Exploring the Rockies | Travelling & Living in our SUV: Episode #4

Good morning, we are at Corrie Lake making coffee. Got here and put the drone up for a little bit. Well we got here first, the first time and realized I had left my phone at the hotel so we had to go back, thankfully not too far, get my phone, come back again and there was still not very many people here which was really nice. It's peaceful and quiet, we're just hanging out, getting some good shots. We didn't film much of anything yesterday. We had two queen size beds to sprawl out in. Diesel took up one pretty much all to himself. What time did we fall asleep? We fell asleep at like 6. I fell asleep at like 6.30. Not that far behind us there's a bunch of elk, I hope they're gone now, but just hanging out in the field up there, about 6 or 7 of them, but yeah it's quite beautiful here. We are enjoying ourselves quite a bit, but yeah we're just relaxing, hanging out, and we'll make our way up to Banff later on today. I don't want to get wet, but we're so ridiculous. Real fog. Thank you. Is this the right way? What? Banff? After setting up camp, we spent the next few days exploring Banff National Park. Banff is truly a spectacular place to visit within Canada, if not the world. We were super grateful to be able to come back and spend some time here again. We met up with our friends Jason and Crystal, who were also in the town of Banff at the same time we were. We had met them last summer on their 20th wedding anniversary in Lake Louise. We kept in touch and decided to meet up again. The kids, they were just small fries. You would think that the bears would attack the elk, wouldn't they? Most women get hangry. It usually solves most issues. We got there. Snacks. After a big hike that day, we decided to head down to Lake Minnewanka, where we'd relax, hang out in the sun, and of course drink some of the glacier water. That's so good. Try this. Smack the bag. Diesel loved it too. You good? Somewhat tired? I can't be comfortable. Just go to bed. After a long day, we decided to have a couple drinks and head back to our campsite as we had an early morning planned the next day. This is the best 50 bucks I've ever spent on this double hammock at Cabela's. We're getting up super early because we want to try and beat the crowd to Moraine. We went last year, but we're here, so we have to do it. Originally, I was thinking maybe we just wouldn't go, but being here, you have to see it. Yeah, it's pretty phenomenal. And we pretty much have nice weather all week, so if we can get up super early and get some nice shots of Moraine Lake, I think we're going to try and wake up for like 4am and just have our ---- ready and just pack up and leave as soon as we wake up. Yeah, then we can catch the sunrise, beat the rush, and I think the drive just to Moraine Lake and Lake Louise will be beautiful too. Yeah, pretty much every direction you look around here is just unreal views. Yeah, it's 4.30 in the morning and we're ready to go. Well, we had plans to go to Moraine this morning, but they weren't kidding on how fast it fills up there. We got there just after 5am. We left our campsite at about 4, quarter after 4, and then yeah, we got here just after 5 and it was already full. So we went to Lake Louise instead. It was beautiful. It was wonderful. I mean, the pictures are a little bit better at Moraine in my opinion, but yeah, we got some really good shots at Lake Louise. It was nice. We just had a coffee there, hung out for a bit. Diesel got to poop and pee, so it was a very relaxing morning. Very nice. On our way back out, we tried going down Moraine again and they told us either keep doing a loop or take the park and ride shuttle. So we're going to go get breakfast and maybe later on we'll get in there, but if not, it is what it is. Just doing some tailgating right now. Say hi, buddy. Hanging out, waiting for the grocery store to open because we have no food right now. I think we have a cucumber and some hummus left. And we're in Dam, so there aren't too many grocery stores. We're driving up the Icefields Parkway today. It's one of the best drives we've done. Probably one of the best drives in Canada that you can do. So once you go up there, you don't really have another store until you get to Jasper, so we either get expensive groceries now or we just starve for the rest of the week. And that's not happening. That's not happening. Because nobody likes a hangry, Alana. Nobody like anyone who's hangry. Ain't nobody like anybody. Ain't nobody like a hangry. Okay, let's go. Is it open? Yeah, let's go. Okay. Alright, Diesel. Hold down the fort. He's just going to town on his paws. Alright, dude. Hold down the fort. Bye. Want you to know, I ain't got much to show. Maybe I'm slow. Don't creep into my snail shell. Until the spring liberates me from my winter hell. I've got candles and candy. I could be your daddy if you only let me creep into your... It's that beetle again. My name's Jim. I don't know where I'm going. Help. We're just in front of Two Sisters. Three Sisters? Two... Three Sisters. Four? Crop that out. Four or five. The nicest. You're literally stopping every couple minutes. Sorry for putting my hand in your face.
