Years ago, a few friends got together and drove from Salt Lake to Calgary, then on to Edmonton. We spent a fun week there before heading west to Jasper, Lake Louise, & Banff. I was complete blown away by the beauty. Penticton lakes had the bluest water, and 100 miles east of Vancouver we saw a sign that read; "Breathe mountain air at sea level." Every turn in the road brought more beauty. Vancouver was great, Seattle was Seattle, and we headed southeast to Boise & back to Utah. I have great memories of that trip. I still remember chesterfields and serviettes too!
watched this to see the road conditions and reducing the fear of doing the same road trip. thank you so much. it is encouraging to get into the road excitingly
...is David pakman hating prototype air turbine cars and solar/moon/hydro powered autopilot ai self driving ev cars as there ain't no gas stations up there unlike in the USA or on the Alaskan highway from Seattle to Fairbanks?
Great vid helped me decide to do this exact trip, went great , very smooth and yep 12 hours on the dot ,stopped for gas and bathroom breaks the same 3 places you did, thanks a lot !!
This really brings it home to me I find that the Praries have their own majesty especially if you arrive early in the morning just driving its incredeble really.

@@RandomizedEdits That's a nice offer, it'd certainly be appreciated. We've got lots of new videos coming soon but the process can be quite time consuming
I’m planning to drive on 29th of Nov and reaching Edmonton on 1st Dec this year. I’m little nervous about the road conditions and weather becoz it’s snowing and it is the first time I’m doing a long drive in this location. I’m not sure how will be the road conditions
nice, missed jasper though. A version with places to stop/view might be nice as well (helps people travelling with dogs). I've done it about 15-20 times and it never amazes me how beautiful the Rockies are
It's about one hour longer to go through Calgary. So if you take the TransCanada Highway from Vancouver to Calgary, then head north on Highway 2 to Edmonton, it will take 13 hours.
we left around 6am, don't think we saw any moose that time. We've seen moose there in the past though, over yellowhead pass, through the rockies. To see more wildlife in that area, spend the night in Valemount, BC, then hit the road at the crack of dawn and drive through the pass at feeding time.
We used a gopro with a gopro suction cup mount. We have 3 64GB micro SD cards, which hold about 5.5 hours of 1080p video each. We just pulled over to change the SD card, doing it without bumping the positioning of the go pro to make it seamless.
@@elihiebert3950 Thank you, I'll be moving to Edmonton from Toronto in August and planning to record the journey. It seems a GoPro would be just fine. I'll just need a few more micro SD cards.
@@muyaho420 Sounds nice, hopefully the quarantine is over by then. Most important thing for a summer drive through the praries is good wiper blades and lots of washer fluid. You get a bug in front of the camera and it wrecks the whole video

Here is a very good joke for you. Whenever you are in that part of Alberta. Where is the worst place to have a flat tire? In No Jack. If you look really closely on the road map. No Jack really does exist. It is on a section of the old highway there. It is so small. If you blink. you miss it.

I drove all across Canada but also Penticton to Edmonton and back a few times it was an epic drive the scenery was incredible.
I’m going from Fort McMurray to Vancouver! And I’m super excited!
I biked it by bicycle in 2015. It took 15 days. July 30, 2015 to August 12, 2015.
Must have been a fantastic journey. I'd love to have an accomplishment like that under my belt.

Gets to edmonton "oh fuck go back go back"
How long of time if pass Calgary for going to Edmontion ?
It's about one hour longer to go through Calgary. So if you take the TransCanada Highway from Vancouver to Calgary, then head north on Highway 2 to Edmonton, it will take 13 hours.
Coalition For Lower ICBC Rates, NOW! is on TH-cam.
At what time did you leave and dif you encounter any moose?
we left around 6am, don't think we saw any moose that time. We've seen moose there in the past though, over yellowhead pass, through the rockies. To see more wildlife in that area, spend the night in Valemount, BC, then hit the road at the crack of dawn and drive through the pass at feeding time.
What dashcam did you use? And did you have multiple SD card to record all of it?
We used a gopro with a gopro suction cup mount. We have 3 64GB micro SD cards, which hold about 5.5 hours of 1080p video each. We just pulled over to change the SD card, doing it without bumping the positioning of the go pro to make it seamless.

How many hours and whats your average speed
It took about 12 hours, going 100-120 km/h the whole way, probably averaging 115
@@elihiebert3950 thanks. i will be on my road trip this sunday. leaving victoria bc for good!thanks for your reply
Wonder how the drive will be from Edmonton to prince Rupert bc
I suggest you check out "12voltvids" his time lapse videos are most excellent for roads and scenery!

Edmonton to BC on the Northern route is better if you get to see the Sawtooths
Didn't you stop for food?
Yes but I edited it out. For example, 29:35
50:20 Edmonton AB
