Great Divide Trail - A journey through the Canadian Rockies

[@terryzanger7152]

12:02 I grew up in Bragg Creek in the 60s and 70s. It was such an awsome place to be back then. I would ride my bike up the Elbow to go fishing and would not see anyone but a few cows, even in July. The roads were gravel. Then the government made it a park. They paved the roads over the pass into Ford Creek where we had been able to camp in August and see only the odd hunter. They replaced the single forest ranger with dozens of park wardens who made lots and lots of rules. And then they came from Calgary in their 1000s. My memories are so comforting. Thanks for sharing

The power and reward of accomplishment...congrats on this journey of mind, body and soul. Only those who travel in these remote places can truly share in your emotions...nut we can all experience the beauty

[@tylernblaney]

Ah thanks Carol! It was a truly moving experience. I am going back on trail in August. Stay tuned for future videos!

Hey mate, fantastic video, I'm planning a 2024 GDT (& a little of the CDT) so it was great to see your film, very inspiring & well shot! I did the whole PCT last year so I'm excited to do the rockies! Thanks again, Greg

[@tylernblaney]

Aw! Thanks Greg. It was a trip of a lifetime. Congratulations on the PCT, it a bucket list thru for me. :)

[@Greghikes1]

@@tylernblaney I'd recommend skipping the desert 🏜️ PCT section! It's long, hot, heavy water carries and I found it uninteresting. With your GDT did you navigate with Far out? If so was it ok? I've heard it's not detailed enough... (But that's what I exclusively use!🤞) Cheers! Greg

[@tylernblaney]

Such a beautiful trek. ☺️

[@nvtruant5994]

Just watched this amazing video! I’ve done portions of it but there are many spots that you have inspired me to do. Thank you for sharing the emotions that the mountains evoke. I too see God daily when I’m out in the wilds. Keep trekking ❤

[@tylernblaney]

Hey NV, I was reduced to tears most days by the sheer beauty and aw the mountains gifted me. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for future videos!

The Jetboil system powering....ramen from styrofoam cup. Can't wait til i get to hike the route it looks amazing.

[@tylernblaney]

It was indeed! When are you planning on doing the trek?

[@jjinthemountains369]

What a great journey, Tyler. Beautiful spot on your last night on section D, on that bluff above the Howse. Curious what you used to shoot video on your hike?

[@tylernblaney]

Hi JJ! I used a GoPro Hero 8 for all my videos. I have just recently switched to a Hero 9.

[@alane3983]

We’ll done. That section D eh? Seemed like all water to me! The other sections I missed looked beautiful.

[@tylernblaney]

Thank you for being part of the story Alan!

[@blin4788]

I haven’t been back to Waterton since the fire, it looks very beautiful still.

[@tylernblaney]

It is so beautiful in Waterton!
