The Crowsnest Highway

[@euansmith3699]

The use of subdued, isolated sound in this video really makes everything even more beautiful.

[@archivist17]

What a fabulous vignette of a travelogue! Beautiful scenery, but you also demonstrated why you have to give the wilds respect.

[@KtWalks33]

As a someone who lived in the Okanagan Valley for a long time and travelled the Crowsnest Highway a fair amount for work, this brings me so much joy. The highway driving and overall BC vibes are unparalleled in Canada. I miss this part of the world very much so thank you for the much needed nostalgia.

​@@NicoleCoenen You loved nature from a long time. Too much beauty can hurt, but after a while it's never too much, it shouldn't be too much. As well as there are more wonderful places too for you

yes there are many good people here in Europe, maybe some years ago was more.

[@LukeSkywalker1701A]

@@brandon0099 Gern geschehen ;)

[@brandon0099]

yes, it happened to me twice (with friends) to helping people in difficulty in the car. Until a few years ago the common opinion of people who could see good actions was always positive; recently it has changed and there are more and more people who consider as "idiots" people that make good actions.

We have driven this route so many times over the years, Nicole you have captured the feeling of the drive. You also have included some of our favourite stops. (Stops for one reason or another. , wink, wink)

[@padders1068]

Nicole, thanks for sharing your journey, your amazing cinematography skills showing the true beauty of the landscape, and you wise words wisely spoken! ❤

[@darrenskjoelsvold]

These videos from this lady are always so calming. Great cinematography and tight editing. But seriously the content is so mellow and calming and just nice to watch. Even the wood chopping videos are so calming. Actually I've wanted to get into wood chopping for people just because it looks like a great workout.

[@grzegorzsikora2723]

Thanks you Nicole for such a wonderful roadtrip. Greetings from Poland.

[@jbrave411]

Nicole, your videos are such a joy to watch. The scenes along the nature reminds me of my many cross country road trips across the US, though my sights are vastly different than your Canadian routes. That said, seeing those nature scenes just gives me a sense of wanderlust, and makes me want to hit the road again, except my car just died and now i'm stuck at home. The part where you were pumping your tire was something I had to do just a few days prior too, in the middle of nowhere small town Nebraska. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of your life, the slices of wood and your okie dokies. You are appreciated.

Temagami, Ontario holds my heart. I live in Pennsylvania, but I spent my childhood and adulthood going to Temagami every summer to fish and canoe. I haven’t been since 2015 because of a family situation. But it’s easily the most beautiful place in the world.

[@trimbaker1893]

back when I lived in Sitka, I used to drive from Skagway, down across the alcan to shelby montana and then across the USA to North Carolina. Thats where my folks were back when they were living. I remember driving across part of the Yukon one night and I set the F.M. radio on search and for hours it did not find a station. when it did, it was a native broadcast and the song was amazing grace, in a native language and I listened as I drove and watched the green billowing northern lights. Once the song was over, I put a cassette in the player and listened to Creedence Clearwater Revival. great memories. remember, your cell phone will rob you of your memories if you try to record things in stead of remembering them. true. smiling, George.

[@RaymondCalloway]

Wonderful trip and your return drive reminded me of the drive I took from the east coast to the Seattle area in late November. I was on I-80 driving west and had aleady climbed up and over the Continental Divide, I was worried about encountering snow as I drove higher across the Rockies, but was relieved to find no snow at the Divide. But a few hours later as I reached the border of Montana and Idaho, the road climbed higher as as it did the interstate got more and more covered by snow to the point where right at the stateline! The road at that point looked like it had a couple of inches of not yet plowed snow and I was nervous about the srive going down the other side, so scared if fact that I made a promise to go back to attending Mass on Sunday if I got safely down the Idaho side....which I did and as the altitude lower so did the snow disappear.....I kept my promise, more or less!!!! Thank you for the entertaining videos Nicole!

[@treesapa]

Hello Nicole, I fell in love with the Crowsnest and all the beautiful places when I biked from Nova Scotia to Vancouver in 2016. It's lovely to see others who have a connection to the area. And as they say "you're never alone on the road"!! :))

[@Pieces_Of_Eight]

Remarkable how landscapes become bookmarks in the pages of our lives, thank you for sharing some of yours with us. I hope your travels are smooth (thank goodness for your winter tires), and the adventures enjoyable. Driving hazard aside, do you have any customs for celebrating the first snowfall of the season? It always seemed to call for a hot drink and frosty hike.

It really is. (My mom's hometown.) However, it has been known to have frost and/or snow in what other places call "Summer." (I've seen it.) It does have spectacular scenery and the highest point in the West Kootenays, called "Old Glory" peak. (No, really.) Indescribable.
