- This video will show you the general trail conditions in late summer, views, statistics, some campground information and guide in hiking the trail. Hope you find this helpful in planning your hike. Thank you for watching and please subscribe for more of my hiking adventures.
*********************
Sawback Range stretches from the Bow Valley Trail to the southeastern side of Banff National Park, Alberta. It features beautiful alpine lakes, meadows, glaciers, snow-capped mountains and a sea of peaks from the Sawback Range and the Canadian Rockies. Peaks in this area have unique features of near-vertical sedimentary rocks carved by glaciers.
It has many trails and could be done in many ways: as point-to-point, or as a loop. We did a six-day backpacking from Johnston Creek Trailhead (accessed via Moose Meadows Parking Lot) to Larry's Camp, Mystic Pass and Lake, Block Lakes Junction, Badger Pass, Luellen Lake and looped back to Johnson Creek Trailhead

Wow, what a beautiful and wonderful nature.
I've been to Banff a long time ago, and it was a pity that I only saw Lake Minnewanka for a short period of time, but I'm happy to see Banff Park on video.
The simple bridge is unique.
It's really beautiful to see a girl looking back slightly.
The wild flowers are pretty and I can see the eyes.
Impressed by the clean nature
Thank you for uploading a wonderful video.
Such great views of the mountains. They seem to go on forever. Love the reflections in the lake.

thats indeed an awesome hike... so beautiful out there so good to explore... good to see a wonderful place... you guys captured great footage.... big thumbs up from me.. cheers.... thats perfect travel...
Wow! Again, many thanx for posting! Just returned. I followed in your footsteps for 6 days: Larry's - Mystic Junc - Sawback Lake - Block - Johnson Creek - Out. The only trouble I had in six days was in descending down from Badger Pass; took three attempts to get down. On the first attempt, I turned around to take a picture, looked back and said "I have to go back up to look around some more." Hiked back up. Second attempt to go down I looked back up and asked "I wonder what I could see from those two ridges on either side of the pass?" Back up again. Third try to get down I really had to get going ... . It's an amazing hike and you have captured it beautifully. Your video helped me immensely to prepare. Many thanx for posting. D
Hi Dan . My pleasure ! Wow! That’s great ! Yes, Badger pass is really beautiful ! We stayed there for a lunch break and I can’t get enough of the views in that area . Kudos to you for doing some exploring ! Thanks for sharing your experience !
It’s a great less popular spot in Banff. We hiked up to Luellen Lake just last week & will be releasing video reviews of the first 3 camps and also a full video exploring all of Luellen Lake. Headwall, waterfalls & fishing.
