    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.

    • @VANTREKKINGlifestyle

    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.

    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.

    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. 🐕🐾🐾🐕

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.

    " 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....

    • @VANTREKKINGlifestyle
      @VANTREKKINGlifestyle  5 ปีที่แล้ว

    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👍.

    • @VANTREKKINGlifestyle
      @VANTREKKINGlifestyle  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    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.

    • @VANTREKKINGlifestyle
      @VANTREKKINGlifestyle  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Is there an iOS version? All we brought in this journey was our iPad Pros.

    • @JasonR007
      @JasonR007 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.
