Went for a road trip a couple days ago to the Columbia Icefields near Jasper . 3 hour drive but incredible scenery . I didn't go on the tour , I hiked up the glacier but I was more interested in checking out some of the trails I had seen in the area . Plus I wanted to find a camping spot far away from everything . Found a great spot by the river and probably 10 miles from the highway (took me an hour to get there from highway ) .
Had a peaceful evening , but freakin cold at night , BRRRR . when I fired up the Titan in the A.M the temp. said 2*c (35*f) . Frosty coconuts !
Hit a few trails , then headed home . Good Times .
looked on map , Elevation of Mt. Columbia is 3747 m ( 12 293.3 ft ) . Truck ran great and climbed the steep grades like nothin' .

Oooh too cold for me to be camping out. LOL
I dont think I could handle that anymore. Great pictures man thats some beautiful country there.

Awesome! That first picture needs to be you sig pic!
I really like your choice of wheels and color of your truck! I think I might copy cat you!

Awesome pics! I agree with ShiftyB, the first pic should be in your sig.

Ask and you shall receive . LOL :)

Bet nobody has seen a lifted Vette .

awsome pics you got there

I can't believe that the 'vette lookalike is taller than the escape----Great pics though !!

Oooo looks like fun! I love cold places! Great pics. :)

Anyone more pics of that Bus?

That looks Heavenly. Is that the bed-tent you have or just a regular one stuck in there? I assume you have an air mattress. I wanted to get one of those Tian-specific bed tents... that's why I ask.

Awesome!!!

Thanks for those pictures!

Thanx guys,
The tent is normal , just fits nice . I think a bed tent would be better though , more room and if it rains lots the bed of the truck won't fill up w/ h2o . W/ my rack though I can throw a tarp over the whole tent :)
I have a couple more pics of the bus . I got pics of the display signs too , hope you can read them .

I didn't see you mention the trip onto the glacier in the bus. Did you take that trip?

I did it in '89 and it was a treat.

Ralph

No , I didn't take the bus , I hiked up the path . Good workout , especially at that altitude/elevation LoL
Ralph , in '89 was the icecap bigger ? Last time I was there I was 8 yrs old and I have no retention . LMAO
What was I talking about ?

Spody, I can't answer your question. I've not been back since '89 so I can't tell you if it was bigger then or now. Sorry.

Ralph

Cool pictures, nice scenery. Even looks cold in the pictures.

Update : Friday sept .15 . After heavy rain for the last 2 days , We had a huge dump of snow last night (10-12 inches) . I had to go out for a drive , left my house at 12:30 am and got back at 3:30 am . It was great , blizzard conditions , practically a white out.
The Titan is the most amazing truck I have ever owned , I was on paved roads for half the time (6 inches of slushy stuff) . Had it in 4 high and could go as fast as I wanted , very stable and predictable .
The other half of the time I was on logging roads and oil lease right-of-way's (dirt roads) . The combination of mud and snow was a perfect test for the drivetrain , not to mention very rough roads w/ huge puddles .
The only problem I had was the heavy wet snow sticking to the front . The headlights would get covered from the slush getting splashed everywhere . I was'nt taking it easy on her either .
Any way , I am going to go out again today , I hear the higher elevations got tons of snow ;) . I will post pics tonight .
Happy Trails

Dude, those pics are sooooo photoshopped. :-p

Just kidding. That is an awesome way to go camping. Find some backroads and go to a desolate area where you can be alone and enjoy the scenery. Those are some really nice pictures. Must have been great out there.

Now THAT is beautiful scenary!!!!

Man your getting too me all that snow and your vivid description of the outing - gotta see the pics Spody***** later
