So many memories going down this highway, love it

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

Neat video. I've heard of Sinclair Cayon but I'd not seen it before -- looks pretty neat.

[@RoadsofEuropeverreme]

In most European countries space is at a premium so there's literally no room to set trees apart from the road! Also, in older roads (100+ years old) trees were planted right by the side of the road to provide shade to both travellers and beasts.

[@TransCanadaPhil]

I noticed that. Driving over there has a completely different feel than here. It requires a lot more concentration I found. Over here, you can pretty much "zone out" for hours at a time between places :-)

[@SmokeyGoodness]

Noticed this video was posted before I even log on to KCW... Glad I did, too. This is an excellent vid that I know is gonna become one of those elite favorites of mine! The music and imagery work perfect with each other.

Every time I see one of your videos,it keeps my dream alive of seeing the places you take me too. Thanks Phil, look forward to video 👍❤️🇨🇦🚙😃

greetings from Winnipeg. It's my hope to get out to Nova Scotia one day when we can travel cross-province again.

This is great, reminds me of the time we spent in Canada a clouple years ago. Brings back memories! 👍

[@TransCanadaPhil]

Thanks for watching. It was my first time in Radium specifically but I'll be back for sure.

@@TransCanadaPhil Is Asphalt Planet still working on Vancouver for this Friday?

[@GreatAussieDrives]

This is fantastic! Apart from the natural beauty what also struck me was how well maintained that road is. The asphalt looks really smooth, the lane markings are clear, with nice wide shoulders and as you mentioned the trees being cleared on either side. Here in Australia, its not uncommon for trees to grow right up to the sides of highways.

[@TransCanadaPhil]

I believe the road was very recently resurfaced. As you can see near the end, they are even working at widening the road through the Sinclair Canyon.

[@srp723]

The highway was repaved last year. Parks Canada maintains the highway and does a great job, particularly in winter.

[@xlbolt]

I've always wanted to come by here and drive this stretch, maybe in the next year or two, there's already so much in the area I gotta see one day!

[@davidborrink137]

Nice drive and great music. One thing that I noticed and I've never seen it elsewhere is the hanging road signs, where they look half the size of normal signs, while hanging from and L-shaped bar. Is that a national park thing for this park to keep the signs from looking too big? It's an interesting look.

[@TransCanadaPhil]

yes the signage in Canada's national parks has a consistent look and feel throughout all the national parks to make it uniform. I know there's a pdf floating around online somewhere of a guidebook that gives all the rules. :-)

[@PaulIsAGamer]

Never been to Canada. What a beautiful views. Thank you for showing us Phil!

[@TransCanadaPhil]

Glad you stopped by!

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

The undivided roads in the Canadian Rockies are amazing and cool. Unlike through the US Rocky Mountains, it's different because the US also include's their freeway system aka the Interstate Highway System.

[@kennypalermo9071]

@@TransCanadaPhil Hello Phil answer my current question, Have you gone shopping in rural areas before?

[@FreewayAndrewCAN]

Awesome video! Would love to travel out west some day.

[@TransCanadaPhil]

I think they'll finally allow interprovincial travel again by Sept.

[@TransCanadaPhil]

good idea on the Bow Valley Trail. I've never driven to Canmore that way but I know of it. I do have a video of the other part of the Bow Valley Trail west of Banff to Lake Louise that I posted awhile ago, but I'll have to record the other one the next time I'm out there.

[@athenafranklin8018]

Too many tall trees on each side. It's also the type of tree. They grow too aggressively. Keep safe at the local Mall.
