    Best Rockies video I’ve ever seen, so informative, thanks for sharing!!
  • We've been here plenty of times, and have enjoyed it each time. Though, the big crowds now gets too much. Jasper soon to be as busy. as Banff. Thanks for sharing your experience.

    Amazing! So informative…thanks
  • @MajaRosati-wi5ox
    This video is great, lots of beautiful things to see! The only thing is you guys really missed out on Johnston Canyon, it's really cool! Definitely not a tourist trap
  • Thank you so much for all the wonderful info! For your canoe rental to spirit did the motor breakdown on the way back which is why it took so long? My husband and I are planning a trip for late August and we are both somewhat experienced paddlers but didn’t know how long you would expect the trip to take each way! Thank you!
  • @vyas365
    incredible video! please could you share which month you all took this trip?
  • @maddymairose1498
    Which all trails' trail did you guys use for the Kananaskis hike?
  • @kadiemarshall
    Can I ask were headed out about the 10th september, can you remember (roughly ) what time the sun rose when you were there? Trying to work out the best shuttle but also not to be there insanely early! Thankyou🙏🏻
  • @ilhamiturgut9349
    I have 4 days. What places would you recommend seeing in Banff and Jasper? Or should I just visit Banff?
  • Please edit the name and pronounciation of the Lake, it is not Louis (like the man), it is Louise, as in female!
  • @cityboyis2
    no wonder Canada sucks, you have to pay through the nose for everything. 21 dollars to park at a lake, plus forced to take a bus to a lake 5 minutes away.
