Living in Alberta, Banff and Jasper are my "backyard"! We go every year camping there to feed our souls! This year the weather has been CRAZY!! We usually get temps. in the 70-80 F in late June and July/August. Us Albertans cannot believe the cold spell and wet weather that has plagued us for over a month. Come again for our usual sunshine and warmth!
You are very lucky to live in such a beautiful place. We didn’t spend as much time there as we would have liked, I could have just stayed there and it would have been a successful trip. We will definitely go back and spend more time. Thanks for watching.
Banff is a personal favorite of mine, my late wife and I strolled around the Cascade Gardens and the gardens at Lake Louise! Thanks for bringing sweet memories! ❤️
VAN TREKKING lifestyle Indeed they are sweet! After 47 years and two fine sons, I realize what a rich full life I’ve been blessed with. BTW Carolyn was pregnant with our first son as we strolled....
Getting warmed up for my Alaska adventure (one of these days) by watching your series while on my exercise bike, winters in Michigan are what you make it, and I am pretty much stuck in the house taking care of the husband. So, everyday I cross another date off the calendar; that is one day closer to spring 😉. This Alaska series is so nice, loving it 🚗👍
Glad you are enjoying our Alaska adventure. It was my most favorite trip and we would encourage everyone to go. We loved it so much we want to go back. I watch videos too when using my elliptical, it’s a great way to excerise.
So enjoying your videos and little Maggie. Very similar in size and breed to our Marley until she passed and we miss her companionship. Keep enjoying life on the road, I think we are meant to enjoy the good things in life, and travel videos have been my salvation for some time now because of my husband’s stroke. Miss the adventures we shared and it will happen again one day. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing so many special trips in your Travato van. Hopefully someday I’ll purchase one and see some of the wonders God has created as you have!
Glad to hear you enjoy traveling with us, it really doesn’t what you travel in it the places you get to explore . Safe travels to you in your motor home.
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle thanks for your reply,hope to be your neighbor on the road one day.Or you can come mooch camp at our place located within ten miles from oleano and lots of springs in florida.We did buy a 17 inch blackstone maybe ebikes in the future.Jim Kathy and our furry child Camy
Loved traveling with you to Banff. What a nice place to go. It’s beautiful there in Alaska even when it snows in June. Beautiful trail. The rock climber scared me because I thought they were going to fall. Thank his they didn’t. See you both again soon.
Banff was awesome, it was such a good stop on our way to Alaska. We loved watching the rock climbers and are very amazed by it. We appreciate you watching.
Hey Owen & Lynn, we are watching all your videos going to Alaska. We are planning our first Alaska RV trip from Tallahassee Florida. Enjoying your videos. It's been a beautiful trip with you. Thanks!
Thankful for the lift I get for traveling along in your pockets.I'll be 71 in Oct. and haven't the guts to do what you are doing, but have always wanted too. Carry on citizens, perhaps my restless paralysis will break through and I WILL JOIN THE LIVING!
The Icefield Parkway will be our next video, it was absolutely amazing. It had snowed the night before witch added to the spectacular drive. Thanks for watching.
You made my rainy slow Sunday exciting and new with this fabulous trip today, Maggie is quite the good sport leading the way safely for mom and dad...really liked seeing the town and the aquamarine colored water...noticed Maggie approved and drank it. Be safe, find Starbucks and send more! Bless you friends. 🐕🐾🐾🐕
We are so glad you a joining us on our trip it has been amazing so far. It’s funny that no matter where we are if there is water Maggie wants to get in it and take a drink, it always makes us smile. We have never seen water that color or that beautiful. Thanks for watching and for your support.

" I like my dog and maybe three other people!" We think alike Owen! Seriously, this trip is amazing! The scenery, the road conditions, the weather. I'm jealous! I originally started following your vlog after researching the Travoto, but have fallen in love with your life style and sence of adventure! Maggie is kind of cool too! So far the van seems rock solid. Two more years and my wife and I can follow in your footsteps. Thanks for sharing all your adventures! Safe travels....
Thanks Dean. So far the van has just been perfect. In Alaska it has been off road and taken on some major adventure highways with no real issues. Glad you’re part of the crew. 2 years will fly by. :-)
Wow you guys are in for sooooo many awesome sights yet to come. Thanks for sharing and Love reliving my trip to Alaska through you two. Great job. Hi Mags. Sure hope I'm one of the three people you like lol😂‼️
We are so loving this trip it keeps getting better and better. Tell Charlie hello from the Poteat’s. I hope all is well with and your family. Thanks for following along.
Maggie says hello back to Ember. Sitting at Walmart after Dalton trip. Smoke from fires is pretty thick here. Miss you guys too. Can almost see Banks 😂
Great memories of visiting Banff 20 years ago with a work colleague from the UK for a industry meeting, really need to visit again with my wife when we retire. Hope you get to Lake Louise and get on to the Athabaska Glacier. Wonderful country.
The Canadian Rockies exceeded our expectations in every way. We did make it Lake Louise, which will be in our next video. Thanks for watching and commenting.
This area was so different than anything we had ever seen, which made it even more amazing. The more we travel the more we realize what a diverse world we live in. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Loved it. Thanks for taking us along! I’m slowly catching up as I’m way behind on my video watching! Enjoying this so much. That bear sign would scare me! that like is gorgeous. Love that there’s a bench there to enjoy it. I could listen to water running 24/7/365. Question: are the puffy jackets waterproof? I’d love to be somewhere as cool as that right now....here in VA on June 20th it’s over 96 (I think it’s hotter than that in reality) and feels like 106 !!!!!! Another scorcher tomorrow too. Take care and be safe. Hugs to all.

Trip of a lifetime. So cool and the temp too. I’d eliminate 1 person from the 3 and maybe add another dog🤣. I’m surprised you didn’t get a left jab from Lynn on that one. Thank you so much for the ride along. Love your videos. Oh sorry forgot to ask, how are those grills working out for you? Gonna pull the trigger on one and value your opinion👍.
I’m with you on more dogs. :-). The grill created an awesome steak but also kind of caught in fire too from grease. Might have been user error. I’m torn as to whether it was a good purchase as of right now.

Oh my God that was a beautiful video right from the start. I need to go West. Been down East many times but I think it’s time I see the Rockies. Thanks for sharing guys. Cheers!!!
Everyone needs to have the Canadian Rockies on their bucket list. I’ve never seen anything like it, it’s truly amazing. I hope you keep following along on our journey.
Try using a free program called, "Handbrake" to resize your videos smaller and you also get optimize the quality for the platform your going to upload too when your resizing as well with, Handbrake.
I believe there is, but I think the version for an Ipad costs something. Try searching the IOS store for it too see. I do not use Apple any longer for a long time to know an exact answer. Handbrake for the desktop/laptop for both PC/MAC I know is free though.

We are having a blast... it’s hard not to in such a beautiful place. Thanks for riding along.
Beautiful 😀❤
The video does not do it justice, but we keep trying. Keep watching it get even more beautiful, if you can imagine. Thanks for following along.
We drove the Icefield Parkway in late May and all the lakes above about 6000 where still frozen over.
The Icefield Parkway will be our next video, it was absolutely amazing. It had snowed the night before witch added to the spectacular drive. Thanks for watching.

Incredible sights! Banff is on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing your experience there. Enjoy the rest of your trip!
The Canadian Rockies should be on everyone’s bucket list. I’m not sure why it took us so long. Thanks for the kind words and for watching.
I sure am enjoying these videos, I feel as if I'm in lockstep with you the entire time.

If you liked Banff you willlove Lake Louise, just a 45 minute drive away.
We did love Lake Louise, it was amazing. Check out our next video to see that.
Great camera work it looks beautiful safe travel
Thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching.
Beautiful scenery. Great video. Miss you guys :). Ember says hello to Maggie!
Maggie says hello back to Ember. Sitting at Walmart after Dalton trip. Smoke from fires is pretty thick here. Miss you guys too. Can almost see Banks 😂
Great memories of visiting Banff 20 years ago with a work colleague from the UK for a industry meeting, really need to visit again with my wife when we retire. Hope you get to Lake Louise and get on to the Athabaska Glacier. Wonderful country.

What, no rock climbing? Just kidding. Loved the video. Thanks so much again for sharing. You two are so pleasant to watch.
Thanks for the kind words. Too scared of heights for rock climbing, but it’s fun watching someone else. \
Hey buddy, loving the videos. Banff is on our visit list, as are so many other places. Just got back from Florida yesterday. Safe travels my friend.
Florida was warm I bet. Just our luck but Alaska is breaking all kinds of records for high temps right now.
Funny🤣-"I like my dog and maybe three other people"-me, myself, and I.
Glad we made you smile. “Me, myself and I” is a good one. 😁
I hear that there’s a heat wave in Alaska! Safe travels from the Great Lake state. Preparing for GNR.
It’s in the 90s. And wildfires. Smoke is pretty thick. We will assess and head to clearer air quality. Have fun at the GNR.
Trip of a lifetime. So cool and the temp too. I’d eliminate 1 person from the 3 and maybe add another dog🤣. I’m surprised you didn’t get a left jab from Lynn on that one.

Hey, you might consider Google Fi, same rate everywhere in the world with high-speed 4G LTE data.
We have not, but we will check it out. Thanks for sharing the information.
I'm planning a trip to Alaska in the next couple of years.. I will follow your adventure.. Where do you get your music?

We left the middle of June.
