Hiking Sunshine Meadows (Banff, Alberta, Canada) | Landmark Adventures
On August 1, 2023, I hiked in the Sunshine Meadows area of Banff National Park (in Alberta) and Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park (in British Columbia). The 7-mile route took me from the summit of Mount Standish on the Continental Divide, around Grizzly and Larix Lakes, past Rock Isle Lake--the highest elevation lake in Canada--and then through Sunshine Meadows to the Monarch Viewpoint via the Twin Cairns-Meadow Park trail. This was one of the most breathtakingly dramatic hikes I've ever done. Don't miss it if you're in the Banff area!
The hike begins at the top of Mount Standish. To get there, you'll need a ticket for the Sunshine Gondola. The cost is CA$65, and includes use of the Standi...

How does a train “turn around”?
I don’t remember exactly how this one did it, but here’s how it’s done in general: www.traingeek.ca/wp/faq/how-do-trains-turn-around/
@@landmark_adventures Thanks for reply! I watched another video and the train had an engine on each end facing opposite directions. Good job on video. Enjoyed it.
We were just there a couple weeks ago. Very sad that it looks nothing like this any more. We were not even allowed up to the glacier any more. The ice cave actually collapse two days before we got there :(
Wow, that is so sad. :(
I just booked a ticket on that train but they told me I could NOT bring my own booze on it. Now I don't even know if I want to take the trip.....
Absolutely loved this video of your excursion - so well done and just incredible footage. I am definitely doing this one on my trip this summer, you sold me!
Was this a TT or did you have a MH? If it was a MH did you have a toad?
It's a fifth wheel, as noted in the comments (and also apparent if you watch the video ;).
Made this trip on the school bus, incredible!!!
I am so excited to be going back to Denali after 25 years with my teen daughter. So overwhelmingly, overstunningly, amazingly beautiful. Nice Video.
Found you by searching up the labyrinth💜subbed
I am jealous. Can't wait to go full-time! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it! Good luck on your journey!
:-)
Did you book this excursion with a cruise ship, or did you just pay and go?
No, we booked it directly with the tour provider. We were there in our RV, not on a cruise, though. If you’re going on a cruise, I’d suggest comparing prices of booking directly vs. through the cruise line. If the difference isn’t too great, booking through the cruise line ensures that the ship doesn’t leave without you if the tour is delayed for any reason.
@@landmark_adventures Ok. Thanks for the response
That looked like a nice hike! Thanks for sharing
Looks like a unique and exciting experience!
Lucky day, to see a Wolf! I hope you enjoyed Ranger Doris' talk at Wonder Lake.
Fun! Might have to try it!
Very cool
Nice gp40
enjoyed your video and suggestions! lovely scenery, was a long day, but the pizza at the end sound like a good way to end the day!
Indeed it was! Glad you liked the video!
