I got a chuckle from the Mrs. and her thumbs down on poutine. I agree and believe the only way one can choke down the concoction is to be hung over, starving and lacking any food sources other than left over gravy, french fries and cheese. Wait a minute, that's how the recipe was inspired. Never mind. This is a great overview of Jasper and Banff, very informative. Thanks!
This is great. From 2008-2012 I worked as a tour guide doing multi-day bus tours from Vancouver to the Rockies and back and I cant believe how much things have changed and how good I had it back then. I now live in Australia and am going back in July for a spontaneous trip i decided on only a couple weeks ago and cant believe I cant just wing it like im used to 😂😭💀 great content, friends ❤❤❤ i hope i can figure out a way to get to Moraine Lake. Ive been all over the world and it truly is one of the most remarkable, accessible places on earth
I'm English, I live in England, UK.
I once visited Banff, ( Long time ago Sept, 1978 ) enjoyed my visit to Canada.
I caught a Flight from Seattle, U.S.A. to Calgary,
then Bus to Banff. Few days later caught a Bus
to Jasper.
I'm sorry for being boringly nostalgic.
Anyway, Peace to all !!
Thanks for sharing! Glad you have great memories.
Amazing tips!
We went to Glacier this past summer and fell in love with it (It currently ranks #1 for us. Bamf and Jasper are very high on our list to visit. I have LOVED your videos on these parks.
For those who take time to read the comment section,. Matt and Cheryl's advice on these videos and their guides is GOLD. We have used their advice for several trips (Yellowstone/Grand Teton)(The Utah Parks)&(Dakotas/Glacier). Every one of them was perfect in large part from the advice they gave. Of course, they are going to promote their business, but from someone who has utilized their work in helping others have a fantastic adventure, I cannot recommend them more
Wow! What a nice compliment. Thanks so much. We really do put our heart and soul into our guides. We would love it if you would leave a review on our website. You can pick which park, and scroll to the bottom of the page. Thanks in advance. wereintherockies.com/store/
This video gave me many golden tips for my trip to Banff next month. I’ll lead a group of 15, including a few teenagers. I made a trip plan based on my experiences in Banff & Jasper in 2019, but I’m making some changes to my trip plan after this video, like taking a shuttle to Lake Louise instead of driving four cars, which avoids the vast headaches we might have. And the fancy bus and BBQ trip. Thank you very much!
You will not regret taking the shuttle to Lake Louise! have a great time.
@@WereintheRockies thank you
Great video & very informative!
Thank you! 🙏
Thank you so much for the amazing video guys
I really enjoyed it
There were so many important details 👍🏼
See ya when you get here! ;)
We used Airbnb for our trip to Banff and Jasper in September. For Banff we stayed in Canmore, all were reasonable
Desde Puerto Rico muchas gracias por el video. Sencillo de entender, Hermoso y confiable
Great video!! Cant wait to plan
Enjoy!
Love your format. Thank you for the video.
You are so welcome!
We love your videos!
Thanks so much!
Thank you for the info ❤❤❤
You're welcome.
Thank you so much for talking about the hotels we are coming from Australia and are staying in all the Fairmont hotels. I wasn’t sure what to expect.
You're welcome. Have a great time.
Hmmmm.. I live in Alberta and have visited both Banff and Jasper national parks multiple times during all seasons and have never had parking issues anywhere at any Banff or Jasper attractions.
Oh and btw … poutine is not an Alberta creation, it’s a Quebec invention… either way, it’s much loved throughout Canada. It’s better than ‘beaver tails’ IMO
Love Love love that area! Well done video to share tips for the area (and failures! :) )
Glad it was helpful!
Thats for the help much apricated.
You're welcome.
Thank you for his helpful info.
Our pleasure!
very helpful video..
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent reminder of the speed limit and being in kilometers. Our truck has the ability to switch it to that. Hopefully that helps us!
We start our 2 week journey from Oregon at the end of June. I've loved your guys videos and content!
Thank you!
Have a great time.
We've done the trip multiple (well 5x's now) from Oregon. Two with our RV (trailer/truck), one tent/car camping, last two with hotels. Twice with a dog.
Crossing the border with dog. Need original Rabies Certificate signed by veterinarian who gave the shot (FWIW, this means no young puppies). Rabies Certificate required regardless of if your dog is a pet or service dog. Be aware that the border staff, either direction, could require a health certificate. Usually won't if animal looks healthy. So far we've just gotten one to CYA. But health certificate costs have jumped (locally anyway), and not sure about doing so again.
Dogs in Canada, in general and National Park trails: For the most part dogs are allowed on the trails, and other than restaurants/food stores. There are specific sensitive endangered wildlife areas where dogs/pets are forbidden, service animals designation does not matter.
Service dogs. The Banif/Jasper National Parks are within Alberta Provenances. Unlike the states, the provenances set the rules for service animals. Alberta has a service dog certification that even visitors can be required to have. That said what this means is that if in a venue that the proprietorship/staff request this certification and you cannot produce it, when asked to remove your service dog, you must comply. That said a marked behaving service dog they won't ask. Hotels can, and will, require you to use a pet friendly room, even for service dogs, so reserve so in advance. Some hotels do not put their pet rooms on the various 3rd party reservation sites, must call directly to get one. What we do is make the reservation, note we are bring a small service dog. If the reservation issue is true, then we will get an email, at which point we call directly, make the appropriate reservation, then cancel the 3rd party reservation (we do not make reservations that cannot be cancelled). No, I do not have one of the Canadian provenances service dog certifications.
Best route ever from Oregon. Go into Canada through the Idaho panhandle (2023). Best route ever. Eugene -> Bonnes Ferry (where we stayed at a small lodge) -> Kingsgate border crossing -> Banff. We saw black bear, grizzly, adult and juvenile bald eagles, in the national park just north of the border, along the road. Another good route is to take is through Glacier National Park Going to the Sun road, but we did that before the time entry reservations (2019). Then you take the border crossing just east of Glacier/Waterton. Note, check when these crossings are open, as not only are they seasonal, but closed on weekends. 2023 we came back into the states via the Montana (Waterton/Glacier) crossing. 2019, we crossed into Canada with that crossing. 2019 we came back through BC border crossing, biggest mistake ever. Even on a Sunday it was packed. Took us 3 hours with a car (if we'd had the RV, could have taken the big rig lane, which once we got there, would have been an hour faster).
Our 2019 trip was just for Banff/Jasper (with last minute decision to drive Going to the Sun Glacier). 2023 trip was Banff/Jasper/Waterton/Yellowstone/Tetons late May early June, bear (and any other wild animal) sighting trip. We saw lots of bears, including current year babies. As many times as we've been to all these parks in the last 45+ years (usually late August/early September) we've not seen a lot of bear. Other wildlife, sure. Hiking in the spring was limited, because of trail conditions and bear management closures (and just because I can, not risking my medical equipment to chance unsafe wildlife encounters, and it isn't bears. Elk, etc., really, really, despise dogs.)
Thank you for sharing these tips !! Family of 6 adults going un July and this will save my brain from straining on planning this out. Just bought your guide as well (you may want to edit the video and mention this in a few spots as many people may not make it to the end)
Thanks for watching and for purchasing our guide. We appreciate it!
Hello there! New subscriber here. Fabulous showing of sights along Banff to Jasper and very informative. And congrats on the success of your channel, both views and subs. If you have some tips to share, it would be greatly appreciated. Well done 👍. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend 😀.
Thanks! It’s good to have a new friend! I think CZcams is hard and I admire and root for anyone who does it. I’m not sure I have a ton of tips, but I’d be happy to chat via zoom if you’d like. I’ve thought about putting together a little travel vlogger group sometime where we could meet occasionally and discuss challenges, etc.
We are going to do the Hop On Hop Off bus which is perfect for many stops, including Lake Louise Gondola and Lake Louise itself
Have a great time.
Yea the poutine fries are okay to try once which we did in the Niagara area which were good but probably don’t want to make that part of your diet, just like the popular Caesar drink shiv is a popular type of there Bloody Mary , which was fun , but uses Clamato juice here in the states which they may use also 🧐😊
Thank you for the new guide for Banff! I am planning for this June and following your 4-5 day plans. The updated guide is very helpful but I still have some questions as the walking tour and car option are mixed in the daily activities. How can I clarify the time and routes with you?
Please send us an email. You can do so at this link. We want to hear from you and we will respond by email or phone if necessary. Thanks! wereintherockies.com/contact-us/
Awesome video footage wondering what type of video camera you all are using it’s got be 4K, still need to purchase those diamonds back binoculars and am almost finished putting our 3 week road-trip with your guides to the 3 National parks in the Midwest , thanks also for the news letters that you all email 😊👍
We use an iPhone 14 Pro. Have a wonderful trip and thanks for purchasing our guides.
Great video and informative. Thanks for sharing. Would you please share the website to book the shuttle to lake Louise?
Here you go. Thanks for watching. www.banfflakelouise.com/explore-the-park/transit-shuttles
Visiting at the end of April really hoping the weather will be okay! Nervous it won’t be
Yeah, I'd be a little nervous too but it could be amazing!! Keeping fingers crossed! 🤞🏼
Best time to go. When it is sunny. Go to Sunshine Village and take to sight seeing gondola.
Very beautifully explained that further added beauty to beautiful Jasper and Banff but would you tell in which month you guys visited it Thanks
We were there in August. Thanks for watching.
Yes, Banff National Park is not far from Glacier National Park. I'd like to go someday.
Great video guys! I would love to go there at least once in my life! Unfortunately, prices for accommodation are high in Banff, Lake Louise and the surrounding area. Do you have some tips to get a cheap accomodation in that area? Thanks 🙂
We stayed outside of Banff Townsite in Canmore. It's a little cheaper. The farther away you stay, the cheaper it will get but you'll have to travel farther.
❤❤❤❤
great video , what month was this taken pls ?
Thank you, we were there in August.
👍👍👍

Hi, can you recommend a reliable local car rental company at/around Calgary airport? Thank you
Great question but we have never rented a vehicle around there. A great option is to use booking.com so you can compare the ratings of several car companies at the same time.
