- Banff National Park could be the highlight of Season 3. RVing the Canadian Rockies seems to get even better every week. In this episode we start out in Coeur d’Alene, ID and talk about how to be prepared to cross the border. Then we leave for the Fairmont Hotel next to Lake Louise at the crack of 12:09 before making our way to Lake Moraine. We get up close with a bear & caribou on the Bow Valley Parkway. Then we take a hike at Johnston Canyon Lower Falls.

Many people have asked for the last song in this video. Here you go :) soundcloud.com/broke-for-free/lou-reed-the-velvet
I love the last track in this video, but it is different than the link provided here. Would you provide the link? "I've been praying through the evening..." Thanks!
Thanks for sharing a link. it seemed to fit your video quite nicely
Do you have a ling to the last track in the video?
to anyone interested, it took some digging on google and spotify, but I was able to find the song. It's called Lost Without You. The artist is Duty Division and Sebastian Forslund
We are blessed in Canada to have such natural beauty. Sometimes I think we take it for granted. Thanks for the reminder from the eyes of traveller.
You genuinely have no idea how hard I laughed at Calebs shoe joke on the drift wood. I know we, as viewers, only get to see a slither of your life on the road but I hope so much everything is as much fun for you.....as you portray in these videos. The chemistry with you guys as a unit/family combined with the photography and cinematography.......
Thank you......Thank you.....thank you!
:) Thanks!
Diefers Dashcam UK I agree!!
Bonjour. Well said. I agree.. please Post more videos -- Your Family iz an Amazing Inspiration for others to follow & learn from.
Do your kids know how lucky they are , having parents like you. Not just because of the travel. You remind me of people on a endless honeymoon. I love seeing the love in this family.
Rhonda Bloom Endless honeymoon. Is that a channel? I'll have to check out. Thx.
I thought Banff was the most beautiful place in the world as a child and now I see I was right. Great bear footage too. Cheryl
FYI....You have the most beautiful family, and the two of you, the way you look at each other with such respect and admiration. You set the bar for relationships and family. Nothing but respect to you and your family.
I have been Banff Twice. Once was before they built the tunnels. The next we came back they had built them. They are overpass for animals to cross saftey. Banff is an amazing place.
Never get tired of looking at mountains
Beautyful area, great video. We went there 2006, in April/May. Not crowded at all. We went to Pytoo lake. Road still covered with snow at that time of the year, hiked up to the view point. Been there all alone, sunshine, warm. It was awesome. The view, the frozen lake....was one of the best spots during our trip.
Banff & Lake Louise area is one of the most beautiful places in Canada it's absolutely breath taking
Trish's faces are killing me! I love them!!! We have an 11 year old boy and a 15 year old girl... SOOOOOO feel you on the "lets get going" thing. I feel like I spend half the day waiting!! I love how you get everyone in your group talking on the camera... my gang isn't as chatty in front of the camera... or it is all complaining. (who wants to listen to that!??) Ha ha ha...
Caleb's hair gel, Carson's back pack, Tori's coffee shop, Tricia skilled driving, Marc's photo skills. O, and then the beauty of Banff.
Once again great video. I do enjoy them very much.
Keep the rubber on the road.
Lol. You're too funny!
Keep Your Daydream If you are still in Canada check out the Prince of Whales lodge and lake in Waterton area on your way back to the state's well worth the time.
Brian, you forgot the 'water bottle flipping'.
Awesome video again. Banff is truly unbelievable . Thanks for sharing. Safe travels
I sold my house and I'll be picking up my travel trailer next week. Banff is on my bucket list. I can't wait.
Congrats! 👏👏👏
You will not be disappointed with Banff.
I sold my house last month and I'm living full time in my new Lance travel trailer. Loving life!!
Haha, I'm learning so much. I learned that you should always lock your tow hitch or else someone will steal it. Also, gas is very expensive. So are replacement tow hitches. :)
DancesWithBears so they didn't take your whole trailer, the hitch wasn't attached to your trailer? I bought an item called a Tough Auto Lock off of Amazon. It's better than nothing.
Lake Looweez is a bueatiful place. When I was young, the glacier at the end of the lake came right down to the water and you could walk on it. Banff is one of the jewels 💎 of Canada!! I am glad u and the family enjoyed the trip experience.
Banff is one of my favourites place
I can see why!
Take the Parkway north to Jasper, be sure to stop at the Columbia Ice Fields on the way. While in the jasper area be sure to hike some of the trails. Simply Amazing.
We be back to do that! Maybe after AK next summer as we'll already be north.
Ie: The Malign Canyon
I had the opportunity to stay at Chateau Lake Louise a few years ago. The beauty of the lake just after dawn brought me to tears it was so amazing. Crystal clear and totally reflecting the mountains surrounding it. There were no words.
The stroll up Banff Avenue in Banff looking at the mountain at the end of the street, is one of the wonderous sights in Canada.
Living in Edmonton, Alberta we are blessed to be able to visit Banff/Lake Louise/Jasper every year! We are NEVER tired of the beauty!!!!! My soul sings when I am in the mountains! Hopefully you were able to drive from Banff to Jasper- the most beautiful drive in the world!!
So BEAUTIFUL!!!! My bucket list when we're free!!!
Beautiful! Lifetime of memories!
Wow so beautiful! I love your "interactions" with each other, makes me smile. Thanks for all you do!! Jim.
Thanks Jim!
James Farnham - same here...they always puts a smile on my face : )
LOVE catching up on the old stuff I missed before joining KYD.
Banff and Lake Louise and Jasper, Alberta are the best places to really just go off grid even if its for a daytrip. Fantastic views of mountains, lakes, waterfalls and wildlife. I have been so many times and it never ceases to amaze me. Loved the video
the mountain to the right is Fairview mountain, and the view is absolutely other worldly up there and a great hike. if you guys ever come back to my backyard.
If ever there was a place I want to take my family, it has got to be Banff National Park. If its even half as gorgeous as you captured, it will be truly amazing.
Banff is jaw dropping gorgeous. 🇨🇦
Banff -Jasper area truly is an amazing place to see. My most favourite place in Canada.
I thought The Grand Tetons and Yellowstone and Glacier National Park were unbelievable but Banff appears even more beautiful.
Jon Dickinson Hard to compare beauty, but we do love parks that are grand like Banff, Zion and Yosemite. Reminds us how amazing the earth is.
I hiked to the teahouse at the glacier at 75 years old. A must while here.
I love Banff. I live near Edmonton, Alberta and my family and I went to Banff Mid July last year (2017). If you ever go back, do the Tea house hike to the top of the mountain. I have done that hike several times, as a little kid, when I proposed to my wife up there, and last year our whole family hiked it for the first time (Myself, my wife, 6 year old, 4 year old, 2 year old).
Bringing back memories from years gone by.
Lovely footage, commentary and music...thanks for a wonderful zone out this late Sunday evening...
The bear was likely eating buffalo berries.I don't think we have huckleberries in Alberta.Banff is truly stunning though.So glad you enjoyed it.
Thats probably true. There were so many huckleberries on Vancouver Island... looked the same.
Thankyou for this awesome look at my backyard, sometimes I take for granted where I live. Amazing
I like Johnston Canyon when the water is high in the late spring....you get soaked at that lookout nook in the rocks.
We did Canmore, Banff, Lake Louise by motorcycle in 2016. Incredible, and completely unlike anything you'll see in the states. AND for you bargain seekers, we stayed for 5 nights at the Stoney Nakoda Casino motel east of Canmore for less than $500. Very nice motel for a bit more modest price.
I could only imagine what it must have been like to ride those roads with the towering mountains around you. Thanks for the comment.
That water is so blue, almost doesn’t look real. Beautiful, great footage
I love the teen sleeping in/getting ready and leaving by noon commentary! lol!
I have a 3 year old who is oftentimes up at 0600!
Glad to see you were able to capture the beauty of Banff and Lake Louise for all to enjoy. One of the nice things about living in Calgary is the diverse country side. One minute you are driving through farmland and the next minute you're surrounded by mountains. Great job on the video!
We noticed all the farmland on our way to Calgary and couldn't believe it. Then we realized how flat the land is right next to the Sierras. Amazing country.
Wow what a gorgeous place. Banff you will see us soon enough. Once again what a great video thank you.
I went on a road trip from Winnipeg to Banff, jasper the. To Vancouver. I only planned on a couple hours but ended up being there al day because it just so stunning. It's an amazingly beautiful place.
I can see that! Jasper is still on our list!
I guess living in this area my whole life you eventually go numb to how beautiful it really is. Thank you for reminding me and thank you for doing a video in my home province. Been watching you for a year or so now.
It's normal. Traveling so much has helped us remember how beautiful the Arizona desert is.
Also if you ever return...go another 30-ish minutes past Lake Louise and you're in BC, particularly in Field, BC. Just east of Field by a very few kilometres is the road to Takakkaw Falls. You cannot tow your trailer up there because of the major switchback on the way up. Leave it in the lot below right after turning in or at your campsite like you did when going to Moraine. The falls are spectacular and worth the small road trip.
Then, go a couple or so kilometres past Field, headed westbound, and turn right and take the road up to Emerald Lake - another sight not to be missed. Nice easy hike around the lake. On the way back down, stop at The Natural Bridge - it's kinda cool. All of these are in Yoho National Park which abuts BNP and Kootenay National Park (KNP) which you drove through coming from Radium. Lots of great spots to stop in KNP too.
You came up through Cranbrook/Kimberley from Eastport/Kingsgate - Hwy 3 is a bit more roundabout way to get to Banff but a far more scenic drive PLUS before coming north to Banff you could swing down to Waterton National Park which is an utter jewel. Several things to do on the trip north - Head-Smashed-In-Buffalo-Jump for one...
So many awesome things to do here. 😊
Terrific!
We are lucky to call Alberta home, absolutely the most beautiful place in North America, ironically we travel right thru it to Montana and Idaho to get away from the crowds.
Love the music you picked out for this video..beautiful
We live around 2 hrs away from Lake Louise and have been several times, summer time is a beautiful time of the year to visit but winter at the lake is also an amazing time as well.
It’s a very special place for sure
Beautiful....that's it in a nutshell .....thanks for sharing Marc and Tricia...
Thanks. Always appreciate your comments.
Went camping at Banff and Lake Louise when I was a little kid; your video brought back just how beautiful it really is.
I want to go back and visit.....soon..... maybe next time pulling a travel trailer. Awesome video as usual!
Love the episode! Sat and watched tonight with the Mrs. and kids. Great fun to re-live a part of our RV honeymoon trek around the northwest and share stories with the kids. We loved Banff 18yrs ago and again tonight!
Nice. We love to hear that families watch our channel! Thanks for all your comments.
GORGEOUS just GORGEOUS!!!!!
This is one place that I have on Bucket List!!!!
Thanks for all the tips!
Been there 8 times :)
I have watched since the beginning, and this just came across my feed. Oh how small the kids were.
It's so much fun to sit on your dashboard and watch your family interact. I live four hours from Banff and appreciate the reminder how beautiful it is. I love how you pronounce Lake Louise as Lake Loooeeessss. We pronounce it Lake Loueeezzzz. Lol. So glad you enjoyed my backyard and were treated well. safe travels to you all.
Beautiful scenery, looks like you all enjoyed it
Jasper is the same Alberta British Columbia, was there in 92 I'll never forget the beauty of the place and seeing the Northern lights 😊
Wow. Just ... wow. We've gotta see Banff!
It's so amazing!
WOW! Your skills have risen over the top! Absolutely beautiful footage and editing. Sound and story, top shelf! You are awesome!
Thanks. Little improvements each time :)
Trish is always a wealth of knowledge!
:)
Next time you visit another must do is Emerald Lake BC. Not too far from Banff. That to me is heaven. Spiral tunnel is cool too. Enjoy our beautiful country. Great job showing it!
Looks like I'll have to add Banff to the bucket list, gorgeous. LOVED the bear footage!
We live in Boise, Idaho, and some friends of ours HIGHLY recommended going to Banff - we are taking a trip up there this summer in our fifth wheel, and this is so helpful!! Thank you for the smiles - your whole family is so cool!
You are going to love it. See if you can squeeze in Jasper when you're there.
Long drive days lead to good places. Thanks again for inspiring us to explore an entirely new destination.
Brings back nice memories-I was there in August, too!
great/beautiful shots.
Every time I watch another segment, I think, "THIS is my favorite one now". But WOW, Lake Louise!!! Unreal. Hope to see it for myself one day, thanks so much to y'all!
Yeah, I watched pieces of Banff when doing the Top 10 and thought, this is really cool! :)
Yeah! Tell Caleb (my 37 yr-old son's name also) I thought that was a clever joke... And yeah, you give me a smile on a day we memorialized a teacher taken too young... And, I can't sell the house, I'm easing my wife into the RV life... And yeah, thank you for the travel and adventure you share with us out here...
I think that this video footage was of the most beautiful land you have traveled so far. Sooo beautiful!!
See I told you guys it would be a good trip for you guys! Glad you loved Banff! Come and visit again. 🍁
Can’t wait to show this to my husband. We were there 2 years ago and had the same experience. So love your videos. This brought back such a happy memory. Thanks you guys. ❤️❤️
the chateau Lake Louise is my second favorite Canadian Rocky mountain hotel.
It's so cool to see Johnston Canyon from someone else's perspective. My grandparents started that place in 1927 and has been owned by my family since then ❤️ It was my playground growing up!
And there is jasper national park aswell about a 2-3hour drive from where you are
We so wish we could have done that! It's still on the list. Maybe after AK next summer :) Fingers crossed. It's still in pencil right now.
I love Canada, my home. Your welcome any time.
Hola desde Texas. Muy bien hecho, desde Page AZ para Alberta Canada .An corrido bastante y se an divertido bastante. Stay Safe.
Muchas gracias! Nos encanta aprender español y como comentarios en español. Somos capaces de leer y escuchar mejor de lo que podemos hablar ahora mismo. ¡Buenas noches!
Thank you for taking us on your adventures with you.
I love your videos. Lake Louise has been on my bucket list for a few years. I can't wait to see it. Thanks for the preview.
I just saw something in the video that brought back a memory! The overpasses that are built so the wildlife can cross the highway safely!
Gorgeous scenery
Wonderful overview of a spectacular location. Banff was already on our list, it just moved up the list a bunch of notches. Nice family, fun to watch. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks George. You won't be disappointed!
I’m so happy you decided to go up to Banff. So gorgeous there. 🤗
Yes, but sorry we didn't get to see you. We'll be back. GNP is still on our list now. So many places to see! Never enough time.
Oh my goodness what spectacular views......definitely a favorite!!!! Love your videos.....
I am in awe of the beauty you have experienced in your trip to Banff.Also,Trish I like your necklace.
Thanks. That was my first gift for Trish 20 years ago when we first starting dating :)
Shoeacide. Classic Caleb. Good chuckle on that one.
Wow! You are now in our backyard! We hope you enjoyed our Alberta beauty as much as we do!
Banff is my back yard. Love the mountains
Sad that you guys didn’t do the Canyon hike at midnight. It’s the best time to do it. Leave at 1030. One your at the pots the stars will reset your view on the universe.
So beautiful! Thanks for the traffic tip 😊
Thank you! Heading that way in a couple weeks, this was so helpful🤙🏼❄️😄
The first time I was at the Chateau Lake Louise was in late August, 1971, on my way to Fairbanks. I do not remember it being called the Fairmont. The ice fields further north in Jasper were amazing, too. Wonderful documentaries you folks put out.
OMG, I am so going there!! That is absolutely beautiful!!!
My backyard! Come back when its not so smoky!
"Bottle flipping" lol, this is yet another great video. Canada is just so beautiful. As always, thank you for sharing the awesome sights with us.
The music in this video was great!
Thanks much for your wisdom of experience!
Awesome- Will Do - Thanks for the reply
Absolutely beautiful. Love the tunes Marc.
What a beautiful video! Lake Louise, the mountains, the hike, the bear, the seven point Elk - What an adventure!
I was the middle child in a family of 5 also. I know how you feel with the late starts/late arrivals. It wasn't until my siblings had kids that I realized that WE were the reason mom was late alot, not mom, lol. Well, my sister and brother mostly. I was a lot less maintenance, lol
