- Pavement is nice, but dirt is better as we get the secret intel on a road that slices through one of the most beautiful places on earth - Banff National Park in the Northern Rockies of Canada. Plus, we once again ride our motorcycle through the last of the wildfires that burn through Jasper, and we have a mishap while flying the drone...

Always good entertainment.. take care
Thank you Andrew Ewan! Take care as well.
Yeah, I remember version 1 of Sim City, 1990 or so. Already had a job. Now I feel really old. Beautiful mountain shots guys!
😂 I aged us both!
Once again stunning pics M , the scenery was incredible, I really don’t know how you’ll better that , Stay safe, GL
Thanks GL! We often think to ourselves "that's going to be hard to beat' and then we find ourselves in another absolutely stunning landscape!
The world is full of magical places!
Amazing scenery, just beautiful.....great dronage Marisa!!
Thank you Bob!
Yes! Did that loop summer before last. 👏👏👍👍
Nice!! I hope you had as good weather as we had. It was certainly fun.
I just found your channel!! Now for the marathon of looking at your other videos! Thanks! And Tim, you are at the very least one of the luckiest men in the world!! How on earth did you find such a wonderful woman?? 🙂 👍
Thanks and welcome aboard! We are glad to have you along for the ride and hope that you enjoy all of the content!
I definitely lucked out when Marisa said yes to dating me, going on a motorcycle adventure, and then when I asked her to marry me!
Oh wow !! That was a close call with the drone and the tree. Glad it didn't crash, cause I love the drone footage you guys share in your videos.
Beautiful scenery you two !!!
Stay safe !
Thanks Michael, yeah I'm pretty glad the drone didn't crash either. But it was such a close call, it really freaked us out. Looking back on it, it's quite funny, but in the moment, it was not good. But I agree, the drone footage is worth all the problems having it may cause...
I'm going to have to quit watching your Alaska videos. LOL, I keep adding sidetracks that I previously were not going to do. McCarthey, Hatcher Pass, waterfall on Ice Highway, etc. At this rate, when I leave NC in July. I won't get back until October. Oh well, I can live with that! Thanks for the travel tips!!
Your 1st sentence scared me 😂.
There is so much to see in one trip, and we only covered a small fraction of the available beautiful roads!
Thanks for riding along with us!
@@2UpAndOverloaded This will be my second trip to Alaska via motorcycle. The first time I flew, and rented a Harley. This time I'm riding my BMW R1250GSA. I won't be limited to which roads I can venture on. I'm just waiting on the ferry schedules to be published at the end of Feb to plan my return route.
You had some great info about the ferry frequency from Haines to Skagway. Once I have that ironed out, I'll be able to complete my planning. Thanks for all the valuable tips.
Rick. There can never be enough trips up to Alaska. There are so many things and places to see. And motorcycle travel up that way is fun as well.
@@jimandvalstravelchannel I concur! I ride approximately 25,000 miles a year between my HD & BMW.
If you can, you should find a day or two for a side trip to Barkersville BC. it’s a period town and one of the most important places in Canadian history …
Absolutely AWESOME!!! 💖
Thank you ChicReal!
Great meeting you and having a fun camp time; saying “awesome videos” is putting it lightly. Great content and insights, looking forward to more. Ride safe as always and hope to cross paths again! 🤟
I had such a great time and Marisa was super bummed that she couldn't be there this time.... but next time she will be sure to make an appearance as she is everyone's favorite member of 2Up and Overloaded! lol.
Great video thank you very well done. My wife and I are looking forward to the next one thanks for taking us along cheers to ya.
Thank you so much Bruce! It's always a pleasure to read your comments! Cheers, and tell your wife Marisa says hello 😃.
Thanks!
Thank you Don!!!! You are too kind and we can't thank you enough for all of the support!!!!
Wow!!! What amazing scenery. Thanks once again for taking us along.
Glad you liked it John Grigg!
Great episode as usual. I agree with another commenter that you keep giving me more stuff to see and ride next year when I go with my buddies. Keep it coming though!
Great picture of y’all with your friends, too!
Thank you so much Chris Pope! Unfortunately, there are too many awesome roads in this world to ever get to all of them, but it's nice to have local advice to help us narrow them down to the best of the best. Though I don't think you can really go wrong out there. Thanks for watching!
Slidy Mount Rundle
Yup! I have now learned that this is actually called Mount Rundle. But it will always remain Slidey McMountain in my heart.
I'm reading Maiden Voyage right now while on vacation and enjoying it very much.
Now I want to see Marisa's size 3 ring!
I feel like I know you both much better from the book and it makes your videos even better.
Fabulous music editing as always.
Thank you so much and I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying the book! I can't wait to hear what you think once you are finished!
Please do keep in touch!!!
That was awesome guys, I'm hoping to ride up there this year maybe, only live a days ride away, we will see. Thanks Tim and Marisa
You're very welcome Ian Ferrier. It is such a special place on earth with so many incredible lakes and mountains all squished into one easily-accessible location, it's definitely worth the effort of getting there.
Oh my, WHY HAVEN'T I EVER BEEN THERE??? I flew into Calgary once for a business meeting. Wow, Wow... This is going on top of our list to go see on our next trip home. I hope we can get a Visa for Umi. Marisa, Your drone shots were wonderful :-). Great video, Cheers, and Ride On!
Ok 👌👍 super
Thank you Chema!
I’m reading 2 Up and Overloaded now.
Nice!!! That is so awesome!!! I hope you enjoy the read!!!
@@2UpAndOverloaded I enjoyed Madden Voyage.
nice to see an SA make an appearance :)
Yes, although we didn't make videos when we were in South Africa like we do now, we are going to do flashback videos to our incredible adventures there. So stay tuned for that, and thanks for watching and commenting!
slighty mountain... Is Mount Rundle
Thank you! We couldn't find the real name! I'm glad to know that it's not Slidey McMountain, but actually Mount Rundle. And what a beautiful mountain it is! Thank you for commenting with the information!
Just got back from a bike ride for Cuban food in Miami 😎…
(You know is a boring moment when you drive 600 miles for a Cuban sandwich) anyway, it’s cool to come back and see a vid of more great parts of North America!!
Well done !!
🙏🙏
Thanks Tim!
One of these days we will have to tag along with you for one of them Cuban sandwiches!
@@2UpAndOverloaded yes, I agree …
🙏🙏
Love the editing, cinematography and narration. Were you both in the media business before becoming adventurers?
Before watching this video, I figured you were going to say people should ride Highway 1A, which runs just east of Highway 1 between Banff and Lake Louise. You tricked me. And I just got the mini 3 Pro and am loving it. Studying for the Part 107 Remote Pilot License test that you are required to have if you are going to post drone video footage on monetized social media. I'm sure you guys will like the Mini 3 Pro once you get it. That sensor protection is great. Great video as always. Hope to see you at OEX West in May or OEX Mtn in August.
Hi Jim and Val, I was unaware about that road, but now I wish I had taken it! Maybe you'll have to go ride it and make a video on it to show me 😉. And yes, I think having some sensors on the drone will make a big difference... I'm glad you're loving the Mini 3 Pro, that's actually the one I'm looking into at the moment. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@2UpAndOverloaded I took that road back in 2015. It isn't a long road, but it had very little traffic.
@@2UpAndOverloaded I need to head that way again to check on my sign at the Sign Post Forrest up in Watson Lake. I originally posted it up there in 2013, then revisited it in 2015. So it is time!
@@jimandvalstravelchannel judging by the area, it just has to be a gorgeous road. Even the little road we took to Lake Moraine was stunning, though I've heard they are closing it down to traffic next year. Well, when we're in the area again we'll have to go check the road out. Thanks for the advice!
Hey guys, I’ve been watching your African and Alaska videos and also the Central America ones, but I can’t find the Panama
Video or the trip from Columbia
To Ushuaia. Just wondering if there are videos of them and if so, where can I find them? Thanks for sharing your trips,
you’re helping to keep my dream alive.
Ride safe.
Bill.
So our videos in that series are all flashbacks that we made later on using older footage, and so there are huge gaps missing in the chronology. But fear not, because we will be hopefully filling in those gaps soon! Sorry about the confusion, and thanks as always for watching. If you're dying to know what happened to us and all the crazy adventures we had in the Americas before we get to those videos, you can always read our books. Especially "Blood, Sweat, and Notiers" since that is all about South America.
@@2UpAndOverloaded thank you.
Do you guys really travel so slow that Marisa has vegetation growing from her backpack?! What is the story behind that and I am surprised it's held up all the way from Alaska. Sorry if it was mentioned and I missed it.
You guys will have to head back to see Peyto Lake! Look up images of Peyto Lake Overlook for inspiration. That and Moraine Lake were highlights of my ride through that area.
Ha! No we have not mentioned the flower, at least not in any recent videos, but we do get asked about it a lot. Basically, one time in Columbia I bought Marisa a fake rose because we couldn't take a real one on the road. She put it on her backpack, and then when that one deteriorated, I got her a new one in Africa, and then did the same in Alaska. It's something nice that the people behind us see and can smile at, and Marisa likes it!
As far as your other comment about Peyto Lake goes, I looked it up and it is gorgeous! So sad we missed it, but I'm pretty sure there's a lifetime of hidden gems to see in that area. But that just gives us a reason to go back! Thanks for the information Zach B!
Enjoy your video.
Just a side track question. How old are you two
Hi Attie Ven. To answer your question, Marisa is 38 and I am 40. We've been on the road on and off (mostly on, the pandemic threw a wrench in for a while) for over 5 years, so I started when I was 35. Thanks for watching, and we always all the questions you have. Anything else, we'll always try to answer.
is it legal to swim in the blue waters ?🤭... "slidy mountain " and who said canadians didn't have a sense of humor...atleast marisa drone skills have improved
lol! Thanks for making us laugh... and for riding along with us!
I'm too old to even know what sim city is
Yeah, I guess even within the right generation, only some people played that game, and even fewer as much as I did. And for some reason, my simulated cities were always catching on fire...
Come Saudi Arabia
We are planning on visiting Saudi Arabia! We actually wanted to go years ago as we were making our way up through Africa, but then we got stuck in Uganda during the pandemic. But we're going to get to Saudia, we promise! Any special places that you would recommend that we see?
how did you afford your travel?
So we saved up for more than three years in order to pay for our travels. That was more than five years ago, and we have since supplemented our income with freelance writing, selling books, social media, and working odd jobs. What's amazing is that it hasn't been as expensive to travel full time as we expected 😄. Thanks for the awesome question!
