The nature 🙌😇🧗♂️🏔🌲🐾 like a old movie never stop watching and wondering 💭 how stunning the world 🌎 with incredible creation of beauty 🔥🤪🔥

It really pays to be prepared. I actually prefer to be over prepared that way I can limit my chances of having a bad experience. If you are uncomfortable or stressed out you’re not going to enjoy yourself. You will need a vacation after your vacation. Thanks for the video. What a beautiful area!
-
Great advice guys! I couldn't agree more.
-
Thank you for your good information knowledge.Full watching because really useful. Thank you

I love the way you guys differentiate between couples vs families. I, myself, travel as a couple, but many people do not. They have kids, and you make the nuances of this known in your videos. This is a great benefit, on top of all the information you provide for all travelers. I have always wanted to go to Banff. You were instrumental in my trips to Yellowstone years ago. I am lurking, taking notes, and planning, in case I actually am able to make a trip to Banff. Also watching your Grand Canyon, Arches, Colorado, Zion, Monument Valley,….😂🤣😂🤣 Just LOVE, love, love your videos and both you guys! Thanks for all you do to help us vacationers. I can’t recommend We’re in the Rockies enough to travelers. 🫎

Beautiful video. We visited Banff in the summer of 2023. We did not have enough time to visit all locations. I think we need to do another one. Thank you for sharing.
-
We're leaving in a few days and I know all we've learned from your videos and guides we are going to have a wonderful time!
-
Thank you for the wonderful video. So informative and crisp! Would we need to buy park passes separate from campsite booking? We have both Redstreak campgound and two Jack main campground sites booked.
-
Hi..very nice video. . Will be visiting banff in june.can you please suggest tour company in banff.
-
Hi how long did it take for the discovery pass to ship to you in the US? Also, does the annual membership start on date of purchase? Or it starts from the first day you use at the Banff national park? Thank you for the informative video!
-
is it possible to get the park pass the day before or are they only good for that day? disregard my question… after researching this you can buy day passes online and print them yourself in advance; only the Discovery Pass is mailed to you.
-
Can I purchase the Discovery Pass online? Scheduled to travel in three days. Don't think I have time to ship.
