The most touristy town the world.
Рет қаралды 26,817
2 жыл бұрынIn episode 124 of Truck House Life, I'll take you to one of the craziest tourist towns I've ever been to, the town of Banff, in Banff National Park. There were too many humans in town and on the trails, although I can see why, as the scenery is incredible. In this episode I'll fix the truck, get back on the road and take you into the chaos... maybe even sneak a onewheel ride in!

If you are looking for a quite friendly town to camp not big 5000 people there a camp sites right on the river beautiful and start of the Rockies Sundre Alberta maybe some boomdocking if you go out to end of town . Canmore is beautiful and not so busy with tourists like Banff.Banff is beautiful place but expensive . If your looking for city Edmonton they have that big mall . There another camp place call bergin Out from Sundre to camp . And of course there BMO land free if you want off experience . I lived in Alberta for 13 years . Saskatchewan also pretty land .New to your site and loved the video blogs . We enjoyed following you

We have had a couple vans but our last four vehicles for travel have been Ford trucks. Our last two were 6.7 F-350's. Now we pull a 35 foot Solitude with a 2020 F-350 Diesel. Love it. Always loved the design of your truck. My 91 was similar and it took us to every state in the lower 48. Keep on trucking!

I remember Banff around 2005. It was idyllic. The last couple times I rolled through it was like this video. WAY too many people and people in the campground were stacked on top of each other. I much prefer Yoho and Kootenay. I think Tim mentions Golden.... not too far from Radium Hot Springs. That was a nice little place to chill. Update: Woops... looks like a different "Golden". I thought he meant Golden BC.
