We arrived back in Vancouver on Friday afternoon. The "Capilano River RV Park" is not nearly as beautiful and cozy as the beautiful places we have seen, but it is close to the...

The campgrounds run by BC Parks are usually rather simple in terms of facilities, but are always located in the most beautiful corners of British Columbia: on lakes, rivers, in...

Today we went to Squamish, an interesting place on Howe Sound. It's not far to YVR, but we still have a few days that we'll make the most of. Especially since the weather is...

Continue south towards Sea to Sky Hwy (Route 99). Partly 11% incline or in our case downhill. Jens drives... First stop Pemberton, a nice ski town in the middle of high...

1) Horsting's You can tell it's coming fall.

... took us over unrestricted tracks, as is often the case (but no train was coming). And we had a very nice chat with a lady on horseback. "Green Lake" is the name of this...

...was the highlight of the otherwise long and monotonous drive from Nimpo Lake to Williams Lake. Half-height trees and endless pastures that are now yellow with lots of cattle,...

Oh, how exciting it was - yesterday evening another grizzly came to the river at RipRap Campground. And this morning as we were driving east, another one ran along the road in...

...lives up to its name because you discover something new here every day. One day the grizzly mom is fishing right at the campground (on the other side of the river), the next...

The Wild West is here! Arrived at the RipRap RV Park, Hagensborg - probably an old farm converted to a campground - we could watch a bear mama with mini bears at the river! ...

Overnight at Bear Cove Ferry Terminal, instead first vehicle on the 'Northern Wulf'. I'm a bit sad to leave Vancouver Island because it's sooo beautiful here. But there are...

8 degrees in the morning and 20 degrees in the afternoon. With onion look we know our northern lights. As soon as we arrived in Port Hardy, they were all there, as if they had...

Jens is a good driver who doesn't complain much. But on Vancouver Island, 25% of the Hwys are bumps and they make our camper battleship sway like on the high seas. The vehicle...

We've already been to some very beautiful places on Vancouver Island, but Alder Bay tops it all. After a 250 km drive (with stops, but it's a long drive) we arrived at a small...

Take the Oceanside Route along 19 A North. Not so far so that we can still enjoy the now beautiful sunny day at a pleasant 22 degrees. We land in Cape Lazo at a campground on...

And back again via the Pacific Rim National Park with the destination.... A whole forest to ourselves...well, almost anyway. The campground offers large pitches between tall...

So far we haven't figured out how to pronounce ucluelet correctly. But that locals say 'Ukee'. Fits! Here you can hike endlessly along the coast and through moors and...

Morning departure - thick clouds. However, the sun and clouds change here in a flash. The Hyw4 is really adventurous, especially when you're traveling with such a rocking...

Get your motorhome, just in time for the 10:15 ferry in Tsawwassen (that's how it's spelled) and 2 hours later in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. The first stage takes us across...

We get on the plane on time and then - nothing. Instead of starting at 6:00 a.m. due to technical problems (gate, not plane), we were only able to take off a whopping 2 hours...

... (it feels like) it starts, ✈️ 6:00 a.m. Since flight operations start at 6:00 a.m., there is already a lot going on at the airport at this eerily early hour. Security went...

Today we're heading home. Good thing, because you can't see anything here anymore. Forest fires in the north are causing a thick smoke cloud. Visibility is at 50-75m, after that...

Today we are heading downtown by bus and train. When you still have the mountains in sight, it's a bit too much city at once. And that, even though Calgary is quite attractive....

And off we go again heading east to Calgary. We left today (Wed) to have an extra day in Calgary. The Rockies quickly fade away in all their beauty 😪 and we drive through...

Starting from the Campground (at 1451m), the Hoodoo Trail runs for about 6km down to Banff. However, it's a bit frustrating when 2 people misread the map and end up following...

This is a place where you can spend a few days. Especially when the weather is sooooo great! Night frost and 20 degrees in the afternoon. Bluest sky, really amazing. In the...

This was probably the most scenic 55km short driving route of 1500 meters in altitude on the Bow Valley Parkway.

Lake Louise Village is a beautiful ski and hiking village at an elevation of 1600m. We arrived in the rain, but today it's sunny. So put on your boots and take the shuttle up to...
