Vlog Ep.49 – Big Algonquin Canoe Trip – Day 3 – Best Lookout In The Park! (4K) This video is about the 3rd day of our canoe camping trip in Algonquin Park’s interior, starting from our beach campsite on Big Crow Lake, which includes a hike through a forest of tall trees, and then a trek to the mountaintop lookout by the lake, where we enjoyed the most beautiful sunset of our lives, from the best lookout in the entire park! We’ve also been filming select, interesting moments throughout each day of the trip with a 360° 4K VR camera, and today’s are of the sunset from the mountaintop lookout – watch the sun really pop towards the end! Each day’s 360° video clips will be in the vlog’s description (linked here below), and after the trip we’ll post an unabridged version of all the 360° clips for those who would like to enjoy a longer VR experience in the park 🙂

There are several different ways to enjoy the 360° VR video linked below:
1. Select desktop web browsers like Google’s Chrome, or Firefox will allow you to scroll through the 360° VR video by clicking / dragging the image on the screen left, right, up and down, so you can look around in the environment.
2. View the 360° VR video on your smartphone or tablet using YouTube’s Mobile app (a free app on iOS or Android devices), which will allow you to pan and tilt your phone around in 3D space, almost as if it’s a window in front of you that you can look through to see the VR environment around you – the YouTube Mobile app uses your device’s internal gyroscopes to determine where you’re looking… which is really cool!
3. View the 360° VR video through Google’s Cardboard app (a free app on iOS and Android devices), and a relatively inexpensive head-mounted VR viewer, equipped with lenses designed to help you focus on your smartphone’s screen. The app creates a stereoscopic version of the 360° video we filmed, which you can then put into a head-mounted VR viewer, which allows you to look around and almost feel like you’re there inside the VR environment. The app uses your phone’s own internal gyroscopes to determine where you’re looking. Please note, your VR experience with this method depends on your phone’s resolution and the quality of the VR headset you purchase. I personally own a “Merge 360°” VR headset which works with a range of different phones, and sells online at B&H Photo for around $79 CDN / $59 US, though you can find inexpensive VR viewers for as little as $15 – $20 by searching online. There are many to choose from – you generally get what you pay for though, and more expensive models will typically be more comfortable to wear for extended periods, or come equipped with more built-in adjustments for precisely aligning with your eye. Before buying any VR viewer, please ensure it will fit your phone. You may also want to enjoy this method while wearing stereo headphones.
4. View the 360° VR video through an Oculus Rift, or HTC Vive, which are much more expensive VR devices with their own software built-in.
Today’s 360° video clips are moments from the mountaintop lookout on Big Crow Lake of the sunset – watch the sun really pop towards the end! Though before you check it out, please don’t forget to like, share or comment on today’s vlog and let us know what you think! Thanks! It really helps us to create more content and moments like this 🙂 …today’s 360° VR video link: https://youtu.be/z_tLk-qw5cY

P.S. Thanks for watching! 🙂 xx
We reached 10K! A huge thank-you to all of you who subscribed, liked the videos, left kind words of encouragement, and helped us along the way – you guys rock! After the trip, we'll be posting a thank-you / giveaway video, because there are many people to thank and we sincerely appreciate everything you've done 🙂
Lesb girls?
That hike was worth it! Awesome views. I'm from Texas and we don't have access to wild public land like this. I envy your outdoors playground.
My one and only complaint about Algonquin is that unlike every other provincial, national park you can't book campsites or even view them online. It makes it very difficult to plan a trip.
What an inspiring series you have created! You spurred me to return to Algonquin (after a 49 year hiatus) with my Son (now 23) for a 4 day back country canoe trip. It was an amazing experience. Thanks for the inspiration Chris and Julia! Please keep your beautiful videos coming!
These 2 wonderful little girls have captured for us, from 14:40 to 15:10, the face of God.
how am i just seeing this video now! been following you for a while. This is an amazing view, ill have to try to find that spot myself next summer ;p
Chris definitely likes those hiking butt shots…lol
The sunset was amazing! I shared it with a few others who will join me for an Algonquin trip soon. I will have to check out your 360 videos when I can. Thanks for the amazing trip videos and tips for places to go to and camp at. Your map helps me plan my own trips 🙂
Just lovely. Beautiful view
Amazing how well this video encapsulates the relaxing atmosphere of Algonquin!
Just lovely. Beautiful view. For those of you who are unaware, that canoe these women are slinging around so easily weighs 45 lbs os so. They are in excellent condition.
Can do without the music!!!
MOTHER *nature*…. Love you two. So bad-ass and adorable!
Sunset view is skookum as frig!
Just subscribe, all I can say is WOW!

Thank you for sharing that magnificent view at the top of that hike. I was totally in aaahhh. I could just imagine how you felt seeing it
I just started watching your videos last night and i am absolutely amazed at the beauty of all your adventures. The videos are perfect. Even with all the moving the videos are perfect. Keep being happy in nature
Having all that incredible space all to your selves overlooking the lake below only can imagine how that must have felt deep down inside incredible!
Thank You
I hope we get to see more Algonquin park videos this year. Two week trip? Lol
Hi awesome channel ☺ Keep it up!
looks like a blast!!!!!
Fantastic video well done I am really envious cant paddle at the moment bad back.
WOW that was the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen, it was absolutely stunning. I had to go back and watch it a few times just to soak in the beauty of it. I've watched a lot of your videos and your editing is absolutely brilliant, i hope you win some kind of award for that sunset. I love how the both you make the videos so fun and paint such a beautiful picture of The Algonquin. Thanks for sharing your hard work and journey with us all.
I saw the only Mother Nature in this trip . do you know what is it ? I just feeling on air on the sky . the beautiful place far from every war media news internet tv . this is absolutely wonderful . I hope one day I can visit this place
13;51 which means there is no place like this
The view from up on high was most definitely worth the effort. Sunset was truly awesome.
I see who is the man in these videos carrying the canoe! Lol
im in love girl
Great videos are you gals a couple?
Nice
i love you, dear, where have you been all my life girl
What a nice vid! Thanks for sharing.
Hey Chris can you tell me where yall got drinking water at each Point?
That lake is beautiful
Your face said it all! Bacon right out of the pan when camping is like sex! Can I say that? LOL And with Coffee or Hot Chocolate? Now we're talking about Heaven! Put your food up higher like 12 feet and farther away from the camp! Don't keep anything that smells like food near you. Not even dumped grease or dirty dishes. Bears can smell better than blood hounds. Keep rocking!
U should come to the Adirondacks in new york
Serious question
Have you guys ever try being with men?
well done, I love that it shows the rawness of what your doing, Stay Loving, Stay strong and Stay true to the land
I love you guys so much Ahahaha this is what i needed this channel.
