    If memory serves me correct, 50 years ago the toe of the glacier was down at the parking lot just off the highway. I was a kid and my parents took us there and we played on the glacier, this would be before the bus trips . Thanks for sharing this.

    Wow David. You are one incredible person. Thank you so much for this. Video. It’s a reminder that Canada is still beautiful.
    I so look forward to your content. Exactly what Canadians want to know. Every morning I look to see moose on the loose notification and I know it’s going to be a good day. Thank you so much for your hard work.

      bears have been known to cross glaciers so technically they can pop over but you'd see them from kms away

      if you can fit 30L and are ok with Aonijie their 30L pack is pretty amazing. UD 40 is awesome teh 50 Swift is got that extra space they all have their place.
