Four Day Backpacking Trip in a Canadian Rockies Wonderland

[@darwinrussell]

You picked a great friend in that little dog. What a character!

[@memorysometimers3067]

But I saw her gettin’ a bit friendly with another man!! Rockoooooo😠 😂❤

[@NancyHanson3472]

​@@memorysometimers3067 Rocko loves everybody.

[@Desmond.TuTu.]

Stunning

[@scmacsart]

She is mighty dog.🐕

[@donnagarsee8944]

Just visited your Canadian Rockies. Been to Banff, Lake Louise, Columbia Icefield. They are stunning.

[@thomasjrgensen388]

Foresty Forest and Rocko are the best ambassadors, Canada could ever hope for.

[@chiptaylor1124]

Love this comment and couldn't agree more!

[@barbarakyle9869]

Absolutely a wonderful ambassador for Western Canada, and that little pupper is the best!

[@lindasmith3648]

We agree 👍🙂

[@richardthomas1743]

WOW! What spectacular views! Rocko is living an awesome life , watching it is very obvious that she is one very happy and very much loved Pup! Thank you for taking us along and thumbs UP!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@gnyphq6405]

I love seeing my thoughts written by another fan. 🙌

[@DanitaReynolds]

Same! I came to make the same comment.

[@genehobart6784]

Thanks! Really appreciate you and Rocko.

[@margoburns9085]

As a painter I can say...way better than a Bob Ross painting! Wow, the views were incredible. That drone shot of the multi colored rock was mind blowing! ❤

[@zygotepeyote]

Just imagine Foresty and Rocko sporting a Bob Ross fro blowing in the wind high atop the Canadian Rockies............they would have to hang that painting in The Louvre!

[@Dennzio1]

hopefully you aren't dissing Bob Ross

[@zygotepeyote]

@@Dennzio1 Not at all. Grew up watching him paint and he was also a career man in the Air Force!

[@CatBalou38]

WOW! It's like your on another planet. Rocko just loves tearing around those mountains. What a friend. ❤

[@begooode380]

Thanks! Small donation for the sunglasses fund

[@pauloh3591]

Nobody else brings us the wonders of the Canadian Rockies like Foresty Forest does. Packed with living in a wondervan. Great entertainment right here!

[@GreensGrowingUp]

I just got back from a road trip to the Jasper area with my 6 year old daughter. As a prairie boy, I found myself looking around in awe at the mountains - many times I was wondering how the heck Foresty Forest bags all of the summits that he does! But we did one little summit with the help of the Jasper Skytram and I think that might have lit a fire inside my little girl. Maybe one day we'll be starting from the bottom!

[@PabloRichardFernandez]

Do it! Going up and down mountains with my two kids may very well be my favourite thing in the entire world.

[@Mr_Snow_089]

Danke!

[@btmw8754]

New viewer here. Rocko is so cute. Some of your climbing videos I've seen were a little much for me. I'd be glad to even watch laid back, lazy days and less risks for Rocko and yourself, somewhere in the lines of Go4x4 minus all the fancy gadgets! Anyway, a little gift for you and Rocko. Stay safe.

[@3generations393]

I thank you so much Simon & Rocko ❣️ You take this grandma to breathtakingly beautiful places that I could only dream about. May God bless 🙏❌⭕❌⭕❣️

[@MsDCGoGo]

This grandma too!!!!!!!!!!

[@katemetho72]

This one as well

[@lifewithpugwinkle]

Same!

[@zygotepeyote]

Looks like Ephraim enjoyed Rocko's company along the trip. Saw his Instagram and see he is a dog lover as well. Rocko is becoming a legend in the climbing world!

[@donniedoesdishes]

good to see rocco all healed up and ready to go, be safe out there , great video

[@bluekatgal7300]

Rocko always looks like she is being patient with the slow walkers. 😂 I really enjoy all the effort put in and Rocko really is a great addition. Glad to see you with another explorer. Love your channel. Water that is crystal clear at the waterfall was a treat to behold. ❤

[@richardthomas1743]

HEY! Hello Foresty and Rocko! Thumbs UP!! I am glad that she is all healed up! 👍

[@Mainedwella33]

WOW! Incredible drone footage, what a beautiful area

[@nvtruant5994]

Illegal to use drones in Banff national park!

[@SolarSailor1967]

This easily could have been 3+ full videos. Instead we got 11 minutes of unmatchably majestic quickshots. It was nice of Rocko to stick close to Ephraim & keep him safe.

[@RedStickLouisiana]

I loved the Bob Ross reference, I saw lots of happy little trees. Thanks.

[@barbarakyle9869]

I look forward to your new videos and view them enthusiastically! I'm so glad Rocco's paw has healed and she looks like she's in such good spirits!

[@pickinnick100]

The amount of quality work you put into each of these video is obvious. Thanks for showcasing this place so beautifully!

[@bennettkuwantchoh2467]

Thanks Ephraim for organizing this amazing adventure. Rocko really likes you. Thanks Forest. Please make more hikes with Ephraim when possible.

[@uituituituituituit]

@@skinnflintlmao you ok bro?

[@judyfeldman5066]

We flew out west and back this week and each time we were over the Rockies I looked for you and Rocko. Take care

[@erikjohannessen7727]

Thank you for bringing us along on a stunning adventure!

[@forestyforest]

Thank you!!

[@carolbennett2601]

That shot of Rocko thinking about the next mountain to climb. Great portrait shot!

[@chrisbrown8748]

So glad to see the pup all healed up❤️

[@wilgib418]

Could not believe meeting Forestry and Rocko once in a lifetime occasion!

[@TomaszSlowinski]

Hello Forest 😊 good to see you again.

[@katereed4764]

What an amazing trip! Thanks for taking us along.

[@forestyforest]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!

[@williammccarthy6436]

You don’t talk about it but your fitness level must be insane. From what it seems your training for big trips is just constantly getting out and testing yourself. A lot of people give outdoor KZbinrs a hard time for drawing a crowd to remote places but most people would never be able to plan or execute a trip like this. Kudos and thanks for keeping all of us amateur outdoorsman striving for more.

[@cenedraleaheldra5275]

You worry about how you present yourself and your vlogs. Man you never fail to amaze me. WowJust Wow every time. Epic views. Love listening to you. Just amazing

[@PNWXMATT]

Morning buddy! And 77 plus miles is brutal!

[@jenford7078]

Whoa! What gorgeous scenery! I'm awed, absolutely awed!

[@mrcdplsrl]

So glad you hooked up with someone who loves doing the unimaginable (or at least for me it is). Rocko was a trooper the entire way and had a great time. Glad you are safe!

[@MrPhotodoc]

The drone views of the topography really shows how old those mountains are.

[@joeheid2776]

Some of the best drone footage I've ever seen.

[@Mickju]

That is some of the most spectacular and beautiful scenery I have ever seen. It almost doesn't look like it could be real.

[@XEinstein]

2:00 from a European point of view it is so hard to imagine that that vista is nothing but wilderness. If this vista would be in the alps there would be highways and trainlines in the valleys, villages not only in the valleys but spread-out through the mountains as well. There'd be mountain huts, little guesthouses and alms galore. Cattle grazing everywhere and lifts carrying people up and over the mountain passes in ease. Such a different experience.

[@Biggiiful]

It's like that in some areas in the US too, and honestly what you just described sounds like a charming setting and view. There is just so much empty space on the North American continent still. At one point you're mountains were just as empty too. It's both cool and depressing to think about either way.

[@XEinstein]

@@Biggiiful the hiking experience in the Alps is fantastic exactly because it is so populated. It's arguably a better experience ending your hiking day in a mountain alm hut, eating a freshly cooked meal and drinking and ice cold beer, when compared to eating a freeze dried meal from a bag. Add to the centuries of mountain culture of farmers grazing their cattle on alms high in the mountains. Hiking in the alps is as much a culture experience ar it is a nature experience. It's amazing precisely for that reason. But also for the same reason, I find myself hiking in Scotland or Norway more often than in the Alps as it is the wilderness experience that I want to have more than the cultural experience

[@happydays59]

😮The Rockies says it all! Breathtaking views as always, thanks a million for taking us along.🩷🐶🩷🇨🇦✌🏻

[@amye4087]

Those views didn't seem real. Can't believe all the layers and colors. Incredible. Thanks for taking us along.

[@brianrogers5215]

An absolute masterpiece of a video, not gonna understate it. Wow.

[@cindi7955]

I keep thinking you can't keep upping your game but low and behold did you ever with this one! John Muir summed it up best: "One day's exposure to mountains is better than cartloads of books. See how willingly Nature poses herself upon photographers' plates. No earthly chemicals are so sensitive as those of the human soul." Amen!

[@joanhuggett5164]

You are an awesome photographer, Foresty. Choosing the most stunning angles blows us away all the time. And we're with Rocko, we've been following you around ever since when. We love having you in our home here in Western Australia. Yes, we are well and happy. Thanks for asking.

[@KaneDoesOutdoors]

The Canadian Rockies are paradise - hard to fully grasp until you've been here.

[@rudivandoornegat2371]

Congrats Rocko with 50 summits

[@wheeliewheelie1]

Your most beautiful video yet Foresty and you've had plenty of beautiful videos. You're lucky to live in such a place and thanks for sharing it with us.

[@AleksandarGospic]

There is one major flaw with this episode, it's too short! 😁😁 Amazing trip and scenery, Canadian Rockies are a gift that keeps on giving 😍😍

[@justinelliott7371]

What an EPIc adventure! glad to see that Rocko Is all healed up and out there again. Keep up the great work Foresty!

[@Chiamex]

Fabulous views! The Canadian Rockies are spectacular. Rocko is a trouper for sure. She's such a good companion for you; she never gives up. Thank you for sharing these adventures. I truly enjoy them.

[@AbstractAnalogAdventure]

That drone footy from the first peak, just WOW! Can't even imagine the awe seeing it through eyeballs. Cheers gentlemen, and Rocko!

[@RollingwiththeRoss]

Mountains of fun! Thank you Mr. Forest.

[@jasonlynch2919]

What a beautiful hiking video, the mountains are just gorgeous.

[@maryannbjorgaard9553]

Wow the most beautiful sight of mountains I've ever seen. Because of you taking the videos I would never know such beauty. Thanks for showing us your video's.

[@caraoosterhouse7348]

Another WOW!!! Absolutely stunning. Thank you for the fabulous video. I appreciate your videos so much. Thank you for posting.

[@poohbear4130]

Funny watching a grown man scaling a rock and a little dog watching like it was a goat! Just a reminder that Mother Nature runs things and we just try to fit in!

[@clarkleakins879]

This scenery is just WOWZA! Oh to have wings and drift about like the drone. Nearly overwhelming vistas.

[@beatakubicki3070]

Those views are surreal. Thanks for the fantastic photography. And seeing Rocko all mended and living the life is heartwarming.

[@pwarelis]

Thanks Foresty!

[@kevhead1525]

Rocko is the best companion you could ask for but it always make me glad when you can hook up with another human. And man. Never saw the Rockies look so magnificent.

[@TomaszSlowinski]

Number of days +temperature +wind speed/wind direction = distance between hikers. Got it👍

[@minnaparker1041]

Thanks for another awesome video. I really enjoyed the climbs and the scenery blew me away. Glad Rocco 🎉is back in good condition. What a great twosome you are. I have a terrible fear of heights but your videos let me see some wonderful mountain scenes. 😊

You said it best!! Looks like you're in a Bob Ross masterpiece!! Only you have it better because you're are there and enjoying God's Land!!
