Love your enthusiasm for my country -- every year during fire season we see thousands of your countrymen coming to help and we are incredibly appreciative for your efforts to help save our forests and towns -- cheers from Canada
🇨🇦 Welcome to my back yard ! Been going to Banff all my life ! I live in Calgary and the Mountains around Banff, Kananaskis, Jasper and Waterton have always been my playground ! 🇨🇦
The Canadian Pacific Railway hired some Swiss mountaineers in the 1890s to introduce the pleasures of mountain climbing and skiing to Canadians. They built Swiss chalets for them to live in.
Beautiful place, but I would recommend going in May or September so you're not squashed by crowds of tourists. The Kettle Chips are usually an option instead of Fries and they more crispy than regular packaged chips.
About your chip comment. They are made in house fresh with their own spices. Yummy and warm. Plus Banff was Canadas First Nation park. My fave place for winter with the skiing.
G'Day Tash! I was born in Calgary, I left when I was 16. Which was a few years ago. lol My mother was born in Nordegg, Ab in 1920. She loved the mountains and we were there all the time. Haven't been up there for a while. Time for a visit. 🥲😍
Great reaction! If you plan on going to Banff, you’ll fly in to my hometown of Calgary! If you can, try to avoid July, August as that’s the peak time and super busy and more expensive! I’m not sure if anyone else has updated you as to the wildfires! Jasper took a major hit, but I don’t think it was as bad as expected! Wildlife seemed to be okay, but unrelated to the wildfire’s a rare white grizzly and her cubs were hit on the highway and the cubs were killed and the mother died later the next day! 😢We had smoke all the way here in Calgary! Jasper is about 4 and half hours from here!
Hi. 👋 my son and family live in Calgary. I been to Banff a couple times. Drove, and such magnificent views along the way. First trip we spent two days. Rented a cabin, with hot tub, pool and sauna. Was amazing. Toured Banff, and ate at some great restaurants. We had a young man, Aussie serve us. Was so friendly, and handsome. Food was delicious. It was june, busy, but I don't mind crowds. Was a horse, carriage, could take you around Banff. Views are breathtaking. Was there in May, this year, a day trip. Weather was rainy, and cool some. Not great. Lake Louise was still froze some. Not great for pictures. And raining. Got to Banff, sunny. Overall I loved it. I think summer is best time to visit. It's warm, great for walking, and touring. Even if crowded. Going again next year. 😊❤️👏🗻 enjoy you and your channel. Whenever you go, you will not be disappointed. 🤗❤️
When I started school in 1970 my dentist was in Banff. Drove in from Golden BC. That was a drive to remember. They now have a four lane highway through there. Still an iconic drive.
You should also look into Waterton Lakes National Park. We spent a week there this summer and it has a lot to offer as well. Where the Prairies meet the Rockies.
I live about 4 hours north of Banff, it's been a weekend vacation spot for my family and friends for decades. I can vouch for The Grizzly House, last time I was there I had the exotic meats platter, it had rattlesnake, alligator, and even some kangaroo.
I am not sure that you can say that Canada is going through another wildfire season. Last I heard last years fires never got all put out, so I think this is technically still last years season
Hi Tash. I’m giving this a like even though I didn’t watch it. I like YOU and your content but I’m pretty sick of hearing about about how beautiful Alberta and British Columbia are - as if there aren’t 8 more beautiful provinces and 3 beautiful territories! Sorry (not actually).
Been years since I have been to Banff, we only went off season with less tourists. Still nice to see on video...But that AI? voice make me cringe on their video, lol.
4:52 $75?!? Did that massively go up in price recently? I lived in Calgary until 2016 and thought it was less than $50 (possibly as low as $30). Also, there's a tonne of Aussies there on their OE (or at least when I was there).

Wow, thank you!
We return the favour. It's a strong bond.

Banff is stunning in the Fall..with all the Yellow Aspens Glowing..
Banff is famous for its Larch trees in the fall, they are coniferous trees as well which makes them even cooler

My late husband, & I had our honeymoon in Banff in 1966.
Massive thanks to your firefighters who always come to help out.
Our pleasure!

Banff is hands down one of the most beautiful places on Earth and must be experienced in person❤More Montreal!!
These are fresh made potato chips. Hot out of the fryer. A lot of restaurants offer them. Just thin round French fries.

Kettle chips in a restaurant are a lot thicker then the kettle chips you buy in a bag at the store. They are more like round french fries.
Missed the hot springs in Banff
I have had your bacon when I was in AU. It's fine. Tastes just like our side bacon.
I lived and worked in Banff many years ago. Beautiful town. Chips are great with a sandwich. A nice change from french fries.
You should also look into Waterton Lakes National Park. We spent a week there this summer and it has a lot to offer as well. Where the Prairies meet the Rockies.
Okanagan Cider is great - my favorite drink is Okanagan Extra Crisp Apple Cider.

Whenever you do get to Banff, don't forget to check out the Columbia Ice Fields!!
Been there Done that 😁been to most of the post cards in Canada coast to coast but Ive never got to my dream " Nahanni National Park in the Yukon
My backyard borders on the wilderness...gonna change soon...there is a new subdivision being developed.
It's great place to visit just don't go in June July or Aug , numbers are crazy.
It would be nice if You could see an old Video of Jasper..before the Fire..
Love your Winnipeg Jets jersey. They are one of my teams...I love all of our teams but the Canucks are my team.
Kettle chips are the best!
Those chips are not the same as potato chips. But I understand the confusion lol
We have wildfires every year.
Go to Canmore instead. Prettier, cleaner and cheaper.
Guaranteed, at a restaurant like that, the "kettle chips" or crisps were homemade and seasoned in-house and not from a packet.
French onion is the king of all soups. There isn't another soup that can surpass it nor even come close to it.
✌️💕
Banff, prepare to have your wallet emptied.
I was wondering about. Mom worked in Jasper (1940's) she said then Banff was a tourist trap.
where have you been
In Australia, You 😀😃
I am not sure that you can say that Canada is going through another wildfire season. Last I heard last years fires never got all put out, so I think this is technically still last years season
I prefer wilderness hiking...I don't like crowds.
You couldn't pay me to go to Banff. It is a crowded tourist trap.
Pay me. I'll go.
What a scam. Pay a big bill to eat out…and you have to cook it yourself.😂

This A.I. voice app was programmed by a dude on 'ludes. Soooo irritating.

🇨🇦 Prices for the Gondola are also seasonal (higher mid season) and some prices are for a few hours and some are for all day ! 🇨🇦
can you say tourist trap even if beautiful.
