Backpacking the EPIC Long Range Traverse in Gros Morne National Park (Newfoundland) Adventures of A+K 2023-10-08 | 📚 Planning a road trip in Atlantic Canada? Check out our Atlantic Canada eBook: adventuresofaplusk.com/atlantic-canada-ebook For our first adventure in Newfoundland's Gros Morne National Park we tackled one of our bucket list backpacking trips: the Long Range Traverse. This almost 50 km hike gains around 1,700 meters of elevation as it traverses the Long Range Mountains. And it is not for the faint of heart. With zero maintained trail to follow, thick tuckamore, river crossings, and wet, boggy terrain, it’s both a mental and physical challenge. We spent 4 days on the “trail” and along the way experienced fjords, lakes, untouched wilderness, rain storms, and tons of seclusion. It was an incredible adventure that we will never forget!💸 Save some money! Want to have offline map access?

We biked 500 MILES across IOWA! (Our 50th STATE) | RAGBRAI 2023 Adventures of A+K 2023-09-03 | We biked 500 miles across our 50TH STATE of Iowa! When we knew we'd be finishing visiting all 50 US states this year, we couldn't pass up the chance to end with a bang by participating in RAGBRAI, an annual bike ride across the state of Iowa. Over 7 days we rode 500 miles from the Missouri River to the Mississippi River, passing through small towns and larger cities, endless fields of corn, and up and down tons of hills (Iowa is NOT flat).It was hands down the most challenging thing we have ever done, but also the most rewarding, with so many laughs, fun memories, and delicious food along the way.

We went TIDAL BORE RAFTING in Nova Scotia (and it was CRAZY! 😱) Adventures of A+K 2023-08-20 | 📚 Planning a road trip in Atlantic Canada? Check out our Atlantic Canada eBook: adventuresofaplusk.com/atlantic-canada-ebook For our second adventure on the Bay of Fundy, we went tidal bore rafting on the Shubenacadie River in Nova Scotia! When the tide rises and pushes into the Shubenacadie River, it causes a surge of water, called a tidal bore which creates waves perfect for rafting. And it is 100% THRILLING, especially if you go on an “extreme” day like we did…between getting blasted with water and mud sliding, it was one of our favorite experiences of all time!If you’d like to go tidal bore rafting, make sure to check out Fundy Tidal Bore Adventures: tidalboreadventures.ca (we did their 4 hour tour and used their tour schedule to pick an “extreme” day)__________📷 See ALL of our gear: adventuresofaplusk.com/gear 🚐 Our Van Life products: adventuresofaplusk.com/blog/van-conversion-cost-tour-mistakes💻 Follow us on social media!Instagram instagram.com/adventuresofaplusk Facebook: facebook.com/adventuresofaplusk Pinterest: pinterest.com/adventuresofaplusk 🌎 See everywhere we have been + view our blogs and travel guides: adventuresofaplusk.com __________👋🏼 About usHi y’all!

Check out our Atlantic Canada eBook: adventuresofaplusk.com/atlantic-canada-ebook Located between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia lies one of the world’s greatest natural wonders, the Bay of Fundy. This body of water is home to the highest tides in the world, with 160 billion TONS of water flowing in and out of the bay every 6 hours, which is apparently enough to fill the Grand Canyon. 😱To see these crazy tides for ourselves, we spent 18 hours at Hopewell Rocks, a park known for its super cool flowerpot rocks. We experienced the park at low tide by walking on the very muddy ocean floor, which was pretty hilarious. Plus at high tide, both from overlooks and on a kayaking tour. It was absolutely surreal to see areas we were walking on completely covered in water!⌚Timestamps00:00 Introduction00:40 About Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park01:22 Seeing Hopewell Rocks at LOW tide04:55 About the Bay of Fundy06:12 Seeing Hopewell Rocks at HIGH tide07:31 Kayaking Hopewell Rocks📍Locations in this vlogHopewell Rocks Provincial Park: nbparks.ca/en/parks/33/hopewell-rocks-provincial-park Baymount Adventures: baymountadventures.com __________📷 See ALL of our gear: adventuresofaplusk.com/gear 🚐 Our Van Life products: adventuresofaplusk.com/blog/van-conversion-cost-tour-mistakes💻 Follow us on social media!Instagram instagram.com/adventuresofaplusk Facebook: facebook.com/adventuresofaplusk Pinterest: pinterest.com/adventuresofaplusk 🌎 See everywhere we have been + view our blogs and travel guides: adventuresofaplusk.com __________👋🏼 About usHi y’all!
