Small-Town Alberta Surprised Us | RV Life in Crowsnest Pass

RV camping in Crowsnest Pass, Alberta — exploring Chinook Lake, Lundbreck Falls, the Frank Slide, and small-town life in the Canadian Rockies.

During our Canadian Rockies journey, we spent a week in Crowsnest Pass, Alberta... a small mountain town nestled in the foothills that surprised us in the best way. Instead of rushing between Canada’s big national parks, we slowed down and discovered the unexpected perks of small-town RV life.

In this episode, we share what it’s really like camping in Crowsnest Pass, paddleboarding at Chinook Lake and Crowsnest Lake, exploring local food stops, learning the history of the Frank Slide, cooling off at Lundbreck Falls, and finding community through a local open mic night that reminded us why we travel with guitars.

If you enjoy full-time RV living, off-the-beaten-path destinations, and travel that’s more about people than checklists, this one’s for you.

👉 Next time, we wrap up our Canadian adventure at Waterton Lakes.
