That’s the thing about climbing/hiking-even before you take your first step, you have to understand that you have to go back, even when you make it all the way to the top! So planning your ascent and decent, are both critical. Nobody can predict where the wildlife are, especially the predators. Hiking 🥾 especially mountaineering/climbing are definitely things that require a lot of thoughtful planning.

Foresty does not say much about where he is, other than the names of little known mountains whose names I recognized, but after a lifetime of living in BC and Alberta and studying Western Canadian geography, I can provide information to those watching around the world. This is along the British Columbia - Alberta provincial border just west of Banff and Jasper National Parks on the west (BC) side of the Rocky Mountains, in the Columbia Icefield region, the largest glacier system in the range, and it also has the largest collection of high peaks, 12 over 3300 meters / 11,000 feet above sea level, and 3 more over 3650 meters / 12,000 feet. If the mountains seem higher, it is because the valleys are very deep here, descending to around 3000 feet above sea level, or even lower. Only Mt Robson, about 150 km / 90 miles north of here, is higher in Canada's Rockies, and it is right on the Yellowhead Pass Highway #16. The east side of the Columbia Icefield is easily accessed by the world-famous "Icefields Parkway" highway which connects Banff and Jasper National Parks. There are numerous videos of it on YT, and it is very busy in summer. The west side, where Foresty is here, was inaccessible as recently as the 1970's (except by the most skilled and determined wilderness travellers, involving a week or more of travel) until the logging roads were built in the 1980's and 1990's originating in the small towns of Golden and Valemount, about 120 km / 80 miles away, one to the south and one to the north. Anyone contemplating travel on these roads should check locally first with the British Columbia Forest Service Office, some are active logging haul roads, and may be closed for safety reasons. Those that are open are very risky to travel on due to remoteness, weather, mud, floods, slides, washouts, fallen trees, un-maintained bridges, overgrown shrubbery, steep hills, potential tire punctures are all things that can affect you, and numerous bears, cougars and wolves exist, the majority which will leave humans alone if proper techniques of co-existence are followed, just as they do in the nearby National Parks. Be aware you could get trapped in a remote area and assistance could be days or even a week away by foot. Satellite phones will work, cellphones do not. There are no residents or services between Golden and Valemount, the huge Kinbasket Lake Reservoir since 1975 fills the main valley, just 800 meters / 2500 feet above sea level, called the Rocky Mountain Trench, between these towns. It is the flooded headwaters of the Columbia River, the same river that empties into the Pacific Ocean 1600 km / 1000 miles downstream along the Oregon-Washington State border in the USA. Early explorers and fur traders actually travelled to the mouth of that river at Fort Astoria in Oregon in the early 1800's from Jasper House, a trading post near the present day town of Jasper, Alberta. 00:00 - 00:10 - looking north into Jasper National Park, Jasper Park is 8800 sq km / 4200 sq miles. 00:10 - 00:40 - along the very remote Bush River Valley, just above Kinbasket Lake 03:15 - 04:35 - ascending the very remote west side of the Columbia Icefield. Most of the views look southwest. 04:38 - Mt Columbia, second highest peak in Canada's Rocky Mountains 12294 feet above sea level. You can see it through binoculars from the top of the Kicking Horse Ski Resort at Golden BC, 120 km / 60 miles away. It is not visible from highways. 04:45 - North Twin Peak in the distance, third highest in Canada's Rockies, 12085 feet above sea level, South Twin 11684 feet in front of it. This looks east into Jasper National Park. The Icefield Parkway highway is on the other side of these peaks, in a 4000 - 6000 foot high valley. 04:55 - Mt Bryce 11507 feet at left top, Bush River Valley leading to the flooded Columbia River about 50 km distant in center. 06:02 - Behind Foresty the Rockies stretch west into BC, west of the Rocky Mountain Trench and Kinbasket Lake they are called the Columbia River Mountains, better known by their sub-ranges of the Cariboo, Purcell, Selkirk and Monashees. Famous for helicopter skiing, they end about 250 km / 150 miles west of here. 07:00 - looking west to the super-remote Chaba (Indigenous People's word for beaver) Icefield. 07:23 - looking south into Banff National Park in the distance. Banff Park is 5500 sq km / 2500 sq miles. 15:00 - looking west into British Columbia. 15:05 - looking north into Jasper National Park. Foresty said snowmobiles sometimes come up here from the town of Golden, but they have to be careful not to enter the National Park, as the boundary is "hard to find". Note it's a trip for a highly expert, highly experienced snowmobile group ONLY, winter temperatures -10C to -50 C. 15:15 - looking east into Alberta where Banff and Jasper National Parks join together. Many smaller and lesser known parks join on to them. Total protected area is about 20,000 sq km / 10,000 sq miles. 15:16 - in the center is the valley holding the Icefield Parkway highway. South to Banff, north to Jasper. I lived many years in both towns working in the tourism industry, commercial and residential development is EXTREMELY restricted and controlled by the Canadian National Parks Service. People may wonder how I know all this. I study Western Canada, and have lived here all my life, now 60 years. I have hiked and climbed in many places, travelled like Foresty for many years, lived in many towns, read all the excellent guidebooks, geography books, historical books, many now out of print, that have been published for decades on this region, and studied countless topo maps for hours at a time, just for fun.

Man, Foresty's channel is real van life, outdoors and living the dream. I look at some of the other van channels and I see ridiculous animated narrative. Holding head in hand, kissing a van, pounding chest, squeaking, money grabbing live streams the day after each and every announced need to spend money on a fix or a toy. Then we have humble, active honest Foresty working hard to provide such straight up content and narrative. It's a real delight to watch all of his content.
