Welcome to Canada, neighbours! If you ever get a chance, check Jasper national park. The two are conjoined, such beauty. Welcome to Alberta, hope you have an absolute blast.
Thank you! We’ve been so grateful to make it to Canada. Alberta is breathtaking! Our next video is about icefields parkway and we were planning on going to Jasper but those awful wildfires had come through.
@@deniseandreed oh yeah.... brain didn't wanna accept the Jasper fires....... sorry bout that. Anyways, enjoy your stay, and be safe and well. God Bless you both, and yer pup of course. 🤠
@@deniseandreed. You can still drive to Jasper. No problem, the town wants people to visit. Jasper thrives on tourists. You’ll be fine. The town needs tourists.
How wonderful; it has been a few years since I have been to Banff and it was in July and yes, it was overflowing with tourists from all over the world. You were wise to do your trip in the fall. As Canadians we are very proud of our Nat’l Parks of which there are many! Thanks for the videos, you two are so great together! ❤️
When I saw you had posted I yelled out loud “they made it!”. So glad to see it! Have such a lovely trip to the ice fields. I’m definitely looking forward to that video - it’s a place high on the bucket list.
We made it!!! You’re awesome, thanks for rooting for us and for being here :) Makes our day. Yes the icefields has been on our list for a long time. This entire area is just unbelievable!
All this beauty and more is literally N hour away from me and even though Ive lived here all my 61 years I never tire of exploring it. Always something new 😁❤️🇨🇦
Me too! Spent the summer of '80 at Tunnel Mountain, wintered in Burnaby then back to Banff in the spring of '81. We stayed at Ma Ruby's opposite Phil's Restaurant. Best time of my life.

Welcome to my neck of the woods. It's a beautiful area that we are so lucky to have at our back door. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I never get tired of the beauty of it. Keep Enjoying!
You guys are absolutely the sweetest. So positive. So lovely to hear all your hyped responses about your adventures in my backyard. Indeed the Canadian Rockies are magical… Your country equally magical. Re-re-: your last video, as far as I know a flashing green light simply means that there's a lane available to be turning Left so the oncoming traffic is stopped for you. I've never seen that it is a flashing green to acknowledge there are lots of pedestrians if anything it would be a flashing yellow to indicate slow down proceed with caution. Look forward to hearing more from you guys. So happy to subscribe to a positivesite.
As one who has spent most of my 72 yrs in AB,, I would add a few suggestions. First, book a few nights in Shadow Lake Lodge. Walk in is +/- 9km, great meals and accommodations, and captivating stories from those who work here. If you are lucky, you will see the owner leading a horse back pack train resupplying the kitchen w food and wine, or bears on the trail. Worth every penny. PS another response encourages visitors to spend some time between Vancouver snd Banff. I recommend you do so, but take the back roads. Consider the Kelowna/ Oliver wine country, Jasper, and lakes around Nelson. Much much more. David
12:10 oh wonderful! You did take her out.. xoxoxoxox ^_^ I"m glad I subbed! 13:23 you guys are awesome! I love your energy, Denise! Good for you, to carry her up, all 40lbs of her.. I"m sure she's so happy.. and that's the point! To make them happy. xo I also noticed the 'one with nature' comment and I"m agreeable.. but you cannot be One with nature just by going on a hike for a day. You're just visiting nature.. and you do it on trails that were violently and recklessly deposited there, smack dab in the middle of their habitats whether they want us there or not. Sooo.. nobody out there right now is ONE with nature. Not trying to rain on the parade.. but folks NEED to know what reality is, and speak from that place. xo
Yes! Bella and Rita are our family and we take their wellbeing very seriously. We occasionally go on hikes without them but always balance it out by getting them outside!
I have lived in Canada for over fifty years - originally an American - and have loved every minute of it. Your video of Vancouver, Banff etc is very nice, but you, like so many Americans - and Canadians as well - fail to appreciate the vastness of the country and the diversity of the cultures that it embraces. Absolutely travel East …. All of the way to Newfoundland - it is thousands of miles - but do not ignore the North. Happy travels
If you are in shape hike on the trails. Within 2 km's you will leave most of crowds behind. Banff townsite is insane with crowds. Same with the shores of Lake Louise in front of the hotel.
Banff was a great way to dip our toes into the Canadian Rockies and the beauty of the area. We recommend it for that reason alone! We’ve been getting amazing recs and now have endless places we want to explore in Alberta.
I can not believe i missed to see the crystal clear color of water because of rain .... 😢 Definitely ..... im gonna go again and see them thanks for your video
Nice video and glad you guys are getting to see the Rockies and our awesome parks. I can’t believe the prices tho 😳. 15 bucks for a pot of Tea ?🫖 holy cow ! Just be careful,..snow can happen anytime now! 🤗🇨🇦💙‼️
there are paint pots in Kootenay National Park, British Columbia. there's spotted lake near osyoos too. there's an unusual interior temperate rainforest near mcbride, bc as well.
I love my trips to Banff. Check out Jasper and the ice fields. Those are awesome to see. I also suggest going and spending a day in Canmore. The 3 sisters are an amazing view.
Johnson Canyon is very nice Maligne Canyon in Jasper blows it away. Visit Jasper too. Both are great places. Nice time of year. Cool Mountian mornings and sunny afternoons.
Although prices seem high if you happen to be American your American $ gets you 30% more for your dollar. As a Canadian it gives me second thoughts whenever I think of going to the states knowing everything is 30% more.
So glad you made it to all those places. Over the years my family and I have been there many times. Columbian ice fields are amazing. But slowly disappearing. It’s melted a lot from the time I was a kid to a parent taking my family. Enjoy it . Poutine is one of my kids favourites .
@@deniseandreed Yes including Grizzly bear and her cubs , at two Jack lake and Tunnel mountain. But she left me alone. Same Grizzly all 4 times. Thank you for visiting here .
I have hiked and hunted all over BC. I can tell there are many plces more spectacular than Banff. The Purcell mts the Selkirks the Cariboos the Monashees and the northen Rockies West of Fort Nelson not to mention the mountains by Chilco lake in west central BC. I have been to and flown into many lakes up north, over the Lloyd George Glacier, the Muskaw, Gatho, Kechica, Liard , the list goes on. Tourist love Banff, but it is just the tip of the iceberge. Then there is the Stradlers and Bugaboo glaciers in the west Kootenays , so many and little time left to see the rest.
Thoroughly loved your Adventure Vlog and I live here ... haha. Actually I live on the west side of the Rockies and what you are seeing in Banff goes on and on for another 12 hours driving to the west. Fun Fact: I went to university in Banff and couldn't have wished for a better place to learn. 👋😎 Best Wishes.
Wow going to school there sounds like a dream. We lived in the Colorado and the Canadian Rockies are next level! Such an incredible area. Thanks for watching and we’re glad you liked it.
Lovely editing! As someone with hEDS, joint pains are no joke! I'm living vicariously through your travels as my body started to fall apart in my 20s 😅 I'm surprised by how few people were out and about in Banff, but I wonder if all the wild fires not far from it has effected tourism. I was tempted to take a train to Jasper just before they were hit 😢 $15 is highway robbery for tea though!
Thank you! Yes… we ran a half marathon a few years ago and that’s when the hip pain started 🤦🏾♀️ I do stretches and exercises but it acts up every once and awhile. Yes the tea… We wanted to embrace the one time experience so we said why not, but as budget travelers we feel you big time.
Thanks for joining our RUclips fam! Yes they are both gorgeous in their own ways. The entire area has blown us away. We’re so happy to get to experience it.
Stunning scenery isn't it? I enjoy seeing people's reactions to the wild beauty of the Canadian Rockies. Banff is lovely and the drive to Jasper National Park is another to take your breath away. I live 10 minutes east of Jasper. We had some devastating wildfires over the summer but nature's beauty will rejuvenate. Sadly, much of the wildlife lost their lives.
Yes our hearts go out to the people and wildlife affected by the wildfires. The area is unreal and we’re so grateful to have been able to experience it!
If a person's hunger correlates to low blood sugar (it doesn't in most cases), that can easily (scientifically) explain the laughing. With hypoglycemia, the first symptoms a person experiences are usually 'brain'-related as the brain is the organ that uses sugar the most and the first to 'notice' a lack of it. Mild, transient hypoglycemia often causes a bit of muddled-thinking and a person can seem a bit loopy or drunk (while not actually drunk, I wouldn't advise driving). Everyone experiences a different constellation of symptoms with low-ish blood sugar; some are more sensitive to it. Some people's lips tingle, some people get itchy palms, etc. Most people's bodies quickly correct this low by converting stored glycogen to glucose from various organs (mostly the liver) -- it's like the emergency glucose reserves. These emergency reserves can be partially depleted if not enough caloric intake in the past few days relative to activity (or if someone is on an alcohol-fueled bender) making a person more susceptible to low-ish blood sugar. Not a major cause for concern. Keep juice-boxes on hand for hikes if this happens. And with all the daily back to back hiking, be sure and have fair-sized dinners to restock the reserves. That water, though. Unreal.
Wow thanks for the detailed explanation. It’s usually laughter and loopy behavior and then there’s a a dip in energy. Once the goofiness comes on we try to grab a snack asap. Carrying juice boxes around is a good idea. Matches the behavior too haha.
Pirates hahaha 😂 … We decided to embrace the potential once in a lifetime experience and go for it but as budget travelers we feel you! And we both got like 4 cups each out of it.
@@davidedwards3838 I'm pretty sure the high prices are a reflection of the inaccessibility of the restaurant and the difficulty in getting supplies to it.
@@pitcat1376Try again, it's so close to Calgary and the fact that it's a tourist trap makes it a constant run. This is inflation mixed with tourist prices
Canoes are $160/hr?! Shame on you, Parks Canada. That’s simply absurd. Even half of that would be ridiculous. I understand you don’t want hundreds of canoes on the lake at one time, but gouging like that? 🙄
Banff sucks! Too crowded, too expensive and the rudest tourists ever. Thank God we Canadians have wonderful memories of Banff of the past. 70 yr old Chinese men pushing other people's children out of the way is not ok. I will never go back ever.
We’ve been to many national parks and this one was very special. The diversity of the people we met only enhanced our experience. We will cherish our time in this area for the rest of our lives!
Why aren't you taking the dog on your hikes and whatnot? Seems really sh*tty to leave her behind like that. :'( I'm a new sub.. I'm also a HUGE animal advocate.. that means I watch people and what they do with the animals in their custody.. or care, maybe. Depends, really. So.. do you have custody of the dog or do you give the dog CARE.. hmmm.
Dogs attract wildlife. Safer for the dog to not go hiking. There are dog parks however. Sounds like you think this decision was made lightly. With you being a HUGE animal advocate, I’m surprised you didn’t look at all angles regarding pet safety
Loads of bears in Alberta and B.C. , dangerous even for humans. They invade the tourist towns, so there are bear droppings and bear-resistant garbage receptacles everywhere.

I’ve been waiting for this video, and was worth the wait. Absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing 😊
Awwww yay! We are so glad you’re here. Yeah the entire area is mind blowing…. We keep pinching ourselves.
You should have gone for a dip in the hot springs. It's a nice way to relax and heal your muscles. It isn't that expensive either.
Beautiful photography; welcome to Canada!
Thank you! 😃 Canada is GORGEOUS

Oh my gosh, us too, thank you! And thanks for being here.
One August I took the gondola in Banff and had to buy a fleece pullover in the gift shop because I was so cold.
It’s definitely a place that requires a jacket or two handy in all seasons haha

We would love to visit Jasper! We couldn’t this time because if the wildfires but we hope to in the future
Head towards revelstoke, isn't illecillewat campground, stunning scenery and hikes and much less crowded.
Yes we love Revelstoke! Such a cool place. Thanks for the rec :)
Was planning a trip until I priced it out. 1 week in Banff more expensive than 3 weeks in Portugal.
Johnson Canyon is very nice Maligne Canyon in Jasper blows it away. Visit Jasper too. Both are great places. Nice time of year. Cool Mountian mornings and sunny afternoons.
We would absolutely love to visit Jasper. The fires did a real number on the area, but we hope to return at some point and spend time there.
As 55 year old, those hip pains are no joke...😮

Although prices seem high if you happen to be American your American $ gets you 30% more for your dollar. As a Canadian it gives me second thoughts whenever I think of going to the states knowing everything is 30% more.
That’s a good point! Reed has been joking about our “USD discount” but then we end up using it to justify all of our random spending 😂

Loads of bears in Alberta and B.C. , dangerous even for humans. They invade the tourist towns, so there are bear droppings and bear-resistant garbage receptacles everywhere.
