In today's vlog we commit to a 16 km hike up and down a mountain in Glacier National Park! We woke up early, as you can tell, and headed straight to Glacier from Golden. The drive through the mountains was absolutely beautiful too. Near the entrance of the park, to our surprise, there were ruins from a luxury railway hotel from the early 1900s. Unfortunately it was torn down in the 50s but wow, what an amazing retreat this would have been. We then started our hike, alone, through dense rainforest, clouds, and grizzly bear infested territory. Eventually we made it to the alpine, where the trees stop growing and snow covers the area for most of the year (except the summer). Once we made it to the top, we could see the nearby glaciers peaky out from behind the clouds. It was surreal!

Thanks for watching! 😄

We upload a new adventure 3 times a week while we travel, Monday, Wednesday and Friday at Noon ET!

We met at LaSalle Secondary School in Kingston Ontario and we’ve been together for over 8 years now. Keith comes from a bilingual military family and Devon from a Kingston family of teachers. We made it through Queen’s University together where Keith studied Mechanical Engineering and Devon, Concurrent Education and Global Development. Right now we’re travelling across Canada in a Dodge Caravan for the entire month but come January 2022 we have bigger plans in mind. Our goal is to #travel full time, become #selfemployed, and #explore the world while sharing what we’ve learned and capturing our experiences. 🌎✈️📚
