25 Mile HIKING TRIP in the City

[@dktlls97]

I admit, I was on the fence if I was gonna be interested in this (I’ve thought about doing this before) but I realized it really doesn’t matter where you are. It’s the mindset, and I think this is a good visual of you taking the life lessons from the trails and turning them into fruition of the these positive videos. Thank you, Man!

[@JustinOutdoors]

I was on the fence too! haha. But it was a ton of fun. I think treating it as if it was a full day in the mountains helped - with route planning, having a longer day, and outfitting for hiking. I've been doing a lot of shorter walks/runs around the City, but they are not the same. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dktlls97]

Justin Outdoors By the way Canada looks beautiful !

[@rickfromvirginia]

That was awesome! A good reminder showing that kind of hiking can be done by anyone. It just proves that you don't always have to be out in the wilderness to enjoy a hike! As always thanks for sharing your adventures! Looking forward to your next one! Rick from Virginia

[@JustinOutdoors]

Just finding some green space close to home and getting out for some fresh air is so nice!

[@cimarronwoo]

Thank you. That was a neat trip. Including the map to follow your progress was a helpful.

[@JustinOutdoors]

Glad you enjoyed it! I'm hoping to make the map-aspect a bit better moving forward. I love seeing maps too!

[@jaredcampbell]

What a great idea! I live in Vancouver and could totally do something like this. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@JustinOutdoors]

No problem! It was a lot more fun than I expected, haha!

[@NickandRachel]

Awesome video man! Thanks for sharing

[@JustinOutdoors]

You betcha!

[@NickandRachel]

@@JustinOutdoors we have a good time being outdoors also. Can't wait to get back to normal.

Another great video! Hi from Brazil!

[@JustinOutdoors]

Thanks! Tudo Bem!

[@OutdoorTherapy2020]

Parcour! That made me laugh...It's good to see your still going outside brother

[@JustinOutdoors]

Trying to do so while staying safe and responsible!

[@WannabeAlpinist]

Great video. I moved to Colorado from Florida and became a lot more serious about hiking. I got into 14,000 foot peaks (climbed 35 my first year) and now have got into ice climbing. Just recently I began publishing KZbin videos of these experiences and I have never been happier. There was a ton of discomfort involved, but the pay off is priceless. Keep at it!

[@JustinOutdoors]

I'm jealous of the 14ers! In the Canadian Rockies, things top out at 11k, but they are pretty technical peaks! I've been getting into mountaineering and it really opens up a lot of doors!

[@WannabeAlpinist]

@@JustinOutdoors Hell yeah man, keep at it. Technical climbs are the best! Subscribed.

[@jennifermorris7195]

Great video! I live at the bottom of Nose Hill and definitely don’t spend enough time exploring there. I will make more of an effort for sure now, thanks for the reminder and inspiration!

[@JustinOutdoors]

It's a neat spot! With the fog cover when we were there, it felt MASSIVE. Between Nose Hill, Fish Creek, and the river pathways, we have some pretty neat natural areas in the City!

[@25inspector]

Just discovered your channel. Really nice to see there are others who enjoy urban hiking in Calgary as much as I do. Really great video.

[@irreverentrn2401]

I absolutely loved this video!! I lived in Calgary in the 90’s and I lived just across the street from Nose Hill! Thanks so much Justin!

[@singletrackmap]

Makes me miss Calgary and all the great hidden natural spots in the Bow River watershed. Thanks for the great video

[@JustinOutdoors]

So many cool hidden spots!

[@rasmusronsholdt4511]

Super inspiring video. Trying to do similar things in and around Copenhagen. Thanks!

[@JustinOutdoors]

Glad you enjoyed it! I went out on another hike-about yesterday and it was really rejuvenating :)

[@thewandererbeats]

Love the trip and like Mark said, really awesome seeing the route on the map!

[@JustinOutdoors]

I'll make sure to keep including them!

[@southpawhammer8644]

Now this I can do! Thanks for the ideas. I can only get out of the city a few times a year, cause I'm an adult with adult stuff to do. LoL

[@daddydaughteradventures4326]

Great video! I’m planning to do the same Thursday or Friday with my 2 girls. We live in Chestermere and will take the Western Headworks canal path to Max Bell arena. Loved seeing Calgary represented! Keep up the awesome videos!

[@JustinOutdoors]

Nice! That'll be a fun trip! Enjoy!

[@BernardWilson-dp6sr]

I did a 21k or 13 mi if your south of Canada. I experienced my city as I never have before. The key is to hike your city to explore and not caring about time or distance. Have fun

[@BackcountryForward]

I love you... but I miss seeing you in the mountain. That Douglas fur factoid was cool. Good on you to Keep Moving Forward!

[@JustinOutdoors]

I miss seeing me in the mountains too Jesse!

[@trytheoutdoors]

Brilliant. Thank you for sharing 😊😊

[@JustinOutdoors]

👍😀

[@yurijanssen2148]

Holy moly thats some flashy shoes along with some flashy pants! ;) and an interesting way to separate people with that Canadian Separator haha!

[@JustinOutdoors]

Didn't want to be sneaking up on anyone! haha

[@leungbrad]

Way to make the best of the lockdown!

[@JustinOutdoors]

Love you!

[@martymorissette]

Parkour!!!! (The office style) haha

[@JustinOutdoors]

I'm extreme! haha

[@AmyRoutt]

I love that you did this. I haven't been getting out and I've thought about doing this to stay in some kind of shape for the JMT. I'm definitely getting out of shape. Oh, also love the hardcore parkour. It made me laugh

[@JustinOutdoors]

I hear ya, I've been trying to stay in shape but it's crazy how much daily movement adds up. Even with daily running and exercise, it's not enough to make up for the lack of walking and moving I'd otherwise be doing in addition. I was surprised at how fun a day of random walking would be! Try it!

[@AmyRoutt]

@@JustinOutdoors 25 mi is a good distance too!

[@harryhayen6092]

Great idea and great video! We went out for 4 dayhikes last weekend from Friday to Monday and had a great time in the wood ... BUT ... the huge difference is ... you have ice in your beard and we have sunburn on our nose ;-))) We live in the middle of Bavaria/Germany and had 20-25°C ;-)))

[@JustinOutdoors]

I'm jealous of your weather! Dang! 20-25C would have been great on that trip!

[@harryhayen6092]

@@JustinOutdoors ... and I'm jealous for the wide and never ending land ... BUT ... the major downside in Canada would be that it is not that easy to end a nice hikingday with a good bavarian beer in a Biergarten under some trees ;-)))

[@awalkintherockies9475]

Ah you inspired me to map out something in Cochrane. ! I’m following the rules of social distancing very seriously but I think this would be a safe activity maybe I’ll head out at 6 am lol.

[@JustinOutdoors]

I've been taking it very seriously as well. I'm glad to hear others are! It can be frustrating seeing some people flout the recommendations and laws, but we can only control ourselves! Are some of the trails around Glenbow open? I love hiking around there!

[@awalkintherockies9475]

Glenbow is currently closed 😞 I usually do all my “training” there during the winter. I can’t wait to go back when it reopens!

[@miyahosaka8361]

Man, I don't get to see much wildlife while hiking and have definitely never gotten to see a Dinosaur! Luuuuuucky. Thanks for showing that a person can always choose to make the best of a bad situation.

[@JustinOutdoors]

Didn't you hear? Dinosaurs didn't go extinct in Canada! Sean's a big wildlife nerd, so I had the benefit of his eye pointing out everything as we went. I find it super cool to hike with people with difference natural history knowledge.

[@miyahosaka8361]

@@JustinOutdoors Hah! Good to know! Just another reason to go to Canada.

[@bryanhryciw]

Love seeing my hometown from this POV. How long did the 40km take you?

[@JustinOutdoors]

About 8-8.5hrs!

[@bryanhryciw]

Justin Outdoors wow! How does that compare to your backcountry pace?

[@BackcountryPilgrim]

The Zerk 40is my new jam I love it. Did a review on my channel, stay safe man!

[@JustinOutdoors]

Your zerk review was great. Quality video like all your others!

[@BackcountryPilgrim]

@@JustinOutdoors Thanks my man!

[@darreng1918]

Different , but in a good way. Nice video.

[@JustinOutdoors]

Thanks Darren. It was different for sure. But also similar, still had to deal with a lot of the same things, just without the mountain views, haha

[@darreng1918]

@@JustinOutdoors I didn't see you drink any Bow River water. lol

[@KimFieldstad]

Nice video. Largest urban park? Check out McDowell Sonoran Preseve, but if you come visit we will give you the grand tour. But it is still smaller than the Chugach State Park. Again, thanks for the video and I like all your productions. Oh, how is the double quilt concept working?

[@JustinOutdoors]

I definitely messed that stat up! haha. It's the 4th largest urban park in Canada. Oops! I really want to make it down to the Phoenix area. I almost booked a flight for easter weekend before covid hit. The double quilt system worked really well the several times I got it out!

[@zinger2967]

Hi Justin. I recently moved to Calgary and am wondering if you have the gps track of this route available? I would like to use it for practice as I have a couple big backpacking trips planned this summer.
