[@hikingmule]

Beautiful area and fantastic video showcasing it. Thanks! Easy answer to your question... YES, I would love to try it out.

[@madetoexplore]

Definitely recommend it! It’s an incredible area

[@ervinslens]

What a content, what a magnificent work guys, this upload is filmed so professionally! Love it! 🔥

[@madetoexplore]

Thank you very much! 😄

[@saraw6710]

thx guys for doing this, I'm going to do this at the weekend, but tomorrow I'm skiing Goats, such a contrast!!!

[@madetoexplore]

Welcome! Hope you have an awesome time 😄

[@JB_FLYA69669]

Great video you have inspired me t go here

[@madetoexplore]

Awesome! 😄

[@davidtaylor1190]

Great video. You two have to hike from Sunshine into Assiniboine. I’d love to see that video you make.

[@madetoexplore]

Would love to do that one day! Thanks for the recommendation

[@overwatchxrescue]

Wonder why everything in that area has an Egyptian-themed name. Must be an interesting story behind that!

[@madetoexplore]

We wondered the same thing! Haha

[@vvunlisted]

Have you guys heard about the bear attack at Dawson's Creek last year? Would love to hear how you guys stay bear safe / ready on the trail!

[@madetoexplore]

We haven’t heard of that one but we did hear about a few other ones. We’ve also had a few encounters ourself. Could definitely make a video on this in the future!

[@HarpreetSingh-bd7tt]

I’m planning to do this in may!! How do you think will be the views in may. P.s- I’m from Ontario and visiting Calgary in may.

[@madetoexplore]

This hike won’t be open in May unfortunately. Unless you plan on skiing, I’d try doing the hike between July-Sept.

[@Daddyswatchingtoo]

What tent is that?

[@madetoexplore]

It’s an older North Face backcountry model that doesn’t exist anymore

[@headinthemountains1666]

Just wondering how difficult was it for you to get permits for Egypt campground??? Thanks

[@madetoexplore]

They can be pretty competitive. I’d recommend trying to book on opening day for sure

[@headinthemountains1666]

Ya.......this year (2023) entire inventory for Lake Ohara and Egypt Lake for the summer was gone in about 5 minutes on day 1 opening for online booking......thats if you got out of the queue......kinda like Taylor Swift tickets. lol
