A Night of Northern Lights on Panorama Ridge - TIMELAPSE

On the night of October 10-11th, 2024, a large coronal mass ejection reached Earth, sparking incredibly strong auroras. I chased these northern lights on an overnight mission up to Panorama Ridge in Garibaldi Provincial Park. From less than 40 minutes after sunset, to about 40 minutes before sunrise, the lights danced across the sky. Vibrant pinks started the show, shining high above the Black ...

      There are routes linked in the description. You should be able to export them as needed. I've also included links to the actual route maps (route verte and island walk). Those should be a good starting point to build a tour.

    Back in the day when I did a northern route bicycle tour across the U.S., I cut across southern Ontario to avoid the big U.S. cities south of the Great Lakes and it was a very good decision. Southern Ontario was one of the highlights of the trip. Some years later, I did a cross Canada trip on a route that stayed ~100-200 miles North of the border and it was one of my very best bicycle tours ever. Great primitive camping and wildlife and very welcoming and hospitable Canadians.

    I have enjoyed watching your cycling adventures. We did a similar PEI/Les Isles bike tour in 2023, although we drove from BC instead of riding there to begin our adventure. Traveling cycling adventures like yours have helped to inspire me to expand my creative abilities (old school photo person) and I have purchased an action camera to learn to do some videography to record my trips rather than just stills. (The drone shots make me think I might have to make another investment!) Thanks!

      Thank you so much! It was so worth the trip over there. It was a tough decision to take the ferry back after just one full day on the islands, but that same constant rushing is what brought me so many places across Canada (and the world). IDLM has definitely been calling for an extended return visit at some point. I didn't mention it, but ironically it was the only place I'v ever had something thrown at me from a vehicle (beer bottle out of an oversize pickup trick... of course). Can't let one sad lunatic spoil the rest of the wonderful nature and people there though.

    What a great video! If you don't mind my asking, how do you go about selecting your 'wild camping' sites. Do you just wing it, and look for private-ish spots, or do you use any sort of site like ioverlander?

    • @nathanstarzynski
      @nathanstarzynski 11 дней назад

      I do use iOverlander a lot, and have used it all across the world. It's a great starting point. Otherwise, I'm looking at google maps for beaches, small parks, or wherever I think will be suitable based on the location. Usually I have a destination in mind for the day, but thats always flexible, and will often change by the late afternoon.

Thinking that 2.2’’ tires should be sufficient.

All the flattened corn fields, trees knocked in uniform directions, and buildings with shingles largely missing or roofs completely gone. Hope you and the island have been recovering well since.

Less traffic, VERY friendly people and spectacular landscapes. I stayed well north to avoid the big cities along the southern border so the primitive camping was also great. Lots of wildlife.
