This is so gorgeous. Actually, the weather adds to the aura, I think. It's almost surreal. It's always a treat when you are joined by a family member. YOU SHOULD BE DOING DOCUMENTARIES. Noone provides us with an overall picture of places, better than you do, IMO. FANtastic, as always, Josh... 👏🏻👏🏻🤠 🧊
I agree with this guy! U & ur Pops' voice is perfect for documentaries. Very easy to listen to and your info is very accurate & helpful!
Rain or shine. Always love adventuring with Josh and Pops! Also Amie and the kiddos too!
The rainy days and fog actually make this video beautiful. Thankyou!
The areas between Banff and Jasper are some of the most beautiful scenery I've seen anywhere... Spent 2 week in a Camper Van there and absolutely loved every minutes of it. Thanks for sharing Josh! Love the relationship you have with your dad. So special.
Virtual traveling is one of the coolest things on CZcams and I'm always glad to encounter one of your new trips. It's so nice to travel in this way! Thanks! : )
Even beautiful on a cloudy day😊😊
A beautiful end to the day with a video from the Icefields Parkway. Your descriptions of places are incredibly accurate. It's great to listen to and watch! Greetings from Connectiut.🥰
Great video that was beautifully narrated! Thank you, this helped us prepare for our trip this summer. Greetings from Germany 👋
Just wanted to say thanks for that long-distance shot that Pops took of you across the lake at your first stop. I absolutely love it when you get a shot that shows perspective. The prior shot you had of yourself showing those icebergs in the background, they just look like little pieces of ice. 😂 That long shot shows they are humongous! What a great trip. Thanks for sharing.
You HAVE to go back as you definitely missed a lot. Have done this incredible drive about a 100 times now and can't wait to go back. This is one of THE most stunning drives and scenic areas in the world. Can't believe you missed Moraine Lake! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of the trip with you! Amazing scenery & great people. A pleasure always👍
Our pleasure!
What a gorgeous fun drive. Looks like I have a road trip I need to plan
Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. I had heard of this parkway, but I didn't know where to start.
Beautiful even in the rain! My advice has been to go to Banff/Jasper last week of June before the holiday weeks in July for both countries, less crowds and the lakes are thawed. Mistaya Canyon was one of my favorite stops along the Jasper route, as was Valley of Five Lakes - but Peyto Lake for sure was the BESSSST view anywhere in that area, even compared to sunrise at Moraine 😍
Oh Wow have to see in person!
Lake Peyto is amazing. Hope I get to visit it one day
Wow!! Gorgeous scenery!! It does look too pretty to be real. Thanks for sharing
beautiful drive. I'll have to drive it one day
We’re spending 2 weeks at Jasper and Banff this summer on our way back from Alaska. Your videos have been really helpful with us planning our stays!
The Icefields Parkway was the highlight of our trip to the Canadian Rockies! You definitely need to checkout Moraine Lake next time you’re in the area! I thought it was even more beautiful that Lake Louise! Looks like you and Pops had a great time! I will definitely go back to the Canadian Rockies for sure!
My mother, sister and I went there back in the 80s and stayed in our 3 man tent. Heard bears roaming around the campground and sniffing around our tent. Very exciting! Thanks for the memories and all your fantastic videos.
As someone who cannot afford to travel at the moment, I really appreciate these videos! Alaska looks amazing and I can't wait to visit someday.
Scenic Marvels! Unveiling the breathtaking Icefields Parkway journey - glaciers, waterfalls, and the magical Lake Louise!
Great video! We were there a few years ago and it snowed on July 4th enough to make a small snowman. Really enjoyed your content.
Even though it was raining and foggy, and I watched this on my phone, your footage was still absolutely stunning. What an amazing place!
We are heading on our RV roadtrip through this area this summer! Thanks for the great info and taking us along the road. :) Looking forward to seeing all of these beautiful places. New subscriber too! ~Kelli and Wilson
Your Video of the turquoise lake and towering peaks in Canada are breathtaking. I love exploring with you and Dad!
A few thoughts. You keep filling my bucket list! I'm now adding these locations to the list. I've never been to Canada but this all looks so amazing. Also, you have a really great voice for the narration of these videos. And also, props to Pops, he is awesome! I really enjoy the videos with your wife as well. Keep up the great work!
Question: how expensive are these locations in comparison with Alaska?
wow very interesting content friend
I'm so happy you enjoyed the beauty of out glacier parkway! It truly is my favourite place in my province. I hope you go on the Banff gondola! The views take your breath away when you reach the top.
THAT is definitely a bucket list trip
How phenomenal! I’m glad you got a hotel on lake Louise. All the stops along the ice fields parkway were stunning. What a phenomenal summer you both had
It was a crazy summer for sure! We still have videos from Yellowstone and grand Tetons from this trip too
This drive is amazing! I've only ever done it once, since I live on the east coast of Canada, but it's one of the best drives I've ever done. I really hope I get to go back someday!
Thank you for the all the videos you do!!
It’s a very special drive and we’ve been lucky to do it a few times…and hope to return in the near future. We always enjoy your videos with Pops. :)
Beautiful scenery. Thanks for taking us along.
Breathtaking views!
Amazing road trips!!!!
Oh my goodness! What a great trip. Thanks for sharing
Thank you Josh and pops that place is gorgeous
Thank you for this fantastic video. I am visiting Banff this September from the UK and some of the places you have mentioned I've put on my itinerary. I want to swim in Hector Lake, need to find a way to get there! x
Def can’t wait to visit Canada one day still never been ! Such amazing views my guy!! Glad you and ur dad go on so many adventures!
One of my favorite places on earth….the awesome Canadian Rockies ❤ Did you make it to Moraine Lake, near Lake Louise? If not, you missed the absolute best lake in the entire Rockies with views that would take your breath away. I’m so surprised this wasn’t on your agenda.
I hope you do an Oregon coast video on your way back home. I really enjoyed your pch video.
Your trip is certainly bringing back memories of when my family visited in 2005. One of the most amazing trips ever. In my opinion Lake Louise is lovely but Moraine Lake is even better.
I really wanted to visit Moraine but it was non stop rain the next 24 hours and I figured I would wait till I had the best experience possible to see it in the future.
The canadian rockies is an amazing place!! Even when cloudy it looks epic! One stop I'd recommend (and we did it only bc we had a little extra time) is Horseshoe Lake. It's super close to the Edith Cavell turnoff, but on the east side of the hwy. The hike in was super short (10-15 min one way). We didn't do the whole loop, bc we got a great angle from the spot we went to. I also liked Moraine Lake better than Lake Louise, but I think it looked better in the conditions you got it. Thanks for another great video!! Love watching your content!
Absolutely stunning! Going there later this year, first time going to Canada! Thank you for posting such a great video as always😁
Awesome Content.... You Have Helpful Explanations
amazing so beautiful and unique .
Oofah! How gorgeous is Banff!! Amazing video! Hope to see it myself! 🥾🥾😎
Really enjoyed as always! You should definitely check out Moraine Lake on your next visit, which is even more scenic than Lake Louise in my opinion 😊
Great video.
I just Subscribed ❤❤❤ it’s raining in San Diego so I plan to go watch more videos 😂 thanks for this video!!
I'll start by saying that I've gravitated back to your videos! You guys do a great job. When you surprised your dad with that hotel in Utah, I got emotional (holding my 6 month old daughter) thinking about how much I wish my dad and I did things like that together.
Now, enough with the mooshy part. I've been to a lot of the places you've gone to. I love Utah, Alaska is incredible, etc etc. I was wondering how this area compared in your mind? I'm heading out there to explore Jasper, Banff, and Yoho at the end of May. Thanks! Cheers.
Absolutely stunning, even in the rain! I long to get up and explore that area too! Will get there one day! Thanks for all the good info! It looks like it’s best to travel south on the parkway than north, crowds, getting to waterfalls earlier, etc. Did y’all find that to be the case?
I’m just here to give you a thumbs up 👍🏽
Next time you see a small mill next to a pond with 4 feet of head, think back to these falls. There's enough power in that little mill to grind or saw or weave.
Looks beautiful 👍
It also looks like its always Winter 🤔
beautiful part of the world sometimes a bad weather give it a bit more atmosphere and keeps the people away
I wish I was there😅
Next time check out Two Jack Lake
You didn't go to Moraine Lake?? 😱 To me that's the most beautiful lake in Alberta ❤
❤❤❤❤
Can you visit the glass bottom bridge without taking the excursion tour to glacier?
You guys'd like Norway.
It's easy to take a bad picture anywhere. There is a difference between a picture of a nice thing and a nice picture of a thing. Pay attention when people are going on about pictures. "OMG Teddy, that is such a beautiful picture!" No, it's not. It's a bad picture of a beautiful thing. More often than not.
Heartbreaking to see you experienced the drive in this weather. Did you miss Moraine Lake or did you put the content in another video? it puts Lake Louise to shame.
You missed Morraine lake! Way Bettter than lake Louise 😊
WHY are you always pressed for time?
