I totally did the same thing, it made me laugh, so naturally hubby wanted to see what was so funny… he watched it with me from the beginning (not complaining 😂)
@@liettevandermerwe6962 I actually spit my coffee this morning - I saw an older quick clip - where he quits his job. I was in tears (when he's explaining the name of the channel...)
Another great video! We spent three nights in Banff prior to taking the Rocky Mountaineer train to Vancouver. Your tips match up with what we experienced. We actually booked a shuttle from Calgary airport to our hotel in Banff and used the Roam buses to get around town and it was super easy. Something else about when to visit, we visited in early September. We arrived on a Monday to a blizzard that had hit that morning. We ended up with 3 feet of snow and had to go to town to buy warmer clothing. The day before we arrived it was 80 degrees Fahrenheit! The nice thing is the town has plenty of shops for whatever kind of clothing you need for the weather so don’t worry about a freak blizzard or two. Glad you all had fun on the trip!
My husband said you need your own travel show and I agree!!! Your vlog is incredible and so thorough! Thank you so so much. For the detailed information and humor
Fantastic resource for anyone wanting to visit Banff/Lake Louise. I took a screenshot of the maps and used this as my main source of information on which lakes/attractions to visit during our July, 2023 trip. We would have missed so many great lakes had I not followed your route. Great job Suitcase Monkey. I am Canadian and this was a trip of a lifetime for my family and I. I have you to thank for it because my teenage girls kept saying "was this lake on the Suitcase Monkey list?" And of course I said yes!
Suitcase Monkey back at it again with another gem. Currently on holiday in Japan with some inspiration taken from you. Keep up the great work of showing these amazing locations with such great presentation!
Lots of great tips! I live in Calgary and was surprised that I needed to take a bus to Moraine Lake last year during a family visit. It turned out to be a nice, stress free way to see the area actually, just chilling on the bus and enjoying the views! We found out later that we could have driven as my mother has a handicapped parking pass - but on future visits I'd still probably take the bus.
One of my favourite holiday locations of all time. Your RUclips travel video's are thorough and well presented. Great job -keep up the good work. I agree the glacier experience is a waste of time and money.
Hi from Canmore once again! Another really great, informative AND incredibly accurate video! The only thing that I could add after living in Canmore for many years is that September is typically a much better month weather wise than June. June can be volatile and September, in most years, can be very nice:). Great job Suitcase Monkey!
@@SuitcaseMonkey as I Calgarian, I can tell you this is normal! I skied in -36C this year and many days when it was below - 25C. Layers required. Heated ski boots help and heated gloves.
Robert, I love hiking in September too and we plan at least three long hikes a week, preferably as far away as possible from Lake Louise and Morraine lake ! .
we just spent 10 days in Canada last November (about 6 days in Banff and the area you just discovered). It was great to re-live some of our memories through your video. 🤩
Thank you so much for this helpful video! We are heading to Canada in 4 weeks time, travelling from Vancouver to Calgary over 3 weeks, and have found some great tips and ideas from both of your videos. Especially grateful for the heads up on the access to lake Louise via the shuttle bus!
Are you in the area visiting Lake Louise now? How is it? I will be heading there in a couple weeks and want to make sure I know how to get around and everything haha
Fantastic video with so many great tips! Yes I backed up on your list and read every word of it. Did the same thing with the driving tips page. 😅 I will be visiting Banff and Jasper next week for 16 days and I’ll be in Jasper to enjoy their dark sky festival. I have liked and subscribed . Your channel is worth following!
Always great tips. You guys do your homework. Harriet and I have been to Banff and Lake Louise . We had a wonderful time there. The video hit all the right notes🎵🎶 Sending you Best Wishes and Safe Travels to you and Julie🙏🙏 Jim and Harriet Richmond, Va.
awesome work, bro! Your videos are of pro quality - photography, editing, bg music and of course your narration with a touch of humour makes it classy. Also a major plus - you guys r not pretentious and not selling stuff! Keep it up!
5:29 - I just skipped back and read through all the text... Thanks for the content! My sister and her husband are in Canmore/Banff this week for vacation and I sent them your videos! It's been 5.5 years since I went up to that area with my wife, but we are hoping to go back again soon!
I have said this before and will say this again. Your channel is the best when it comes to video guides and vlogs. Perfection cannot be improved. Be you 😊 Oh yes, I did skip back and pause 😅
This was super helpful. We are looking at doing a self drive trip around the Rockies as we are not tour bus people and like the flexibility of going at our own pace. Didn't know you needed park passes, etc, so the tip about annual passes and the bus situation at Lake Louise was great info. Thanks for also posting about costs, it definitely helps with "ball park" figu I watched the other vlog on the area you did and thought that was excellent too.
Oh my! Banff in July 2024. We agree, one the most spectacularly beautiful areas we have ever visited. We were not able to visit Jasper as the devistation of the fires started the day before our long-planned trip. ( We drove the Icefields Parkway as far as we could go. ) These videos are by far the best we have viewed: funny, informative, complete. ( He is even funny if you don't have relatives from England as I do!!!!) We ALWAYS check to see if Suitcase Monkey has a video before we travel anywhere. London, Rome, Tuscany and Barcelona soon. Keep up the great work!!!
This is a very informative video - this is not a criticism, just some information regarding skiing. I'm a ski instructor. The best time to ski starts in December as in November the snow coverage is minimal and limited runs are open. Personally, I think we get the best snow in February and March but February can be brutally cold. Some ski resorts local to Calgary are open until early May. In fact, last year Sunshine Ski Resort was open on July 1 weekend!
Great vlog, thank you. My gf and i are visiting Canada from the uk in late june and are travelling via hire car from Vancouver to Whistler then Kamloops and stopping in Canmore for 6 days. We have already booked the gondola, plan to do an early am hike up to the Big Beehive, probably afternoon tea at the hotel at Lake Louise.
Very informative travel guide. Both of your Banff videos really capture the beauty of the area and are incredibly well made videos! I like your comment about driving time, as someone from the area I consider anything within a 2-3 hour drive to be "close by" but that is definitely not the case around most of the world. Only thing I would ad is a warning for people not to feed any of the animals regardless of how cute, friendly, small or hungry they appear. We have a local saying "A fed bear is a dead bear". Parks Canada has even gone as far as shutting down all access to some areas for a year at a time if animals have been fed there.
Thanks for the extra info. Yeah I did want to go more into detail about the animals side but the video was pushing 20 mins so I needed to edit down. Thanks.
Nice job Paul! We visited all those locations on our honeymoon….wanted some nostalgia so watched your video not knowing it was you! I was like, “I know him!” From many years ago back in R092. Hope you are well, congrats on the videos. Looking forward to more! Christian
Haha hey thanks Christian, great to hear from you. (The whole channel is shot on iPhone too if you didn’t know!) check out my other Canada video if you’ve only seen this one. That one will put your more in the Banff vibe! Thanks again
Yes, I had to rewind. Day after pie day (pi π day), I was all set to see what maths Paul was about to teach me. I enjoyed the real answer. Which means, you are explaining how to best engage your itinerary. Therefore only 10 days is required.
Great video, we head off to Canada in May and really appreciate the information you provide! Love the pink back pack, can I ask what brand it is please?
Re: the glacier hike Unfortunately, you hiked it when it is indeed least exciting as it has a deep covering of snow on top of it that accumulated over the winter. In September, towards the last days the hike is open, it looks completely different as the sun and summer heat has melted a a few feet of the snow off. Crevasses open up and huge, cavernous moulins are shocking to behold. These form where the surface water has been rushing down across the surface of the glacier and then made a hole for the water to descend down through it. If I have visitors staying with me from the UK, I take them on this hike in September and their astonishment at the features on the glacier is a joy to watch. Note to avoid confusion for anyone, I'm referring to the hike from the car park and not the hike after getting off the tundra bus. They stop much higher up on the glacier and it does not have the same features that you can walk next to.
being from MInnesota, USA, walking on a glacier is similar to what we have for weather from Nov-March. We walk on snow and ice for months every winter. I guess walking on a glacier, and paying for it, just doesn't seem worth the money.
Definitely ended up pausing, going back 10secs to read that entire text.. lol Also, great accurate info, especially the new changes to Moraine Lake access.. thank God I visited in 2022 in my car not knowing that would be the last time I could use my own vehicle to get up there 😂
Really informative and very helpful video ahead of our forthcoming trip to this beautiful area in September. My husband will be buying the bear spray and singing the song haha. Thank you for sharing
Fantastic look into the Rockies. Am hoping to visit this september Going solo. How much isa car to rent Calgary to Jasper. Thanks again for this great vlog. Well done on this.
The icefield parkway is iconic because it shows how much it has retreated over the last few decades. If you don't do the tour and do the short hike up, you'll see the signs which says the year the glacier was there. So don't recommend the tour, but do recommend going!
Thank you for making this video! I enjoy your work! We are coming from the US and heading to Banff, Jasper & Yoho in July. Going to brave the crowds, but we are early risers so we are hoping to beat the worst of it. I keep debating on whether or not to spend the money for the Athabasca Glacier walk. We are spending $$ on gondolas and the Maligne Lake/Spirit Island tour for sure. We have never been on a glacier before. We will be in the area for 2 weeks, and will be on the Ice fields Parkway in the middle of our trip, so I thought about booking it on our way back to Banff. About how long is the experience including the ride in the monster bus? (Not including the Skywalk). If we don’t do this, we would just hike to the Toe of the Glacier. But it seems like you can’t get that close. Plus I hear it’s quite cold on the glacier. I just don’t want to regret not doing it. Ugh.
Well I guess if you might have regrets it’s worth doing for that reason. All in total it was maybe 2 hours. About 25 mins on the ice. You don’t move that far from where you’re dropped off. It isn’t a hike or anything. Just wandering around. It was super cold and windy. If you see I was wearing my face mask to help the cold. Might be better in July tho temp wise.

Do you have any suggestions for elderly couples who are unable to do all the hiking? Thanks!
Yes. Do everything the same but without the hiking bits.
i had to drop a like because every time i had a question about what was being said, he literally addressed it in the next sentence!
I was in Banff September 2023, plan to return next year. I agree with you about the Glacier and skybridge.... Thanks for the helpful video.
From a person who has lived here for 30 years, thanks for reminding me what a beautiful place I live !!
Ok, so we backed up 10 seconds, and paused.. LOL.. Love your sense of humor, and this trip!! Thank you for the details!

Ahh that’s great to hear the Japan tips helped!
Love this channel it hasnt gone down the Luxury / aspirational route as many channels have. Please Keep it real and reasonable.
Thanks. This. I cannot promise all the time. 😅
Your videos with subtitles really help me to learn English, and of course these amazing scenerys make them really interesting

Backed up 10 seconds. And a great video!! Really appreciate the details and costs etc thanks for the help!!! Looking forward to going soon!
You’ll have a blast!
Planning a trip for Bannf and Jasper for September 2024. Great information. Thank you! (And yes, I rewound for 10 seconds..)

I guess we were unlucky then - we were there in Sept 2019 and it rained the entire time. (Which is fine, we're used to it in Vancouver!)
Glad I included that bit now about the weather changing a lot! I saw it was -30 a few weeks ago!

I live 3h away from the Canadian Rocks. Your video is fenomenal. Very well done.
Absolutely fantastic!
I totally paused to read the text 🙈 Excellent tips and great idea with the PDF. Very happy to hear 'Hello Mr Bear' at the end!
Haha. I originally scripted most of that to say but it was way too long and most people probably wouldn’t care anyway 😅
Great tips! What a wonderful video and we're thrilled you enjoyed your visit to Banff National Park 💜

Great information! We are going for the first time in June staying in Canmore as a home base for 9 days.
We really liked Canmore. Really nice vibe.
Very helpful! Thank you for sharing.
Another excellent video!
I’m planning for September and your video is priceless!
So many videos are just useless. No talking at all, or just some narcissist posing everywhere.
Welcome to the channel. This is what we aim for 😍
Great video, we head off to Canada in May and really appreciate the information you provide!
Love the pink back pack, can I ask what brand it is please?
Thanks. It’s seventeen London
More great information! Thank you!
Fantastic video. We actually live about one hour south of Banff. We watched your video as if we’ve never seen Alberta before😂
Very instructive, thanks a lot

Am hoping to visit this september Going solo. How much isa car to rent Calgary to Jasper. Thanks again for this great vlog. Well done on this.
Excellent filming
Brilliant. Thanks for this
Unbelievable nature view superb Canada really beautiful country we know
Great Info. I am going in early June this year and I suspect that El Niño is having its effect? My weather app says its up to 26C today in mid-May!
Fantastic
