We decided to take on living in our van down by the river this week, boondocking our way through Alberta at our own pace. It's hard to believe that Alberta's best (and possibly Canada's most beautiful) public land is free to use (after the purchase of a low-cost annual permit, but the area around Abraham Lake and down Alberta's David Thompson Highway is absolutely out of this world. The North Saskatchewan river runs east-west in a valley through a bowl of mountains, so naturally - we wanted to get as close to a birds-eye view as we could.
We've been living van life our way since the start - climbing mountains, camping in breathtaking camp spots, and enjoying the finest Alpine scenery from the start. Subscribe to our channel for more content like this, and if there's anywhere in Alberta, BC, or eventually the western United States you think we should go, leave us a comment or send us an email with your suggestions. This location was user-submitted, after all (thanks Jonetta!)

We are a couple of full-time travel dreamers who decided to pack up our lives to explore the world - and then 2020 happened. After flying back home, we were not ready to give up our new lifestyle yet, so we bought a minivan, converted it into a DIY minivan camper, and drove across Canada in search of beautiful campsites and stunning mountains to climb. We are currently on a different sort of adventure, converting a Ford Transit cargo van into our new full-time home on wheels in hopes of exploring North America and conquering more mountains - and hopefully even the Arctic Ocean!

Tuff Puff - what a great name for a mountain peak! It was like a mini rainbow mountain - your drone shots throughout the whole of this video were all kinds of beautiful!

Thank you! It’s from Lululemon - I believe it’s the Down For It All jacket. It seems to come out every fall in different colours
