Did this same hike in 1990. One of the creek crossings the water was close to chest high, had to cross then recross, get my dog, and carry her across. On the way back walked downstream some where the creek braided and it was much easier. It's mentioned below but there used to be a bridge over Canada creek on your way up to see the glacier. I guess it got washed out. The Slims River was much different then, from what I have read the flow of the river has changed due to the Glacier receeding. Saw a momma grizzly and her two cubs near the campground. Just found your channel, great video.
Nina is such a smart dog. My favorite part is how she attentively watches and gauges the situation (0:43) before determining the best way to cross the creek.
When it transitions to @8:20 wow that steep angle! I'm glad you found a travel companion for this hike because I have a hard time convincing my friends to do these types of things :D
Again, absolutely STUNNING scenery! Are you originally from BC? I'm American but lived in Southern Alberta for 8 years and East Kootenays for 2. I miss the West sooooo much!
This is my home. The slims river trail is pronounced "uh-eye choo". Thank you for this beautiful video, hope you visit us again soon (when it is safe to do so)!!
Another thing to note is that the "glacier" you are looking at is actually TWO separate glaciers!! The one that veers off to the left is called the South Arm Glacier!! :)
Awesome hike! Thanks for sharing. Brings back memories! Kluane is amazing place, I did the Donjek glacier route 9 years ago. Those creek crossings are something else!
If you ever go to Iceland (🇮🇸) it’s amazing there (I’m there right now) you can climb the highest peak there (havandalsnukur, 2119 meters high) nice video!😍❤️
Its incredible how small this channel is but how high quality the videos are. I have so many question for you! What is the tallest mountain you’ve climbed? What type of dog do you have? Any recommended hikes you have for the Banff -lake Louise area? Thanks!
lifeofluke Thank you very much will try! I find it very funny because you’ve pretty much have a video of each place I’ve hiked with my family. Just curious, Where are you from in Canada? And what software do you use to edit your video? When this Pandemic is over, you should try travelling to Colorado and climb Pikes peak. It’s quite the accomplishment! Try aswell doing Skoki in Lake Louise, it’s a must, especially packer’s pass on the trail!!!!!
Your companion made a mistake crossing that second creek. She should not have buckled up her backpack, leaving it loose allows you to escape from it if you were knocked off your feet and were being carried downstream. Great video.
Fyi, those goats are Dall Sheeps, they're protected and pretty rare. But that area of Kluane park (Sheep Mountain and surroundings) is the place to see them.
I can see how similar Dall sheep and mountain goats are, and how easy it would be to confuse them, but these are definitely goats. They have taller shoulders, their horns are black, shorter and only slightly curved, as opposed to lighter brown horns that fully curve in a circular direction towards the front of the Dall sheep. The goats here also have a shaggy beard which hangs down from their chin.
lifeofluke damn that’s truly inspiring man keep up the amazing videos really appreciate you putting so much time& work to bring us along for the adventure safe travels brother!
