Storms & Grizzly Bears in Jasper National Park - Great Divide Trail ep3

Spanning 1,200km (or 750mi) across the Canadian Rocky Mountains, the Great Divide Trail is one of the most premier long distance hiking trails in the entire world. Following the divide very closely between Alberta and British Columbia, along the mountain range crest. They call this hike the wildest thru hike for a reason, it's extremely remote, and the conditions are truly challenging given the high elevation and extreme landscape. Similar to how the Continental Divide Trail was 10 or so years ago, the GDT is a collection of existing trails, strung together with cross country and off trail sections to make one long footpath. My top gear picks for the GDT: - Patagonia Rain Jacket - https://bit.ly/3ua4k7H - Ursack Major XL Food Bag - https://amzn.to/47nbfIM - Mosquito Head Net - https://amzn.to/46bpiAv - Satellite Communicator - https://amzn.to/3SFnxbt Our Full Gear Lists for the GDT: http://www.jupiterhikes.com/gear/ My guide on how to hike the GDT (pictures, stats, gear, and info!) https://jupiterhikes.com/2023/11/15/h...

The Great Divide Trail at a glance: - 1,200km (750mi) in length, depending on end point - Grizzly and moose country the entire way - 5 National Parks (Banff, Jasper, Kootenay, Waterton, and Yoho) - 9 Provincial Parks, 4 Wilderness Areas, 4 Forest Districts - 2,590m (or 8,500ft) is the high point @ an un-named pass in Section E - 1,055m (or 3,500ft) is the low point @ Old Fort Point outside of Jasper - Peak hiking season is from July to September, - 30 to 60 days is roughly how long this hike takes depending on experience and fitness Overall the GDT is one of the most amazing thru hikes you could ever do. Unparalleled scenery, glaciers around every corner, grizzly bears, moose, pika, marmots, exposed alpine meadows and lakes. Ridge walks on loose scree and talus. Off trail travel, bushwhacking, and adventure. Hiking through popular national parks such as Banff and Jasper. It truly is an incredible beast of a hike. In this video we hike through sections E and F along the Great Divide Trail. Leaving the Sask River Crossing where we last resupplied we headed north towards Jasper. Up and over the high point of this trail on an unnamed pass at 8,500 feet, though not nearly as tall as something like Mt Whitney on the PCT at 14,000 this still felt quite dramatic given the alien landscape surrounding us. This far north in the hemisphere the treeline is much lower in altitude, so getting views far off in the distance even at lower elevations is really cool. A freak storm caused us to take an on trail zero where we were almost struck by lightning while in our tent! Just 40 feet away from our camp, a tree had been struck overnight, exploding and scattering debris all over. Come morning we found that it had also been snowing a lot at higher elevations, making for a very cold hike to start the day. Visibility was low in the snowy sections, and as I stopped to say something to my partner I just happened to SPOOK A GRIZZLY that neither of us had noticed nearby. Again no more than 40 feet away from us was this grizzly bear, which was now startled, and running away from us fortunately. For the next couple miles we saw massive bear prints in the snow along the trail. The weather didn't stick around, and we hiked into Jasper National Park where we would see two moose, a mother and baby in the Maligne Valley. A short stop at the Maligne Lake Cafe for some food before beginning the world famous Skyline Trail in Jasper which would take us up and over the mountains, and into town. A very popular hike most take three days to do, while some runners do it in a single day. In the town of Jasper I got new shoes (altra lone peak 7) and we prepared for the final two sections of our hike. An extremely remote and difficult stretch, more so than any other. Dangerous river fords, off trail travel, a lot of navigating via gps, Bushwhacking, and no easy way out. Section F and section G are for sure rough. Section F finishes at Mt Robson Provincial Park, the highest point in the Canadian Rockies at 3,954m or 13,000ft. Since we are continuing on, we didn't get the chance to hike any of the Berg Lake Trail, but have heard it's spectacular. Into Section G where things really get difficult. More of everything that made F hard, and some extra fun stuff thrown in as well! Hiking Essentials Shirt! http://jupiterhikes.com/product/hikin...
