You Never Knew This was in British Columbia! ULTIMATE Canadian Road Trip 🇨🇦

[@shooster5884]

Wow..imagine...landscapes of trees thousands of years old...! Mind boggling.

[@OverlandingSophia]

I know it’s crazy! Not just one or two trees but an entire ancient forest. Just incredible and timeless 🧡✨

[@AdeleMcAlear]

I left BC 20 years ago, but when I lived there, I camped all over the province. Seeing this week's video made my heart ache with nostalgia. I'm so glad you're showing the beauty of the two sides of our country to the world.

[@OverlandingSophia]

This means so much Adele! Made your heart ache with nostalgia...so beautifully written! 🥹 BC is a special place and we're so happy we have a bit of extra time to explore it a little more deeply than we would otherwise xx

Me too. I grew up there in 70s and 80s.

Who needs to pay to go to a cinema when you can just watch Chesca & Ben's films 🥰🙏🏻 I hopped into bed early just to watch this ♡ Ben's so cute! His little face after coming back out from behind the waterfall and his first time too! Eek! Love you guys! Can't wait for the next! xxxxxxx

Hi again guys, great you are enjoying BC. At one point before or after leaving for the UK, you really should not miss the Sea to Sky Highway (99) from West Vancouver to Whistler. Awesome combination of snow capped mountains and ocean. 90 minute drive. Be safe.

[@OverlandingSophia]

That's definitely on our list! We have a few weeks left to make the most of Vancouver island and the area around Vancouver itself 🥰

[@HM-gk3rq]

Very beautiful but busy!

[@the_mum]

There is a turn off that takes you to a wide river. This is or was a counting spot for bald eagles. The ministry fellow was there the day we were, counting and we got to take part. We counted over 140 eagles in roughly 1 hour. I say well over, because it's impossible to keep track if you are counting the same ones sometimes. Well worth the visit but I can't remember the name of the river area.

[@the_mum]

"Brackendale is perhaps the most well known eagle viewing area in the Vancouver area. Located just a few minutes north of Squamish on the Sea-to-Sky Highway, Brackendale is home to several thousand eagles that spend their day by the Squamish River searching for food."

[@jennifermatsushita4321]

Thank you so much for showing me the most wonderful places in my beautiful country

[@mcakey1648]

The cross beam between the trees is for field dressing moose and other large game. Hanging the moose by the back legs (using a pulley or block and tackle) makes it easier to skin and dress the creature. Loving your videos.

[@OverlandingSophia]

Yes! Someone said it's for dressing game! So it is for food but not in the way we thought! 🙈

[@petemcfeet28]

Great job yet again. Loved the waterfalls. Cheers!

[@HM-gk3rq]

They do things like that to hang food away from bears but it looks like the trees would be too close together for that.

[@mgrizz2386]

Beautiful video! In the 1970s, my mother drove the family to all the falls and at that time, it was a one lane gravel logging road with steep drops at one side. If you met someone going up, you'd have to back down until the road was wide enough to pass. Thankfully we didn't meet anyone, especially logging trucks, going up or down because mom JUST got her license and we were in a big boat of a car. But at one point there was a wooden bridge with a few missing boards on the deck that had a sign "cross at your own risk", since we couldn't turn around, my mom closed her eyes and gunned it. Lol, dad was terrified in the front and in the back seat, so was my brother and i. I was very young and i will never forget it. We lived to tell the tale lol. The beauty of that area was so wild and was outstanding. I'm so glad you experienced that beautiful park.

[@OverlandingSophia]

Wow! So much less of an adventure getting there now! That bridge sounds crazy, memories like that are what life is made of 💛

The horizontal logs are for hanging your game when you are hunting. Or to keep food away from bears.

If you are ever in my neck of the woods (Kamloops & area) you will love the hiking and there are endless rec sites/lakes to stay at! I wish you both a wonderful visit with your friends and family. Thanks again for a funny, honest, beautiful video.

Hunters in Ontario do the same thing with the tree connected horizontally between 2 sturdy trees for field dressing animals. Looks like you're going to go through Kamloops. That area will be much different than the Ancient Forest. It's a semi-arid area. Last time I was out there was to visit an uncle. Some people joked about tumbleweed crossing the road. Loving the videos of your travels in BC. They bring back memories, especially memories of great smoked salmon and salmon skin.

20:32. Those open areas at the end of roads are the landing areas of logging operations. It's where the skidders drag the fallen trees to, and where the trees get limbed and bucked to length. The logging trucks turn around in that clearing, get loaded, and haul the raw trunks to the mill. I love when world travelling youtubers travel through what is essentially my back yard. It makes me proud of where I live and want to share. I suppose that's true no matter where you go. And yes, that's a bear cache.

[@OverlandingSophia]

It’s a really beautiful part of the world. Found quite a few of those logging areas and they come in real handy for a quiet place to spend the night! Lots of consensus that the pole was for hanging up and dressing big game like moose and deer!

The waterfalls were epic and it's as if Ben went through a very strong car wash 🤣 Chesca, I get vertigo so it was very smart of you to watch and film Ben !

Sending you four big hugs and lots of love, Ellen.

Wow we really have been in your neck of the woods on this trip! It’s a really special place up here. I think no matter where you are in the world it’s easy to lose sight of the beauty sometimes. Thanks for the Sun Peaks tip! 🧡

The horizontal log between the trees is to throw a rope over and hang your food so bears don't get it. They will break into vehicles, tents, whatever to get at food.

Beautiful country, Thank you for sharing that with us. All those falls are incredible. Please be safe drive safely and stay healthy until next time.

[@OverlandingSophia]

Hope you guys had safe travels! Feeling rejuvenated after our time home and can’t believe our Canadian adventures are at an end already 😢

[@ivanstevens]

Love to hear about your travels in Canada, somewhere I have always wanted to go to myself x

[@OverlandingSophia]

Ah glad you’re enjoying the videos Ivan! Hope you make it to Canada one day, it’s an incredible place 🧡

I just spent 19 days between BC and Alberta (Banff) and I feel your pain about the miles between grocery stores and trying to find what you need. BUT, the scenery is stunning! I loved the drives. So much beautiful nature! The drive between Whistler and Banff is stunning, so was Icefields Parkway in Banff.

[@OverlandingSophia]

Icefields Parkway was one of our favourite drives ever! The grocery stores can be a pain but god does the scenery make up for it 🙏✨

[@Scud_and_thesTig]

Wow, surpassed yourselves again. Stunning 👍💙❤️

[@OverlandingSophia]

Thanks so much 🥹 Sending love 💛 xx

[@cindylaquant3451]

Amazing video, waterfalls are so beautiful,thanks for letting us follow along . River and Scout are such good traveller ❤️.

[@OverlandingSophia]

Thanks for coming along with us Cindy! 🧡

[@bobthomson3164]

fantastic enjoyed every minute i am leaving sweden next for morocco

[@OverlandingSophia]

Love to hear that, thanks Bob. Sounds amazing! Have an awesome time, heard only good things about Morocco! 💛

[@eriknorn2956]

Glad to see you enjoyed a piece of my "backyard" :) …. The hwy between Prince George and Clearwater is pretty awesome!

[@OverlandingSophia]

It’s been freaking awesome 🤩

[@valerieparr4454]

I live in this area and haven’t been to some of the places you’ve been. Wonderful to follow along. I agree that the horizontal pole can be used to get food caches up off the ground, but my family has a similar set up to hang moose haunches after a successful hunt.

[@OverlandingSophia]

I hope you get to make it to some of them. The ancient forest and waterfalls were out of this world! And yep, I think general consensus is that the pole is for hanging game like moose!

[@baublesanddolls]

That waterfall is absolutely gorgeous, although I must admit I was freaking out when Ben went behind them. I was so afraid he'd slip and never come out. I'm guessing it was very slippery. I live in Nova Scotia and love it here and my kids are here, but if I didn't have kids or grandchildren, I'd definitely live in BC. I miss it, and there's nothing like those mountains. ❤

[@OverlandingSophia]

Neither of us knew how intense it would be to go behind the waterfall! Much narrower and slippery than we expected, but thankfully he was fine. Something to get the blood pumping! 😂 💛

[@baublesanddolls]

@@OverlandingSophia 💕💕 stay safe 💖

[@ewetubin1]

You will see this log on a tree thing everywhere. It is either for keeping your food from the bear or for a rope swing. There are many uses for doing that. My neighbor just put one up to hang bird feeders on.

[@OverlandingSophia]

We've had loads of comments saying it's used for hanging big game like deer and moose! Makes sense as we've only seen them in wild camps that hunters would use. Much prefer their use as bird feeders though! 💛

[@russellbelliveau1694]

Can’t believe those water falls especially the big one I had no idea. It’s my dream to someday see those giant ancient cedars and hemlocks of BC. Another crazy interesting video, thanks so much. Take care and safe travels guys.

[@OverlandingSophia]

Back home there might be one or two trees that are ancient in a forest. But to walk amongst an ENTIRE forest of them was like being in a film. So beyond magical and timeless in there. The waterfalls were pretty crazy eh! So awesome to be so up close too 😂💦💦 Hope you’re doing well Russell!

[@lyndean4498]

I lived in BC from 1974 until 1997 and I’m ashamed to say I haven’t seen all the amazing places you two have been. It’s fabulous to see all these places from your perspective. Considering all the travelling and mikes you’ve done in your van it’s impressive how few issues you’ve add with things like a binged up sink.

[@OverlandingSophia]

It’s a big place Lyn! Don’t blame you for not getting chance to see it all. I think the ancient forest was only designated a park in 2017! And yep, we’re very surprised more hasn’t shaken apart 😅 xx

[@lucindapacker6510]

Thanks so much for another wonderful vlog. Your editing is truly incredible. I am enjoying your trek through my beautiful country through your eyes ❤

[@OverlandingSophia]

Thanks so much Lucinda, means a lot to hear that 💛 xx

[@sarawarrener2193]

Another incredible stunning video❤️❤️

[@OverlandingSophia]

Thanks so much Sara 🥹 💛 xx

[@GTwistingTale]

Loving these films & at the same time my heart is acheing for all damage being wrought by forest fires. I was blown away by your journey along the Dalton highway & can only imagine what this looks like now 💔

[@OverlandingSophia]

It’s heartbreaking to imagine what’s happening to those beautiful forests 😢 Although I don’t think there are any fires up on the Dalton, only in Canada at the minute xx

[@denisecafferky2248]

Those waterfalls were epic

[@OverlandingSophia]

They were! So impressive!

[@drewsky5577]

That’s Bigfoot country for sure.Good to see you fishing Ben.

[@OverlandingSophia]

Indeed! There could be ANYTHING out here 😮 These woods make some strange ol' noises too.

[@davidstack4436]

I hope you travel in the Okanagan and see a winery or see Nk'mip Desert, Canada's only desert.
