[@hebguy07]

Another great video.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

[@rickybreaux2607]

Can’t wait to see Banff!! Great video! 👍

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Banff comes out on Wednesday and it was wonderful. We LOVED it! Thanks for your support.

[@auroranite]

Never heard of this park, agree its beautiful and off the beaten path. Tks for scenery taking us along.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We loved it there and needed a break from the 10 hour drive days to get to the border.

[@newhampshirejoe5975]

We so envy you guys but happy your taking us a long for the ride.....so go take a hike LOL

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

It does seem like we do and film a lot of hiking, it is one of favorite things to do. I believe we’ll take your advice and go for a hike. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@spellmadam2947]

Very cool. It looked like something you would see in Utah. Gorgeous. Looks like you had the place to your selves.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

I agree it did look a lot like Utah, which was so unexpected. It was a very pleasent surprise. We were there during the week that may have been why it was not very crowded. Thanks for watching.

You folks won me over by responding in such a nice manner to my comment on your last video. Because of your kindness, you now have become one of my favorite channels. The videography may not be as professional as some channels that I follow, but you folks' excitement of the beauty of God's creation way outweighs their presentations. Watching you folks enjoying your trip so much, makes me want to hurry and get our travel trailer out of the driveway and head out west to the Grand Canyon. Just waiting on my health to improve a little. Enjoy your journey. The beauty and wildlife of Alaska is around the next bend and the best is yet to come. :-)

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

I want to thank you for this comment. We always strive to create good content. That being said we are somewhat limited by creating as we travel in a van. We would love to know who you watch that has more professional content so maybe we could learn from them. We hope you can start your travels very soon. Thanks again for watching.

[@Revtraveler]

@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle that comment was certainly not meant to put you folks down in any way. Y'all are way out ahead of me with your videography. I'm a watcher not a video creator. With that being said, for example, people like Eric Jacobs (Nomadic Fanatic) have very informative videos on how to improve the viewers KZbin experience. For example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmWcpq1pqpeYiZI He also has one entitled, "How I Make KZbin Videos". I really enjoy your content and appreciate your kindness. Have a blessed and safe trip.

[@arkansastraveler7698]

If you ever make it to Winnipeg, take the trolley tour of the town.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thanks for the advice and for watching.

[@WhoaNellieRVAdventures]

A phenomenal stop. Glad to see you finding places you love to visit.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

This stop was way better than we expected. We just love finding hidden gems like this. Thanks for watching and for your support.

[@bobswihart]

I have been watching your videos for some time now. I really enjoy them, but have never told you. So I thought I should let you know. My wife and I enjoy your videos a great deal. I hope you keep it up for a very long time and greatly appreciate you sharing your adventures. Really enjoy your enthusiasm. Love seeing your response to the buffalo in another video. You get so excited and it is nice to see someone enjoying everything. Keep it up. Thank you.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Hey Bob! Thanks for letting us know you are watching and loving it. I totally understand. Lots of times we watch our favorite KZbinrs from our TV and there’s no way to comment there so we get it. But we’d love to hear from you as we post them so we can get to know you and your wife and we can know what you like to see. Thanks for watching so many and for such s nice comment. Started our morning with a smile.

[@bobswihart]

@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle I can see you guys smiling right now.

[@tayninh69]

Absolutely stunning. I love watching your videos, my wife and I also like taking the "road less traveled". Maggie seems to enjoy traveling.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Hey guys. Yes Maggie loves traveling. She was meant for us for sure. As long as we are close by she’s happy. The best places usually have addresses on the roads less traveled. Maybe we’ll see you on one someday :-)

[@davidzimmer2694]

Loving this journey. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We are really enjoying it too. Thanks for tagging along. :-)

[@lorenenoe4472]

Awesome! Cannot wait for next leg of the trip. Be safe.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Around the next corner is another fun thing to see and do. Thanks for being with us. If we can find cell coverage we’ll keep uploading. :-)

[@awilli1010]

Did you have to exchange money at the border? Another beautiful video. Safe travels to you!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We did not exchange money at the border. We did used the ATM in Banff to get some Canadian currency, however we mostly use our credit card . Thanks for following our journey.

[@ncdean62]

Beautiful area! Enjoying the journey!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thanks Dean. We are enjoying it too. Lots of miles though. Wish I could have Spock “beam me up” when we’re ready to head home 😂😂

[@WingsandWheelsAlaska]

Great video! You are on an awesome journey. Safe travels!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Glad we are getting to share part of it with you guys. :-)

[@CanadaFree.6014]

Welcome to Canada! Though I'm sure this was a week or two ago lol. You know, I've lived on the East Coast of Canada all my life, and I have yet to visit the west coast of Canada. Some day!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Actually we are about 10 days behind from that video. We are trying to release them faster snd keep them more current but the remoteness and lack of cell coverage might make that harder than planned. Canada, like the US, us such a huge country. It souls take more than a lifetime to see it all. We’ve now been of the east coast of Canada and the west coast. Both are beautiful. Thanks for always watching.

[@musicmarlene]

Did you have to show Vaccination papers?

[@BillSprague]

Folks just need to keep their hands in their pockets and not to deface ancient peoples’ sacred sites. Shame indeed! That stop is now on my bucket list for next Summer! Thanks!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

I agree. Be careful how you time it. If you hit it just right in spring there will be tons of rattlesnakes migrating. Would be cool if you're not scared of that many snakes. You will love it there either way.

[@BillSprague]

VAN TREKKING lifestyle Great information. Thanks! I’m an old (76) surveyor and that sure looked like snake country. I’ll wear my Carhartts and carry my walking stick, if I show up early. I’ll leave PA in May....

[@sheilaqualls3148]

What a beautiful park! It’s such a shame that there are idiots in our world that would deface something beautiful that is thousands of years old! I just can’t stomach selfish people! 😡 sorry rant over. Another awesome video!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thanks so much for watching.

[@RoadsofLife]

Another beautiful video full of information and experiences! Good for y'all! I had a question that has nothing to do with the park... you had a long distance conversation at about 7:25 which was quite impressive. Did you use a microphone on your camera (or phone or whatever you were using)? I doubt my iPhone would reach a conversation that far! Also... I am just so amazed at how much you both can walk up and down and all over in the heat for hours on end... and then go on a guided tour!! I'm lucky to last an hour or two in air conditioned comfort! Just went to Powell Gardens outside of Kansas City and I barely lasted 2 hours walking out in the heat. Kudos to all y'all (including Maggie!) for the healthy living, loving experiences and your willingness to share your story! Be seeing you!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thank you! Glad you noticed that the camera picked that up from so far away. First of all it was pretty quiet there so that helped. That was taken on our Sony a6400 with a small mic attached to it (here’s the link: Cameras Microphone 3.5mm Vlog, Saramonic Plug & Play Mic Omnidirectional Mic for DSLR, Camcorders, CaMixer, SmartMixer, LavMic, SmartRig+, UWMIC9/UWMIC10/UWMIC15 Wireless Microphone Systems (TRS) www.amazon.com/dp/B07H6G5JTJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_XtuhDbJGCVF5R). It is so small and doesn’t get in the way at all and as you pointed out it really picks up conversations really well. We also use a DJI Osmo Pocket camera but the audio from it is not nearly as good so you’ll be able to tell when we use that one... mainly when we’re driving. :-). Thanks for being part of this awesome journey. We appreciate you always being connected to us and always putting a smile on our faces.

[@Meyersci]

Lots of hoodoos!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We loved the Hoodoo... they are truly amazing and so much fun to climb on. Thanks for watching.

[@ftkinsella]

Welcome to Canada. So glad to see that you are enjoying yourselves. Remember that was a 1.2 mile trek and it’s 1.9 kilometres. Hahahahaha Cheers!!!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

😂 So do you know how hard that is for us non-metric folks? I can’t hardly see the metric equivalent on the speedometer and doing the conversion while driving is too much for my brain 😂. I do know it was tiring and close to 4km 😆

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

BTW. We LOOOOOOVE Canada! Icefields Parkway might be our most favorite place on Earth.

[@ftkinsella]

Hahahaha I hear ya.

[@debz8340]

Remember it’s not the destination but the journey within. Be a traveler not a tourist. In other words, be a part of the play, not the audience. As always, smiles from Ohio.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Such wise and beautiful words. Thank you.

[@lynnpoteat2369]

Very good advice, we will strive to remember those words of wisdom. Thanks for sharing

[@CanuckHogmaster]

Welcome to the country of my birth. Glad that you did not decided not to race through Canada, I'm sure you will find lots to see and do. As for those idiots that feel compelled to desecrate natural beauty with their graffiti; I call them oxygen thieves. Safe travels.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

The country of your birth is a very beautiful and amazing place. “Oxygen thieves” lol. Thanks for watching.
