Is that truck and trailer combined? It's interesting listening to the Aussie guys and their GVM concerns. 2025 LC has a 6,725 GVWR so you'd be way over if any of us here in the States cared about that.

Lake McDonald, glacier national park.

A favorite place to Suz and me. The colored rocks in the water are beautiful.

I find the google results related to GVWR to be rather confusing. I think the GCWR accounts for both the weight of the truck and the trailer while the GVWR should only include the trailer tongue weight.

Nice pic in Glacier!

Camped in the “Rising Sun” campground tonight.

Truck and trailer combined. If that was only the truck there is no way in hell I'd post that publicly. edited the previous post to make it clear.

Bridger’s first night in his new RTT. He had it set up before Marianne and I had ours.

 

[Romer]

Looks like a fun trip. Thanks for sharing your adventure!

 

[Corbet]

Border crossing was easy. Passports and a couple questions and off we went.

 

[Corbet]

Waterton Lakes Park

 

[Corbet]

Banff Provincial Park for two nights.

Looks like an awesome trip so far Corbet. Did you have to reserve all your camps way in advance, or are you finding them as you go?

Do a mini review of that RTT on the 250. I like the hardshell and size of that and have been looking at upgrading mine.

Safe travels!

We reserved some and winging it on others. Mainly national parks we reserved. But lucked out in glacier as that was a last minute plan as we were able to leave a day early.

Posted to Instagram today. Bridger is struggling to get his GoPro to download to the cloud to edit. Hoping to handle that in the coming days.

Is that Lake Louise?

Is that Lake Louise?

Yes. We hiked up the Lake Agnes Tea House.

So beautiful in Lake Louise, spent a week back packing behind Lake Louise ski area in July 77' so much snow still up then. That whole area up there is so spectacular.

Yes. We hiked up the Lake Agnes Tea House.

I thought so. I loved that tea house hike.
