I'm about to head West permanently. I have no idea where I'll end up, and I haven't done a lot of research yet so thank YOU both for showing me my gorgeous country~! You both have such positive energy and chill vibes that we hope you come back! Many Americans are seriously considering leaving the US post-election, whether temporarily or permanently. Whatever the decision, Americans such as yourselves are WELCOME here anytime. BTW -- Orcas are more rare in the Maritimes, but they are there. I had better luck off coast of Boston :) I'd put MOOSE on your bucket list -- they are MASSIVE and beautiful.
I was born in 1964 and have lived most of my life in Prince George, B.C. When I was a kid we would travel frequently on the Parkway to get to my grandparents house in southern B.C. I remember vividly the Athabasca Glacier being 20 feet deep right beside the highway in my earliest memories and watching over the years as it has receded. It blows me away how far it is from the highway now. Nothing in the world compares to the drive down the Icefields Parkway.
Glad that you were able to take in some of our beautiful scenery here in Alberta. The Icefields Parkway is definitely in the top 5 best drives in our beautiful country. FYI...at 10:20 - that is a Raven not a crow. Ravens are intelligent, can be taught to talk and are mischievous as all get out. Come back for a visit soon! Born and raised Canadian since 1960 and am still trying to see every corner of this place i call home.
I am loving your Canadian videos. :) For the All Dressed chips, you need the Ruffels brand. THe Miss Vickies , while they taste great, are not the same as the iconic ones.
@@deniseandreed Well to be honest Miss Vickie's are kind of a premium chip as they're kettle cooked. For a real Canadian "All Dressed" experience go with Old Dutch, or Ruffles as Sara suggested.
@deniseandreed As a native British Columbian I would say OD was always the standard growing up. For Ketchup you might even want to try Lay's. While it's also in the US due to different health standards Lay's taste better up north.
I am a photographer that has lived here most my life and you did a great job representing! I love your humour and curiosity because that is what you need to enjoy Canada. You did a great job and i hope you stay together for ever.
Aww I missed this last week! This video made me emotional. It’s bittersweet to see your adventure coming to an end, but I’m so happy you took us all along with you!
It has been so hard to leave this beautiful country but we will DEFINITELY be back. Thanks for rocking with us for our entire Canada series, you’re amazing ❤️
@@deniseandreed omg it’s been so much fun. I’m watching your last one on the iPad while responding on my phone - so meta! You 4 are in my heart. Extra love to little Bella babe and her eye!
The melting water from the glacier is some of the best tasting water around. Just don't drink to much of it. The ground down rock flour embedded in the ice acts as a natural laxative if you drink to much .
The area between Nordegg and the Banff Park Gates in Alberta is absolutely beautiful. I live an hour and a half away from there and go hike often. The David Thompson hiway has incredible views with Water Falls and mountain lakes. Glad you took that turn toweards Abraham Lake and enjoyed the drive. Your welcome in Alberta anytime, enjoy the journey.
About 30 years ago I did my final scuba exam in Two Jack, in early May. It was snowing. I had a little cry. Then I got in. My regulator froze and I couldn’t breathe, but I was not very deep at all when that happened, I had to share my instructors regulator. I did pass lol. Probably just for being a tenacious Alberta girl.
So beautiful and peaceful! Glad you've been enjoying your time in Canada and we hope you come back many times again! You have been to probably the most beautiful areas, but there are many other interesting places to explore, especially in central and eastern Canada. Don't forget the big cities (like Toronto, highly diverse and walkable), Niagara Falls and Niagara on the Lake (a picturesque town surrounded by wineries), Quebec (French culture) and the Maritime provinces on the east coast. 🇨🇦 It's easy to cross the border at many of these locations so you can explore US destinations too! 🥰 🇺🇸
There’s so much to see in Canada 🇨🇦 we can’t wait to explore more. We went to Niagara Falls a couple years ago and did the maiden of the mist boat tour that was phenomenal!
Live your videos guys! Vancouverite here, and I’ve been enjoying your journey through BC and Alberta. It truly is a special place in the world. Btw: The real deal All Dressed chips are made by Ruffles. Miss Vickie’s isn’t quite the same.
Thank you!!! 😊 it’s been amazing. We can’t wait to come back to Vancouver and the surrounding area We have to get ruffles! Lots of people have said that
It's too bad you didn't do the Wilcox Pass hike - it's two minutes south of the Columbia Glacier centre and after a quick 100 metre climb, you wind up in a meadow filled with wildflowers and a stunning view of the glacier.
I miss when we used to be able to walk out in the glacier. I had been known to go on it in flip flops. The last time I was there was Oct 2022 (for my 50th birthday) and I was wearing sandals and a tshirt (I had a flannel shirt but had to take it off because I got too warm. I saw tourists wearing toques, ear muffs, and gloves but I was happy in my shorts. 😂 I also went swimming in pyramid lake, Jasper on that trip (there was a thin layer of ice on the lake). I really was born in the right place, I love the cold! ❄️☃️
Fabulous! Thanks for loving our beautiful parks ; pretty brave of you to swim in that cold water but wasn’t it marvellously clean and refreshing? My husband and I have jumped in many lakes up in Saskatchewan’s North. Thanks for coming! ♥️
I certainly hope you all had a chance to see some of the awesome Auroras lately. I have never seen the like in my region. Again, welcome to Alberta, have a great time.
@@deniseandreed oh I have seen em, never seen the like of that before, just a few wisps now and then during winter, nothing at all like the whole sky dancing and pulsing like that. Glad you saw em. Was a true gift to witness.
I when I visited the Athabasca Glacier I was excited to see it and stretch my legs after driving so long. I made the mistake of running up to see it. I hadn't considered the higher elevation and the fact I hadn't moved in hours. I felt the effects of low blood oxygen. Dizziness, shortness of breath with mild hyperventilation, tingling extremities and lips, overall numbness, slight headache. Exhaustion and feeling like I was dehydrated. Took a while for my body to return to normal. Its not super high elevation (around 8000 feet) but if anyone visits, don't go from zero to full sprint.
Hey guys, was looking for a link to buy you coffee or a pot of tea. After that cold plunge you have earned my respect. New meaning to Canadian chill. Sorry your breakdown ate so much of your Canada time. Come back soon
Hey Terry, these Canadian lakes are no joke! Haha it all worked out. We saw way more of Canmore than we ever would have which turned out to be amazing The link to buy a coffee is in the description. I’ll also post it here buymeacoffee.com/deniseandreed
We do have warm lakes too. The Glacier ones are VERY chilly though. If you come back to BC, you should go to Hornby Island. Tribune Bay is on the island is called little Hawaii.
All dresswd is basically all the canadian chup flavours combied which is why it tastes like bbq. It would also hsve ketchup flavour. I high recommend miss vickies spicy ketchup chips. Hardbite also makes good chips in like honey djon etc. Can buy at the grocery store or drug store.
There's one thing that I need to ask you folks. When you walked up to the glacier,did you think it was as far to walk as it turned out to be? I always find that the mountains and the glacier are so big that even the distances seem small until you start walking.
cool. miss vickie's applewood bbq are the best. all dressed are a combo. of bbq, ketchup, sour cream, ranch, and salt and vinegar - or something like that. i've never had the miss vickie's version.
Hey, you wonderful Yanks - didn't you taste the souçon of vinegar in the All Dressed chips? That's the telling note...as in how do you tell a Canadian from an American? Not 'colour vs. color' or 'Remembrance Day vs. Memorial Day' or 'Runners vs. Sneakers' but whether or not they can taste the vinegar in All Dressed. In all all seriousness, though, Miss Vickie's chips are kind of the high end chips here - the flavour, er, flavor balance tends to be fairly subtle (despite the piquancy of the overall effect). Try 'Ruffles' All Dressed and you'll really get the collision on your tongue.
You're mistake with the all dressed chips was to buy Miss Vickie's brand. The original all dressed chips and the one that you've heard about is the Ruffles brand. Nothing like a barbecue chip.
That’s great to know! The Columbia river is such an important river to the United States It seemed like Athabasca glacier fed the Arctic Ocean. Do you know which glacier supplies the Columbia?
I have bad news, those are not the correct All Dressed chips. Nothing wrong with a Miss Vickies chip, but it ain't the OG. Now you'll have to try more brands of them :)
@@deniseandreed Ruffles All-Dressed, and Old-Dutch Ketchup chips are the brands you should look for! They're all pretty good, but those are the brands that made the flavors famous. (Lays are also excellent)
There's one thing that I need to ask you folks. When you walked up to the glacier,did you think it was as far to walk as it turned out to be? I always find that the mountains and the glacier are so big that even the distances seem small until you start walking.
Yeah definitely. I think that’s one of the reasons people take the snow crawlers. Which we now know might be a wise option if you want to touch the glacier!
@@deniseandreed Jasper workers are able to cash in on a free snow coach ride every year. The company that owns them wants Jasper workers to be as informed as they can about what is being offered.
![LAVROV's interview with Tucker CARLSON 😁 [Parody]](/img/1.gif)
What do you think? Wolf or fox?
in the drayton valley, between jasper and edmonton, there have been wolves over 200 lbs.. some of the largest in the world.
Definitely fox, too cute for wolf
Definitely a wolf. Plus if I'm not mistaken, peyto is the native word for wolf.
Wolf. Muzzle larger. Beautiful

The people have spoken! RUFFLES beats Vickie’s all day
@@deniseandreed Well to be honest Miss Vickie's are kind of a premium chip as they're kettle cooked. For a real Canadian "All Dressed" experience go with Old Dutch, or Ruffles as Sara suggested.
Old Dutch! We’ll add it to the list

I just can't not watch you guys without smiling. So delighted to explore with you I hope you get a Bazillion subscribers
You Both + Great Content = Fabulous 😊
That’s too kind! Thanks for making our day 😊
That double rainbow was unbelievable
Canada is one of the most beautiful countries in the world.
That’s for sure!! What part of Canada do you love the most?
CANADA will miss you
Awww we will definitely be back!!!!
At about -40c/-40f the wind usually calms down at the IceFields. .
That wind was crazy
By far my favourite travel couple/people on RUclips!!!
Seem like cool people to chill with!
That’s so sweet! So glad you’ve been enjoying our vids

You read our minds, we were wondering about what it would be like to drink the glacier water. Now we have our answer. Thanks!
The ghost of glaciers past 👻😂❤️
Haha spooky stuff my friend
Bloopers was soooooooooo hilarious

Thank you!! That part of the park is underrated. I’m glad we did too
I wouldn't have tried swimming there so late in the year! 😅 But it takes your breath away...the scenery and the cold hitting your body.
It was hard to breathe at first!! Such a thrill

There was a time that the glassier was just a few meters away from the parking lot . I live in Alberta .
That would be such a sight to see… unreal!

Wow you are hard core!! So impressed and wish I could borrow some of your cold weather tenacity! Such a beautiful place to belong to ❤️
You guys are crazy, diving into that ice cold water . Lol
It was so much fun! Hahah
There is nothing quite as exhilarating as jumping into a mountain lake
Fabulous! Thanks for loving our beautiful parks ; pretty brave of you to swim in that cold water but wasn’t it marvellously clean and refreshing? My husband and I have jumped in many lakes up in Saskatchewan’s North. Thanks for coming! ♥️
Yes it was! The water in Canada is wonderful. It has spoiled us for sure haha
Do you have a favorite lake in Saskatchewan?
I certainly hope you all had a chance to see some of the awesome Auroras lately. I have never seen the like in my region. Again, welcome to Alberta, have a great time.
We were lucky enough to see them! It was amazing. We hope you get to see them in your region soon
@@deniseandreed oh I have seen em, never seen the like of that before, just a few wisps now and then during winter, nothing at all like the whole sky dancing and pulsing like that. Glad you saw em. Was a true gift to witness.
This is awesome! We love Banff its so beautiful up there!!! 😍
The whole area is stunning!! So much to do and see
What was your favorite part of your time in Banff??
@@deniseandreed moraine lake was incredible! Some of the bluest water we’ve ever seen! 😍

Oh my gosh that’s wild! That’s something I (Denise) would do so you’re not alone. So glad you recovered and it all worked out.
I have made this trip at least 30 times, and and couple in winter. Winter is the time to see it all on a clear day at minus 30.
We’d love to visit in the winter, I bet I’d INCREDIBLE. Minus 30? Oooof you Canadians are hardcore hahaha.
In the winter Abraham lake is frozen and it has bubbles.
I bet it would be very cool to see it in the winter!
The North End of the lake looked more like a fox to me because of the Slender snout. Lived in Jasper township 1978-2017.
Once you see it, you can’t unsee it!
So much fun 🎉😂 thanks for sharing. Stay safe always and God bless.
Thank you! You too!

What about old Dutch all dressed up?
@@deniseandreed Old Dutch is more like the Ruffles ones but still not the same.
The Columbia Icefields is the head waters of the Columbia River. Nancy
And the Columbia River supplies a lot of water to the United States.
That’s great to know! The Columbia river is such an important river to the United States
It seemed like Athabasca glacier fed the Arctic Ocean. Do you know which glacier supplies the Columbia?
Not sure. Nancy
It's too bad about all the smoke. It didn't used to be like that, but it's like that every summer now. The Jasper fire was a catastrophe.
Our thoughts go out to everyone affected by that fire! We hope to see Jasper one day.
All Dressed is a mix of bbq salt and vinegar sour cream and onion and ketchup.
Delicioso!
The greatest chip ever!
Reed looks like NicePool. if you know, you know.
Hahaha that’s so funny.! We watched the new Deadpool when we were in Revelstoke
Payton lake looks like a FOX
I have bad news, those are not the correct All Dressed chips. Nothing wrong with a Miss Vickies chip, but it ain't the OG. Now you'll have to try more brands of them :)
Oh darn, we’re going to have to try an assortment of chip brands. Darn…. Such bad luck… haha! We will do it and will report back.

That’s what we’ve been told! We will definitely need to try a few more brands
I might lose my Canadian citizenship for saying this, but All Dressed chips are nasty.
Yep, you better get out before anyone else finds out you said that.
I agree. Theyre disgusting.
