This made me tearful of JOY! I said I'd go to the Rockies this Summer, although I didn't - you brought the most breathtaking and stunning views in reach. With gratitude. This was extremely MOVING!!!
@@alainsauve6965 thats nuts man haha. its impressive but nuts lol. thats what you call a passion for driving right there. after 5 hours, i start to get sleepy
I'm an international student from China, I have been here in Canada for 6 years. My ex-girlfriend, me myself and our 80-lbs Doberman travelled the same route. This video arouses me those beautiful memories and brings me to tears. She went back to China after her undergraduate and I chose to start my Msc. Miss her and our dog. Love Canada, a beautiful and friendly country.
It is so annoying further you go up north the slower you have to travel and it just drags the whole Ontario part of the journey out lol but as soon as you get into the other provinces, you are flying
A joke: An elderly Saskatchewan farmer who has never left the province receives a Via rail trip through the Rockies. After the trip he is asked what he thought of the scenery. "Scenery? Couldn't see a damn thing with all these mountains stuck in the way."
If you take the northern route through Ontario you'd find that the prairies are the first real reward. The southern route looks a smidge more enjoyable but the Canadian Shield just feels endlessly repetitive. When you're used to living in or near it, especially.
Saskatchewan has sand cactus and forrest. You don't see the real Saskatchewan from the highway. I live in Calgary but spent a year in swift current. Beautiful provinces. Saskatchewan rivers are something to see in North battleford Saskatchewan. Get out its worth it.
@@AdventuresOutHere Maybe you could do St. Johns, NF to Vancouver one day. That would be the ultimate trans-continental road trip, and a trip of a lifetime.
My first long haul trucking trip was Toronto - Vancouver. The most stressful yet enjoyable ride I’ve ever encountered. Downshifting loaded semi up those hills definitely get your blood racing. 13 speed eaton, I hate you but you’ve taught me life.
I drove this last summer, but stopped in Banff rather than Vancouver, continuing north towards Jasper on the Icefields Parkway (Hwy 93) from Banff. The mountains are much more impressive in person than on video, just absolutely towering above you. And you need to get off the highway to see Lake Louise, and Lake Peyto which is next to the Icefields Parkway. I actually was impressed by the Prairies, especially right after Winnipeg where the flatness is so immense that you feel the horizon is impossibly far away and the sky is gigantic. It was a really unique feeling.
You're someone who has actually taken the time to experience the prairies and understands that feeling of omnipotence of their vastness. It's its own kind of beauty that can never be captured in a mere picture. People who just say 'it's flat' really can't understand.
@@Sotto_ I've lived on the prairies my whole life and I still love it here for those very reasons. There is a certain beauty when the horizon is 10 or 15 miles away.
I had did this trip too back in 2015 going to Vancouver from Toronto and did it going back to Toronto in 2018. Definitely a lifetime experience to drive across the country and discover differnt provinces and its beautiful nature. Probably the worst stretches of the drive was northern Ontario where's there no pit stops and no scenery and through parts of Saskatchewan and leaving Alberta through Calgary where there's nothing but endless straight roads... btw I drove it in a Toyota matrix too and the car still running until this day.
Admit that Northern Ontario is also beautiful part of a Canada. Hard Rock Canadian Shield near Kenora, Ontario. The lake of the woods area, feels like stepping back to 1950’s. The excellent walleye, small mouth bass, and muskies is great fishing area. Relaxing on remote Canadian Shield island basking in the sun, diving into fresh water 💧. Awesome.
I’m from the prairies, the mantario area of the shield has always been my favourite getaway spot. Hard to beat the tranquility of the many lakes in that area.
Lake of the Woods in summertime is the best place in Canada hands down. trust me I live in BC I stll dream about summer time in lake of the woods by far the best place in Canada during the summer.
Quarantine and layoff allowed 3 of my friends and i to make this trip. It was INSANE, these videos can only be so good you will never be able to experience the sheer scale of the mountains, the fresh air, the feeling of absolute wilderness without light pollution! Canadians before you travel anywhere else please please please do this trip first! You wont regret it
My friends and I drove across the Rockies at 1:00 AM through a blizzard in a van from BC to Alberta to go snowboarding at Sunshine Village and Lake Louise. We rented a house in beautiful Canmore AB. One of the best trips of my life.
I've done this trip numerous times. Both in cars, truck and I even bobtailed a new truck I just bought in Windsor back to Alberta. Ontario is huge. The trip never gets old.
I drove or rode most what was shown in this video. The Canadian Rockies were SPECTACULAR! Every Canadian should put a trip from Jasper to Banff on their bucket list. You won't regret it!
I was thinking the same thing, Ive been living in the Okanagan for the last 8 years and you get so used to it. But its truly one of the most beautiful places in the world!
I totally agree I live in Calgary, moved here almost 10 years ago now. I've grown to hate it here simply because of the city life, dryness and the weather. But I definitely cannot deny the magic of the mountains and forests out west. It's so easy to forget when you are stuck in everyday life, the beauty around you just becomes part of the background. I've been wanting to travel so bad since before covid to see cool new places around the world, but ironically there are still so many cool places to see in my own "backyard".
On summer vacations over a period of twenty years, I drove with my family from Vancouver Island to Prince Edward Island and almost everywhere in between. What an amazing country we live in, looking forward to travelling again once the Pandemic ends.
I come from the year 2024. The Pandemic never ends, but there is hope... If you just take one more booster... and another... and another... Otherwise you're a russian nazi. Thank a Trucker for the lockdowns ending!
I did the same trip in 2014!!!! what an amazing experience.... I was the only driver and driving 11,000 km from Toronto to Vancouver and back was amazing.... Would love to do that again one day...
Thank you for this... my best friend and I drove this when we had no cell phone cameras.. it brings a tear watching this... it truly is a beautiful Country 🇨🇦 🍁
This video brought back so many beautiful memories! I drove by myself in 1985 from downtown Toronto to downtown Winnipeg in 20 1/2 hours nonstop! I had the most wonderful times in my travels and I met my family there in Winnipeg, but this video brought back memories thank you for sharing....✅
1:312:275:49 The road trip views!!! I have no words to describe how relaxing it was watching this it brought a smile to my face...makes me want to go on a road trip. The background music matched it perfectly also
Thank you for this video! I've done this drive over a dozen times and it never gets old. All the places you put in this clip gave me great flashbacks. Can't wait to get back on the road again!
Calgary to Vancouver is definitely the most scenic part but we've always wanted to drive across Canada and are very glad we did. It's very interesting to see the different landscapes of Canada.
It is also the most dangerous drive of the journey. Mud slide, wildlife, narrow turns, heavy rain & snow fall, double lane double direction traffic, uphill & downhills, truck tailgaters, oncoming passing vehicle ruching right in front of your lane towards you. You name it they have it.
My girlfriend and I did the same trip back in September, only we started in Ottawa. We ended up stopping in Sault. Ste Marie, Thunder Bay, (had to drive through Winnepeg to Regina cuz of their Covid restrictions at the time) Calgary, and Banff. We ended up driving home up through Edmonton but when in Edmonton we realized we didn't really have to be home for anything, and Vancouver was so close we might as well check it out. After a day in Edmonton, we drove back to Banff, stayed there for a day, and then headed to Vancouver. We hit Saskatoon on the way back and since we had been in western Canada for 2 weeks we were technically allowed to stay in Winnipeg as well. So we stayed for a night there and drove back. Honestly, if it weren't for Covid travel restrictions abroad we would have never really thought to do a Canada trip. In hindsight though, it was one of the most beautiful and diverse trips we had ever done. Canada was never really on our bucket list of travel destinations but after doing the journey I cant recommend it enough. We were originally only going to spend a few days in Banff but ended up staying there for 9 days (including that one day we stayed back from Edmonton and one night back from Vancouver) Honestly fell in love with the mountains but Calgary had to much to offer, we were only gonna spend a night there but ended up booking 2 nights instead. Winnipeg was awesome, driving through Ontario alone was absolutely breathtaking. Driving through the Rockies was so special. I could talk for days about our trip but if you ever have the chance, do it. It took us about 3 weeks to go there and back but could have easily been done in less. Was honestly a trip of a lifetime, and the driving wasn't bad at all. We ended up spending about 2k each on the trip but if you bring camping gear or even tents for the night and book campsites, and budget your eating (we did not hold back on food lol) you can probably do it for 1000-1500. The gas wasn't bad at all, food will probably be the most expensive part, apart from accommodations. We stayed at fairly nice places but the prices were pretty cheap because of Covid so we got good deals. We even stayed at a Fairmont in Winnipeg for $80. If there was ever a time to do it, id say do it now. Especially in Banff, many of the experiences were outdoors so Covid didn't really affect them. Canada is so damn beautiful and made me love the country so much more than I already do. If you have any questions I'm more than happy to answer!
@@delbhudzsantos We just booked the day before or the morning of. Didnt really wanna risk not getting a room or worse paying a lot more by walking in. We booked using an app called Hopper. I really liked their platform and booking was easy and support was pretty good if we needed it (Ive used them for other trips as well) I think once or twice we booked through other websites like booking.com. We didnt really wanna book ahead of the whole trip just cuz driving we never really knew if we were gunna make it to a certain city by a certain date or like in Calgary we got there and only booked for a night but we wanted to explore the city a bit more when we got there and booked an extra day. If we had already booked our place in Banff we wouldnt have been able to do an extra day in Calgary. We didnt really see any difference in prices booking a few days or a week in advance vs. booking the day before or morning of but even if there was a bit of a price increase, I prefered the flexibility. Let me know if you have any other questions!
awesome drive . was a young boy in 77 when my family migrated west from toronto. never went back. been a BC boy ever since. thanks for the trip back in time.
If anyone has more time to travel, please make sure visit northern Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Limestone beds, small falls, lakes and trees. It is beautiful.
Yeah, Hwy 1 was made that way so that the nice stuff in MB & SK would remain unknowned to those who are not ready to do a few more steps to see our gems. In a way, same thing in AB... Lots of Ppl ignore Waterton Lakes National Park even though it's absolutly amazing (Make sure U cross the boder at Chief Mountain Port of Entry and do the famous "Road to the sun" in MT and come back by the Roosville port of entry in eastern BC then close the loop by going back to AB using Hwy 3 Crowsnest Pass and see the "Frankslide")
Took me 12 weeks when I thumbed it 20 years ago. Time of my life. I was in no hurry and really took my time to hang out in many cities and towns. Thanks for the video, it brought back many memories.🇨🇦
I have been across Canada 10 times and we now take the Red Coat Trail, if heading west , when you get to Winnipeg you take Hwy 2 south west of Winnipeg and then drive 2 to Sask then 13 thru Sask to Shawnavan then if adventurous over to Eastend then into Alberta on Hwy 502 which is gravel to near Manyberries then several roads will take you the Lethbridge then take the Crows Nest Hwy to BC and the southern route thru the Kootenays and Okanagan via hwy 3 the Vancouver, less traffic just as spectactular scenery.
Just plotted a route to go east, did not know about until red rout, until I just read your comment, my route follows to the t, as I wanted to keep off hwy one,
@@shrory two of our favourite plates to stay on the way are Foremost Alberta nice camp ground with power $22 per night and Cadillac Sask no services camping by donation at the post office if open. most of the small towns have camp grounds.Don't stay at Weyburn not good camp ground. by gas at the COOP stations usually cheapest.
You have to keep in mind just how huge Canada is. In the UK, within a few hours you can be in any number of different countries. In Canada, you can drive sometimes for days until the scenery changes appreciably. Like anywhere, if you don't take the opportunity to experience it, you only know what you live.
This is a road drip everyone has to make at least once. I went back in 2015, in grade 11. I am think of doing it again, but this time I wanna take my RX8, enjoy the Rockies with the beautiful sound of a rotary.
I have done this drive!! Such a beautiful road trip! You must as a Canadian, do this road trip from Vancouver to Newfoundland!! That is my bucket list to drive all the way out Eaat to our Maritimes!!♡
Vancouver yea but Calgary, the only people who can see the mountains are in the upper North of the city or west of the city and even then very tiny in the distance. Other than that flat and hills and -30weather
I live in Calgary and we have cars and trucks. 30 minutes I see stuff most people never will. The only place where you share your catch at the lake with a family of black bears none negotiable. And fish and wildlife helicopter. It was an interesting night. No sleep just screamers shot from a helicopter.
Yeah... that’s just a Vancouver thing. Alberta technically has a lot of beauty in the mountains but it’s all up in the sparsely populated area that’s on the border with BC.
@@maxwell_abe2894 the south has too many hills to see the mountains but from downtown and all of the north mountains are easy to see. And the winter is the most mild in canada besides Vancouver. So idk what you are smoking LOL
Wow! Great travel video. Holy crap, those mountains from Banff to BC are actually breathtakingly beautiful. I have only traveled to Ontario, but this video sure demonstrates why the Trans-Canada highway is so famous. This just gives me another reason to love Canada. "The list is getting really, really long". 👽✌️🇨🇦
@@djensen1389 Get on an isolated gravel road on the prairies in the middle of summer, stop your car somewhere where you can't see any buildings or traffic, turn off the engine and get out. The size of the prairies - on par with mountains and ocean if you see it for what it is. It's not just nothing, it's huge. Makes you feel small.
That’s a 12hr drive I’ve done many times and love. So much so that I’ve actually flown to Calgary and rented a vehicle to make that trip (and done the reverse from Vancouver as well) on several occasions...
I hitchhiked from Toronto to Vancouver in June of 1969. I was in awe from start to finish. This is a great video! The whole country is incredibly beautiful. Those who find the prairies boring aren’t paying attention.
WoW !! Quelle vidéo! Elle m’a rappelé mon road trip Québec - Vancouver - Seattle !! Plein de frissons!! Je me prépare pour un retour l’année prochaine et ça me donne encore plus envie d’y être de nouveau !! Merci !!
I can proudly say I’ve done this exact road trip back in 2019 and I still remember most of the sceneries in this video! Tho I did go from Saskatoon to Edmonton first before going to Calgary then Banff. On the last day of the trip I was so excited about getting home I left Banff at 3 am and drove all night thru the mountains and got home at 11 am!
This brings back memories, I drove this route to Edmonton. Loved the drive. While driving it I had planned to go back and make a library of videos to show the beauty of Canada. He beat me to it but i still plan on driving it again.
This made me tearful of JOY! I said I'd go to the Rockies this Summer, although I didn't - you brought the most breathtaking and stunning views in reach. With gratitude. This was extremely MOVING!!!

Ontario is as far as of gone. I did not realise how BEAUTIFUL Canada is.. AWESOME filming..
Drone footge 4 k rockie mountians on you tube , it,s 1 hour long and is just like being there , i watch it when i miss the mountains and beauty
I think this video made us all want to go visit the Rockies.
And its hard to believe that he drove all of it in 7 minutes
I could do it in 5🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Took me 4 days from Fredericton N.B to Williams lake B.C then 4 and a half days from Williams lake to Vancouver then east to Fall river N.S

Just getting out of Ontario is a big chunk of the trip.
Ikr its a big ass country
try it in winter lol
It is so annoying further you go up north the slower you have to travel and it just drags the whole Ontario part of the journey out lol but as soon as you get into the other provinces, you are flying
Toronto to Manitoba is 2 days alone, 10 hours per day.
@@xtra8509 I drove across MB and SK, 1400 km, 1 day. Tired. Then on the way back, drove Deadmonton to Owen Sound (small sleep in Wawa). Don't do that.
The Rockies are the reward to making it through the prairies.

Haha, I would start in Calgary and end in Tofino
The Prairies are a reward in itself
Honestly the Rockies get -meh-after the first while also...
Alberta has a nice balance of geography. Prairie in the East, mountains in the West, dense forest in the North
Saskatchewan: ____________
just missing a big body of water like an ocean :( But Alberta and BC gotta be the 2 most geographically gifted provinces in Canada, easily.
@@GsunnyGGamer Alberta has thousands of lakes
Badlands in the south.
Saskatchewan has sand cactus and forrest. You don't see the real Saskatchewan from the highway. I live in Calgary but spent a year in swift current. Beautiful provinces. Saskatchewan rivers are something to see in North battleford Saskatchewan. Get out its worth it.

not one but the most
Canada is definitely one of the most beautiful country on this planet. Thank you for sharing
The longest self drive I have ever made was PEI to Niagara Falls, lifetime experience. Canada is so blessed with the nature lovely country.
Which a lot of Canadians havent even experienced lol. Always leaving Canada on vaca.
I did The Rock, through Halifax, to Toronto, non-stop. My buddy and I were delusional tired arriving home.
Yea, and that’s only a 15ish hour trip... I’ve done Waterloo to Chester in 18 hours nonstop a few times. Don’t do that.
I did Bathurst NB, to Hamilton On, solo, only stopping for gas. Took around 16-18hrs from what I remember.

Things I learned from this video: west Canada = Best Canada. The scenery from 4:00 to the end is incredible
mdo686 west is best. East is yeast
There are fjords on baffin island
But he didn't show the Maritimes or Quebec. That's some of the most scenic part of the country, especially in the Fall.
Newfoundland is better
@mdo686 calgary and van have shorter winters
Thank you for this video!

The road from Toronto to Calgary is pretty dull. Calgary to Vancouver is a great ride.

The drive around Lake Superior is very pretty especially in the fall
@@TheogRahoomie winter time too
Calgary is the gate to the wonderland

After a day in Edmonton, we drove back to Banff, stayed there for a day, and then headed to Vancouver. We hit Saskatoon on the way back and since we had been in western Canada for 2 weeks we were technically allowed to stay in Winnipeg as well. So we stayed for a night there and drove back. Honestly, if it weren't for Covid travel restrictions abroad we would have never really thought to do a Canada trip. In hindsight though, it was one of the most beautiful and diverse trips we had ever done. Canada was never really on our bucket list of travel destinations but after doing the journey I cant recommend it enough. We were originally only going to spend a few days in Banff but ended up staying there for 9 days (including that one day we stayed back from Edmonton and one night back from Vancouver) Honestly fell in love with the mountains but Calgary had to much to offer, we were only gonna spend a night there but ended up booking 2 nights instead. Winnipeg was awesome, driving through Ontario alone was absolutely breathtaking. Driving through the Rockies was so special. I could talk for days about our trip but if you ever have the chance, do it. It took us about 3 weeks to go there and back but could have easily been done in less. Was honestly a trip of a lifetime, and the driving wasn't bad at all. We ended up spending about 2k each on the trip but if you bring camping gear or even tents for the night and book campsites, and budget your eating (we did not hold back on food lol) you can probably do it for 1000-1500. The gas wasn't bad at all, food will probably be the most expensive part, apart from accommodations. We stayed at fairly nice places but the prices were pretty cheap because of Covid so we got good deals. We even stayed at a Fairmont in Winnipeg for $80. If there was ever a time to do it, id say do it now. Especially in Banff, many of the experiences were outdoors so Covid didn't really affect them. Canada is so damn beautiful and made me love the country so much more than I already do. If you have any questions I'm more than happy to answer!
Thanks for sharing! Sounds like you had an amazing time!
hi, just curious if you booked ahead for hotel or you just walk in?
@@delbhudzsantos We just booked the day before or the morning of. Didnt really wanna risk not getting a room or worse paying a lot more by walking in. We booked using an app called Hopper. I really liked their platform and booking was easy and support was pretty good if we needed it (Ive used them for other trips as well) I think once or twice we booked through other websites like booking.com. We didnt really wanna book ahead of the whole trip just cuz driving we never really knew if we were gunna make it to a certain city by a certain date or like in Calgary we got there and only booked for a night but we wanted to explore the city a bit more when we got there and booked an extra day. If we had already booked our place in Banff we wouldnt have been able to do an extra day in Calgary. We didnt really see any difference in prices booking a few days or a week in advance vs. booking the day before or morning of but even if there was a bit of a price increase, I prefered the flexibility.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
@@Amm17ar thank you ! I'm planning a road trip next summer
@@delbhudzsantos Goodluck! Itll be an amazing drive!
When you move across such a vast distance, you feel in the depth of your being the vastness of Canada.
awesome drive . was a young boy in 77 when my family migrated west from toronto. never went back. been a BC boy ever since. thanks for the trip back in time.
If anyone has more time to travel, please make sure visit northern Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Limestone beds, small falls, lakes and trees. It is beautiful.
There are beautiful places in every province and territory.
Yeah, Hwy 1 was made that way so that the nice stuff in MB & SK would remain unknowned to those who are not ready to do a few more steps to see our gems. In a way, same thing in AB... Lots of Ppl ignore Waterton Lakes National Park even though it's absolutly amazing (Make sure U cross the boder at Chief Mountain Port of Entry and do the famous "Road to the sun" in MT and come back by the Roosville port of entry in eastern BC then close the loop by going back to AB using Hwy 3 Crowsnest Pass and see the "Frankslide")
I was going to study in Canada this summer from Japan, but I can’t make it so I’m enjoying my short trip‼︎
Took me 12 weeks when I thumbed it 20 years ago. Time of my life. I was in no hurry and really took my time to hang out in many cities and towns. Thanks for the video, it brought back many memories.🇨🇦
Glad it brought back memories for ya ☺️
❤ thank you for giving us a look at how truly beautiful our country is 👍🏾
I have been across Canada 10 times and we now take the Red Coat Trail, if heading west , when you get to Winnipeg you take Hwy 2
south west of Winnipeg and then drive 2 to Sask then 13 thru Sask to Shawnavan then if adventurous over to Eastend then into Alberta
on Hwy 502 which is gravel to near Manyberries then several roads will take you the Lethbridge then take the Crows Nest Hwy to BC and
the southern route thru the Kootenays and Okanagan via hwy 3 the Vancouver, less traffic just as spectactular scenery.
Yes. Not many been to Manyberries Alberta. Great big deer country. Feels like you are on the moon winter time. Then big rocks southern side border.
Just plotted a route to go east, did not know about until red rout, until I just read your comment, my route follows to the t, as I wanted to keep off hwy one,
@@shrory two of our favourite plates to stay
on the way are Foremost Alberta nice camp ground with power $22 per night
and Cadillac Sask no services camping
by donation at the post office if open.
most of the small towns have camp grounds.Don't stay at Weyburn not good camp ground. by gas at the COOP stations usually cheapest.
I wish I lived in Canada because this scenery is absolutely beautiful. The UK is nothing compared to this
It's only this beautiful in the rockies in Alberta and Brititish Columbia. ( my personnal point of view)
Scotland and Ireland are amazing. England... meh. Nice coastline, but not much else.
You have to keep in mind just how huge Canada is. In the UK, within a few hours you can be in any number of different countries. In Canada, you can drive sometimes for days until the scenery changes appreciably. Like anywhere, if you don't take the opportunity to experience it, you only know what you live.
@@frederiquelavigne5649 LOl you have never been to Lake of the Woods my friend or Cape breton island or Muskoka in Ontario.
@@mushroomsteve Great Britain actually comprises of Scotland, England and Wales.
The roads are amazing and the views OMG , driver will not get bored.
great upload ,brings good memories back to me driving in Canada in 2013 , beautiful
Wow! It's so beautiful, I am dreaming to go cross Canada 🇨🇦♥ one day with my family,
this is something i’ve always wanted to do. take a road trip across Canada and see everything that Canada has to offer.
Well the highway only covers the bottom half of each province you gotta take other highways north to experience everything each province has to offer
As a Canadian, I can say that Canadian road trips are amazing. Thank you for posting this
I got to drive this route and back through the States. Definitely one of my favourite memories. Beautiful countries and beautiful small town people.
This is a road drip everyone has to make at least once. I went back in 2015, in grade 11. I am think of doing it again, but this time I wanna take my RX8, enjoy the Rockies with the beautiful sound of a rotary.
The views look absolutely stunning ..... I have to try this !!!
😀
I have done this drive!! Such a beautiful road trip! You must as a Canadian, do this road trip from Vancouver to Newfoundland!! That is my bucket list to drive all the way out Eaat to our Maritimes!!♡
Nice 7minutes journey from Toronto to Vancouver. Beautiful scenery along the way. Thanks for sharing.
I'm so proud to be Canadian right now...
i feel like people that live in Calgary and Vancouver are blessed with views.
Vancouver yea but Calgary, the only people who can see the mountains are in the upper North of the city or west of the city and even then very tiny in the distance. Other than that flat and hills and -30weather
well Torontonians and gtha is only an hour train ride from niagra
I live in Calgary and we have cars and trucks. 30 minutes I see stuff most people never will. The only place where you share your catch at the lake with a family of black bears none negotiable. And fish and wildlife helicopter. It was an interesting night. No sleep just screamers shot from a helicopter.
Yeah... that’s just a Vancouver thing. Alberta technically has a lot of beauty in the mountains but it’s all up in the sparsely populated area that’s on the border with BC.
@@maxwell_abe2894 the south has too many hills to see the mountains but from downtown and all of the north mountains are easy to see. And the winter is the most mild in canada besides Vancouver. So idk what you are smoking LOL
This video just made me change a lot of my life goals and bucket list items, ah it's so beautiful!
I have done this road trip from Toronto to Regina many times, loved it
What a beautiful video. I feel so lucky to live in Canada 🇨🇦🥰
Wow, how beautiful! 😍👍 Very beautiful country! Amazingly beautiful nature!
It really is! 🙂
Drove same exact route in 2012. This brought back some memories. Thank you for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! Great travel video. Holy crap, those mountains from Banff to BC are actually breathtakingly beautiful. I have only traveled to Ontario, but this video sure demonstrates why the Trans-Canada highway is so famous. This just gives me another reason to love Canada. "The list is getting really, really long". 👽✌️🇨🇦
If and when I ever have the ability to retire I’ll
definitely give this a try! Not much to see in some places but in others! 😃
Made the same trip in January: London to Vancouver. Lots of snow and ice. So beautiful!!
Nice!
The fuq howd you drive from all the way in europe
@@wadoogazoono154 city in Ontario its abt an hour from where I live
Help Me I'm Falling London is a city in Ontario... you do realize there can be multiple cities with the same name?
@@wadoogazoono154 ☺👍
Did this trip twice the whole drive. Stunning views from east to west, vice versa. Love it!
What a beauty to behold, I would love to do a road trip like this.
Definitely the best part of the trip is from Calgary to Vancouver.
Toronto to Halifax or even better St. John's is excellent too.
Every part of the country has something worthwhile to enjoy. The prairie sky is my favourite.
@@djensen1389 Get on an isolated gravel road on the prairies in the middle of summer, stop your car somewhere where you can't see any buildings or traffic, turn off the engine and get out. The size of the prairies - on par with mountains and ocean if you see it for what it is. It's not just nothing, it's huge. Makes you feel small.
That’s a 12hr drive I’ve done many times and love. So much so that I’ve actually flown to Calgary and rented a vehicle to make that trip (and done the reverse from Vancouver as well) on several occasions...
@@MikeOxlong- I have done it twice and it is an amazing road trip.
Love this country for sure ❤️🇨🇦
I hitchhiked from Toronto to Vancouver in June of 1969. I was in awe from start to finish. This is a great video! The whole country is incredibly beautiful. Those who find the prairies boring aren’t paying attention.
Cheers mate! This is the best comment - agreed!
I live in Ontario currently but did live in Golden, BC 20 years ago. Was amazing to see this journey again. Thank you!
I did this a few months ago and I loved it so much
My husband and I departed from New Brunswick! It was amazing!!
Amazing ♥️ enjoyed the views
I recently moved from Canada to the UK and OMG this video makes me want to move back. Canada is such a beautiful country
I love my country so much. God bless Canada.
Yep, it sure is beatiful. It's my dream to one day live either in Canada or in the US(North America for sure)
I’m so glad to have such an amazing person in my city Regina Saskatchewan 🥺💓
WoW !! Quelle vidéo! Elle m’a rappelé mon road trip Québec - Vancouver - Seattle !! Plein de frissons!! Je me prépare pour un retour l’année prochaine et ça me donne encore plus envie d’y être de nouveau !! Merci !!
I can proudly say I’ve done this exact road trip back in 2019 and I still remember most of the sceneries in this video! Tho I did go from Saskatoon to Edmonton first before going to Calgary then Banff. On the last day of the trip I was so excited about getting home I left Banff at 3 am and drove all night thru the mountains and got home at 11 am!
Canada is soo beautiful !
Canada is damn beautiful man
Thank you. I needed to see this. You just reinforced the reasons why I have to do this. I will be attempting this trip this summer of 2022!
Great!
Lots of things I want to say, but speechless!! very well done!!
Its So Amazing Long Trip !! Thanks for sharing this video!😀 SARKER- From New york. 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
I would love to live there with my family. I love Canada.
You’re more than welcomed 🙏🏻😌
If you have a skill to offer, you may come.
@Andy J well look at what the US has to offer
Amazing journey 😊
The beauty of the landscape, the hardlabour to create this massive infrastructure...thank you🏅
This brings back memories, I drove this route to Edmonton. Loved the drive. While driving it I had planned to go back and make a library of videos to show the beauty of Canada. He beat me to it but i still plan on driving it again.
