Alberta and BC Driving Videos

I did a similar thread in the Atlantic section from my last two trips there, but I live out here still, so I figured I'd start sharing what I've edited from driving out here.

I'll start with the two videos I've already uploaded, and will try to get a new one posted once every two weeks or so.

This thread is open to anybody to post any videos they've done driving around these two provinces.

Nanton to Waterton (Hwy 22 for better scenery)
Video Link


Pincher Creek to Calgary (Hwy 2)
Video Link


The next three will probably be from our trip last month to the Radium Hot Springs/Invermere area.

Good to see Pincher hasn't changed all that much since I lived there in the 90's...

Spur Valley, BC (NW of Radium Hot Springs) to Invermere, BC - with a fair bit of driving around Invermere itself.

Drove up Highway 88 from Slave lake to Ft Vermillion. What a great stretch of road from Red Earth Creek north. Pavement is smooth and the trees cleared far enough back to see the wild life before you hit it. Did not get a video and it was raining but it is a nice relaxing drive. Remarkably busy. I guess its the easier rout down to Edmonton from Highlevel and Yellowknife.

I haven't been north of Edmonton yet, but I do have quite a few videos from the southern half of Alberta. A lot still need to be pulled off my old computer and compiled/edited, but I'll probably be working on those when things slow down in the winter.

Hopefully we do get some videos from others on this thread.
