I live in Bella Coola... It doesn't matter which hike you take here (there are many) the views will make you weak in the knees.

We have really enjoyed watching your adventures this past summer. Thanks for sharing and great job vloging.

Thank you for showing those beautiful stone crops succulents

Exceptional video reminds me of the days before the dodgy hat and shades. thanks very much for taking me along vicariously.

Iv only been to Bella Colla once . It was early spring of this year . All I could think is I can't wait to come back the closer it came to an end . Beautiful Country Beautiful video. Thanks

Unbelievably beautiful! I would love to do this hike. You're the only channel that I use the notifications for so I know when another awesome adventure has dropped! Thanks for sharing.

you're best yet!

Thanks Luke one of your best vids yet stunning scenes! Hiking with a cold sucks😅

So nice trip!

Another excellent adventure!

Truly gorgeous!

Love the content. Keep it coming.

Thank you for this Luke! You have outdone yourself with those spectacular views.

awesome bro!

Thank you for the video it brought back so many wonderful memories! I used to live in Bella Coola, I miss it terribly. So many fantastic hikes there. I was recently looking at my old photos of the area and the many hikes, Ape Lake included.

We are just looking for ideas for next summer and this might be the hike, great video and the drone footage you got was incredible. Really enjoyed your video, I have subbed cheers

Beautiful man, top vid!

I've been looking for a video hike with this type of scenery in the Coast Mountains. This is one of the most beautiful hikes I've ever seen. Right up there with Peru's Huayhuash and that is saying a lot. Huge mountains.

Amazing views and pure mountain beauty ! Some of it was quite a trek through rugged terrain for sure , you all looked to have done well ! Not fun in wet boots I know how that feels !

My word your footage and films just get better and better every one, I actually love what you do so much man, can't thank you enough. I've scanned many many times over these maps in satellite with more questions then answers on what it might be like out there. You always paint the best picture! Your ability to nail the epic drone focus shots of the trips. Like that glacier is so beautiful, those peaks look like no where I've saw yet and I've lived in BC my whole life. The second focus on the glacier has an eerie feeling of sadness with how rapidly these places are changing, which again just makes me so grateful for you to bring us along ❤️

I really like the balance you had here too in your shots of friends hiking, vloggin, straight landscape shots, and aerials. Nicely mixed up 🤙🏽

Awesome video !!! If your around there still check for matsutake mushrooms! They be popping!

bella coola is something else. ape lake is named after thay saw bigfoot there

Beautiful! Not a lot of trail go follow! Did you have GPS to navigate?

Hey Luke are you able to share your trip plan ? My dad and I want to make a trip out to Bella Coola and tackle this wonderful journey! Would be nice if you could point us in the right directions!

Hey thanks for the question, what do you mean by trip plan? I don't have any plan written down.

"forcing oatmeal down" if that doesn't encompass backcountry hiking in one sentence I don't know what does lol

Fun Fact: This place is where Banner stayed at at the end of The Incredible Hulk.

@@lifeofluke I do know is when I saw the movie the first time, I notice Stark Industries in the blueprints for the Sonic Cannons, SHIELD logo being mentioned, and Tony Stark himself in the final scene.

What is the name of the trail head? I'd love to plan a trip out there. Thank you in advance.

Would you happen to have a track (not sure its really required but might be nice as a reference). We are thinking of doing this summer 2024. Thanks for all your great info and sharing, its appreciated!

Just curious.. obviously bear spray is a must have but wondering if carrying a rifle for added protection is recommended, another must have and if that is even legal? Bear/ cougar encounters really scare me enough to never venture to places i would love to see… great video, absolutley beautiful… 😀

@lifeofluke

Bear spray would suffice, although I know there are some that like to have the extra protection of a rifle -- only as a last resort because shooting grizzly bears is illegal in BC. There are also many good practices that avoid having any issues with bears, like keeping all food scents away from your tent and in scent proof bags.
