks for watching!
You really threw your heart into this video. I appreciate how much work this took. Bravo!
Great video. Planning to hit up Ishpatina this summer and long-term (10+ year) goal is to summit all of the Cdn highpoints.
Nice, good luck!
Canada is truly awesome 🤩
One of the best TH-camrs out there!
I climbed that tower in Ontario. A friend of mine and I did the Lady Evelyn loop back in the 90's. It was there so up I went.
As an aside, this seems to be the only video on youtube that mentions Mount Caubvick, that might be the only subject I've ever searched with only one hit. Anyway, thanks for the video, very interesting.
Great video, interesting to see all the mountains in Canada. CG to the moon.
Great video, love maps. At around the 15 second mark there is a really nice map. Wish you could have added the highpoints to this map just to get a perspective of the distances between each high point and their respective locations in each providence and territory.
You deserve way more subscribers man
That was very interesting. thx
Well done video
This is such a cool video! Next video = you visiting all of these? 😏😂
Hahaha I'm not gonna rule it out 👀
If you get the chance to go to Mount Carleton in NB it is worth it! Its hikeable in a day and the views are gorgeous
I love your videos, makes me want to climb a mountain
Another great and informative video! Please do a video on Australia and its highest points in each state/territory.
I'm already gearing up for an expedition to ACT's highest summit!
I've only been to Ishpatina ridge... but suddenly I feel the need to explore the rest of these :)
The highest point on the Mainland of Nova Scotia is an old American Air base located in Beaverbank, check it out. The "Villa" is what we used to call it, now the only thing left is the old hospital turned nursing home.
I lived in the Villa. Nice view from the peak by the tower.
@@andrewbarter6463 Small world.
I love your name.
@@oilersridersbluejays Cheers
Are you perhaps referring to a different short of 'high' ;-)
Born and raised in NS and lived on both coasts, when I drove across I was surprised by 2 things, I was surprised at all the bedrock in Ontario and figured it was higher then anywhere in Saskatchewan, where I now live. I was surprised to see that as I drove from NS to BC my GPS kept showing me going higher and higher, which is exactly as it should be if the west coast is being pushed up
GPS provides location (longitude & Latitude) not elevation.
@@EdinburghFive my gps has an option for it, maybe not all do i guess
@@zaizoesclashing7103 Nice. I have an older GPS and it does not include an altimeter. I have a very old altimeter. Liquid filled and it attaches to my car windshield with a suction cup! Not sophisticated but it does the job.
Just 1 word
THANKYOU🤗
This is such an underrated channel, very entertaining content.
A cool thing about Baldy Mountain is that you can see the Riding Mountain National Park From there. (the Manitoba high point)
Ayyy you did more, also I got Geoguessr Pro!
Love to hear it!
did ishpatina ridge last year good hike for sure, There is marked trail and you can get close to the start of the trail if you have a 4x4
Ur doing such good content, u deserved more attention. :)
Thanks!
the Ishpatina ridge area is really nice...i try to head that way at least once a year during bird hunting season
Interesting that the highest point in Upper Canada (the old name for Ontario) is lower than the highest point in Lower Canada (the old name for Quebec).
Great video. Next time try and show the province borders on the map for those of us who are not very familiar with the country :)
Saskatchewan’s tallest point is amazing. There’s an amazing view over the hills and paries. Good for sunsets there is many good view
Bucket list of places to visit!
Thank you for this. I didn't know Manitoba had a high point. I spent a week there, one day.
How can it not have a high point? Every arbitrary area in the world would logically have a lowest and highest point. The surface of the Earth isn't polished smooth.
@@tomslastname5560 Wow! You need to grow a sense of humour. The last two sentences in that statement were pure sarcasm. You must be missing a lot in life.
@@BLAKHARTFILM , that went right over his head.
Beautiful canada!
"An unnamed point in the woods" 😆 that sounds about right
Nova Scotia is considered a part of “mainland’ Canada, despite Cape Breton being an island.
Informative video. Good work.
My wording was a bit unclear there, I meant that Ontario's high point was the first one on the mainland, not that Nova Scotia is not part of the mainland. Glad you enjoyed!
The main land is west of Quebec , Quebec is Quebec and east of that are the ocean dwellers
@@carterme5803 and still further east, they're all Newfies!
Istg your voice sounds like Alternate History Hub.
Continue with this series! It's very interesting
Your Newfoundland pronunciation is the best I've ever heard from someone outside the province lol
Nice to hear Kryten got some voice-over work.
Ishpatina Ridge in Ontario was originally called Tip Top Hill !!
good video
Have you considered doing any GeoGuessr records for Canadian maps?
I've tried out the Canada province streak format on Twitch a few times, lots of fun but I'm not so great at them lol
Thanks for posting, that was interesting. I live in Québec and makes me think of Mt-Albert in the Chic-Chocs..
I Can't Wait For The Tallest Mountain In Every Country Of Africa Video!
As a South African It's Pretty Easy To See Why I'd Be Siked For That. :D
You Are Gonna Be Big One Day.
Why’d u write all starting words in caps?
@@psyche1182 It's a Habit Of Mine, No Idea Where It Came From But It Is What It Is.
Cool vid! ...not bad on the pronunciations either.. ;)
Quebec - Mont Mégantic 1105 m Monteregian Hills on the St Lawrence lowlands 45°27'20.5"N, 71°9'7.6"W Ontario - Ishpatani Ridge 692 m ~ 20 km SW of Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Prov park 47°18'59.0"N 80°45'14.0"W
I wish you would've added my home island of Newfoundland. I know Labrador is technically part of the province but most of us consider it a separate thing. The highest point is in the lewis hills at 814 meters and is a fantastic hiking spot that is a world-renowned geological site. Our island often get's forgotten but I think it rivals BC and Alberta in terms of beauty.
Well it’s actually the highest point in your province.
Your province is called Newfoundland and Labrador, not The Rock Featuring Some Sand Beside Quebec.
@@oilersridersbluejays dude you've left disrespectful comments on everyone mentioning Newfoundland, what's your issue?
@Dhernize not my fault you offend easily.
@@oilersridersbluejays Not offended mate, just laughing at the 15 hate comments you left on Newfoundland and their people in this comment section. Rent free much? LOL
Information worth knowing.
Alright! Toronto Winter Olympics. Downhill skiing events on the Ishpatina Ridge!! Let's go TO!!
once i reached the the top of the 2nd highest point in Quebec
it kinda was what started my love for hiking

NS - 532 m White Hill, Cape Breton National Park 46°42'08.0"N 60°35'55.0"W
You forgot mount waddington in the coastal mountain range
Informative video. One tip: I'm pretty sure Nunavut isnt pronounced noonavoot (the joke goes "Nunavut is having none of it" because they sound similar) :)
Good job on Newfoundland though
It is "Noon a voot" when it is said on the news. Maybe an Inuit will explain we have it wrong one day....
I thought Nunavut was east of Sumavut and north of Allavut.
Actually it is pronounced Noon-a-voot…
Awesome
PEI - 140 m SE of Glen Valley 46°19'52.0"N 63°25'09.1"W NB - Mt Carleton 820 m Mt Carleton Prov park 47°22'40.8"N 66°52'32.7"W
Beautiful highest points in each province and territory.
In ontario me and my freinds climbed the fire tower? It was dark but I didn't see any signs saying we couldnt
In about 1981 or 2 we paddled canoes from Bear island through Lake Temagami and others to reach Lady Evelyn lake home of that tower in Ontario. At the time we called the mountain Maple mountain we even climbed the tower. Hmm glory days.
Please do one on each Australian state and territory?
im not from canada but this was intrestin cou;d you do scotland next please
Wouldn’t you only have one peak?
@@jttg Ben Nevis !
Look for a lot of energy in BC Canada due too John Hichison laboratory was there.
12,972.44 feet high is Mount Robson, they never bothered to include that data however did state it was the highest mountain in the Rockies chain.
Highest above sea level in Canada's Rockies. Notable for being the highest anywhere in the Rockies above its base (called "prominence") more than 10,000 feet due to the very deep valley beside it. Mt Columbia has a similar prominence above the Bush River in nearby BC, as do many other peaks near to it.
Interesting facts
As a Manitoban, "I got this. I'll use my car." :-)
Do more videos on Canadian geography Canadians love talking about Canada 🍁
That's why Canadians are so boring! LOL!
You sorta lumped Newfoundland and Labrador in with Quebec which a very big no no. So here is my Newfoundland honorable mention, Lewis Hills Western NL at 814m even though Gros Morne is more popular but only 806. I'm not sure what point of Labrador is highest without sharing it with Quebec.
What ski hill is at 0:23
3:32 just look a bit west of the mountain and you see amo...
Today I put the St. Elias range on my bucket list.
Because it was left out, the highest point on the Island portion of Newfoundland and Labrador is an area known as the Cabox, its a part of of Appalachian Mountain Range located on the West Coast near Gros Morne National Park at a height of 812 m.
It’s not the hugest point in the province. That’s why it was excluded…
@@oilersridersbluejays as stated, the Cabox is the highest point in the Island portion of the Province. This isn't debatable.
Yeah well it’s still not the highest point in your province so it doesn’t really matter.
That’s not debatable.
@@oilersridersbluejays the highest point in the Eastern portion of the Island portion of our Province is Centre Hill, located near the town of Sunnyside.
I grew up about a half hour from baldy mountain been up there 100s of times
I'd love to get to Torngat Mountains NP. Thank you for using the Canadian two letter postal designations.
I need such a video for all provinces of the Netherlands actually :D
LOL ! (including the ones that are below sea level?)
@@mikesgoodmann9349 There is no province in The Netherlands with its highst point below sea level ;) It's not THAT bad here LOL
There is SO MUCH beautiful, vast wilderness in Canada!

I'm planning to launch an expedition to the highest summits of Q.R., Campeche, and Yucatan. care to join?
Do you have an equivalent video for the 50 states and territories of the USA?
