As an American there are many amazing geographical wonders in Canada that I have never gotten to see before. Today I am very excited to learn all about Jasper National Park in Alberta which is one of the biggest and most popular parks in Canada. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
It’s an elk. The noise it’s making is for mating. It’s called bugling.
I worked with a guy for that as his ring tone. Made me jump each time I heard it because I never expected it
@@Nevertoleave Now I have to look for that one! 😂👍
And they taste soooo good
My sister and her husband used to farm elk. The males had their antlers harvested while still in their velvet stage, for sale to asian countries, this meant that the males that weren't used for breeding had to have vasectomies, so the would continue to produce antlers. They also had to do regular T.B. tests, and other things, in addition to building special fences, corrals, etc.

The drive between Banff and Jasper is the most beautiful drive in the world!
My husband and I visited Banff and Jasper the year after he retired . The video doesn’t even do it justice ,it is just breathtaking ! We had our RV and stayed in the park campgrounds where we saw grizzle bears ,elk ,mountain goats ,mountain sheep . A pack of wolves chased some sort of wildlife through the campground in Jasper after dark ,we were warned not to go to far from our campsite after dark ! No worries we stayed inside !!! It’s such a shame this spectacular place is not known very well by Americans ,it is so affordable and one of the most beautiful places your eyes can ever see !
It's not a shame at all! It's managed to retain such beauty because so few people know about it. One of Canada's best kept secrets, SHH!!
I live in Alberta. When I was in Arizona visiting, people kept talking about mountains. It took me a while to realize that the locals called the hills in the area 'mountains'. I almost laughed out loud when I realized it. Talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill!
You haven't seen mountains until you've seen the majestic Rocky Mountains.
I’m in BC, surround by the Rockies, Cascades, and Coastals! Living in the mountains can make road trips a bit hairy (especially in the winter), but the beauty of them is well worth it!
(the snowboarding ain’t bad either haha)
Have done the same elsewhere. Always funny.
That's hilarious!! 😆🤣😂
Living in Edmonton, Jasper is just a 3 hour drive for us. It is so great to see Tyler's reaction to this. My daughter got married in Jasper last year during the wildfires. She was married on an island at Patricia Lake. Jasper was suffering a series of blackouts during this time so when we went to the reception at one of the restaurants we were lucky that is still had power while the other side of the street was out. And then it happened, the power went out, right in the middle of the chef cooking our meals. He was using a gas stove so he completed cooking our meals in the dark with flashlights and we ate by candlelight. It was an experience we will never forget. Needless to say, we gave them then a handsome tip for all their efforts.
The animal with the big rack at 9 minutes is an Elk. It's on our quarter as well.
I just got back yesterday from working there doing railroad repairs. Saw a group of Big Horned Sheep grazing only a handful of feet away, lots of Elk, bears, Mountain Goats... even saw two wolves only a couple hundred feet down track trying to hunt a Big Horn. Lots of wildlife on top of the scenery. It's rare to go a day without seeing any animals at least grazing on the side of the road while driving. They quite often stand on the road and stop traffic.
I'm surprised they didn't talk about Miette Hot Springs. I work at Miette Mountain Cabins and have been living here for some time now. It is beautiful.
I love that both Banff and Jasper are in my home province. Alberta is beautiful. Next time you should look into Waterton park, it's also in Alberta.
That was an elk:)) they are very numerous in the Rockies of Alberta. I grew up in Canmore just east of Banff.
The Canadian Rockies are absolutely spectacular. When you come to Canada, you must must come to the Rockies.
@ddiamondr1 - When you come to The USA, you must come to the Rockies.
You can usually have campfires in Jasper but we have had a severe forest fire season this year so there are currently fire bans.
Tha whole country seems to be dry this spring.
Omg that seems to be an amazing place to see. It's for sure added in my bucket list. I live in Quebec and it's one of my goals to visit and discover every provinces and territories in Canada. Each province's has many wonders. So proud to be part of this beautiful country❤
I am so glad you commented that you'd like to come to Alberta. I'm born and raised here, and have always wanted to visit Montreal. The architecture of the buildings in "old" Montreal look AMAZING to me in pictures, but would love to see it in person.
@@Ci-Me122... oh yes I always wanted to visit Alberta Banff Jasper and I'm sure there is good food to taste and nice people to meet.
You need to come to Montreal you will be chaed by the old Montreal there are good restaurant and plenty of fun things to do I recommande you do Saute Mouton à speed boat that go and jumps in the rapids of the canal Lachine. In a hot sunny day it's the percent things to do. Also think about Quebec city it's the most beautiful city in Quebec the old Quebec will amaze you you can run in the funicular and accès to Th Château Frontenac plenty of nice things to do with amazing people
There are so many beautiful places to visit in Alberta. Banff, Jasper, Waterton, Wood Buffalofor national parks. Then you have provincial parks and areas like Writing on Stone, Head Smashed In, Frank Slide, Royal Tyrell Museum, and so many more.
@@audreyblais Thank you so much!!!
For BC I recommend the Okanagan and manning park.
The fire ban is due to all of the out of control wildfires :( I live in Alberta, I know the smoke is reaching my friends in Colorado, Wyoming, North Carolina, and even Georgia! It's crazy. Banff is actually on fire as I am typing and has been for weeks. Please to anyone reading this, send us positive juju and hope for us that we get some serious rain. In terms of the video, I live only 3 hours away from Jasper. We daytrip there to do many of the hiking trails. I wish I could post pics of some of the most majestic peaks in the park! I hope Tyler eventually gets to see some of the places he reviews.... these videos, although beautiful, does not even come close to accurately depicting these treasured places.
We’re having A LOT of fires in Alberta/BC right now. They’re down, thanks to the hard work of the fire fighters and recent rain. So Alberta has fire bans on right now
When I was a kid growing up in the 1970's and early 1980's my parents and I would go on an annual trip to different places in Canada from coast to coast. Of all the places we went to I still think Jasper was the most awe inspiring place.
Every do lake Tyax or Okanagan?
@@_Twink I don't know of LakeTyax but have been through the Okanagan at least once and possibly twice. When I was in my early 20's I hitch hiked across Canada and one of the places I went through was the Okanagan valley. Also when I was a little kid my parents took a trip out to BC but I was too young to really remember much of the trip at all. Every year my parents would take us on a trip to different parts of Canada.
@@markastoforoff7838 I always accidentally name the cabin and camping site not the lake 😅 Lake Tyaughton is the name and Tyax is the name tacked on to every site around the lakefor whatever reason. Tyaughton is definitely a treat.
@@_Twink If I ever get back to BC I will try to check it out. BC is so beautiful it's impossible to see everything there. I did a google search on that place and it looks amazing. I'm unfortunately stuck in Toronto and it's expensive for me to travel but I definitely want to go back to BC one of these days when I can afford it.
American tourists are welcome with open arms...perhaps not hunters. Jasper is incredible, far less
commercial than Banff. The drive from Edmonton to Jasper is magical, by the time the Rockies are visible, the excitement is tangible.
They sure left off a lot. White water rafting is an experience that can be had whether you are experienced or not. My daughter and her family call Jasper home. She lives and works there and has taken me to such beautiful sites. The elk roam throughout the town. She said the the only time she fears them is when they are in rut. She took my sister and I on that gondola and to say the views took my breath away is an understatement. Just a note, if you take this tour, bring a jacket. The temperature is colder up there and that walk up the trail is not for the faint of heart. The elevation makes the air thinner and breathing a tad more difficult. There is a small cafe there too and that's where I sat and enjoyed the views.
I am from Northern Ontario and am very familiar with it's woodlands, lakes and wildlife but I was not prepared for the sheer majesty of the Rockies. The Athabaska River is a marvel. It is a pale grey-ish blue and has an almost mystical air about it. My daughter told me the colour comes from the silt from the glaciers. That place is magical! Oh, one more thing, that sweet little island they showed in the video is where my son-in-law proposed to my daughter.
This is really timely for me as I am currently planning a trip to Jasper in September. A couple of things if you are planning to go there. 1. Via Rail goes directly into the town of Jasper, so you don't have to worry about flying into Edmonton or Calgary and driving. 2. My cousin who has been to both Banff and Jasper said to definitely go to Jasper and avoid Banff. She said it is smaller, friendlier and more unique. 3. There is a tour where passengers (tourists) can ride in a sidecar of a motorcycle. The tours are 1 or 2 hours in length and goes to different places - depending on if one takes the 1 or 2 hour tour. Definitely a different type of tour. The animal you saw in the beginning of the video is an elk.
When are you coming to the Great White North Tyler?
If you can handle a fairly tough hike (not tough terrain, just elevation gain), I highly recommend going to the top of the Sulphur Skyline hike! (Miette Hot Springs Sulphur Skyline)
It's higher altitude, air is thinner, oxygen levels much lower. The lakes are all ice fed, don't try swimming without a wetsuit.
Animals will charge, attack. They're not tamed whatsoever.
Coats, bring them, the winds are frequently colder than you think.
@@ninemoonplanet Did some swimming in the lakes around Jasper. That first dive will take your breath away. Really refreshing on a hot summer day but not for the feint of heart!
Wapiti is another name for elk.
Jasper is to Banff, as Canada is to the U.S.
I saw this woman just last week in Canmore, Alberta. She passed me and smiled and I felt like I knew her from somewhere but couldn’t figure it out. Now I realized it was this woman :D
You need to do a video on Waterton Lakes National Park, Wood Buffalo National Park, and Elk Island National Park to get a video on all of the Alberta National Parks; it would be an achievement not done by any other CZcamsr!
We were camping in Jasper when I accidentally burned a pancake to the pan, we had to toss the pan, so we drove just outside of Jasper to get some breakfast and watch a black bear run into a car on the highway. So you gotta watch out for that
Sadly, they didn’t show Mount Edith Carell probably the most impressive place in the park. I also wish they covered Columbia Icefield Skywalk. Great video and reaction as usual.
It is Mt Edith Cavell
Tyler, that Stag you saw was indeed an Elk, not a deer or moose, but is in the deer family!!!
while on a camping trip we stopped at the glaciers and had a snow ball fight! peace and love from Canada
That was awesome, but they didn't even talk about the numerous trails for hiking, the many lakes in the area, rafting, mountain biking, skiing, etc. There's also a lot of mountain goats and big horned sheep!
The Cypress Hills in southern Saskatchewan is another dark sky preserve. Also an interesting place. Banff is on the TransCanada highway(the one that goes coast to coast)so a bit easier to get to for tourists. Jasper is spectacular.
Lamb is very tasty(as are elk). Tends to be more ethnic eg Greek, Middle Eastern, etc.
I was a guide for 6 summers on the athabasca glacier. That whole park is beyond beautiful. The ice field parkway is IMO the most scenic drive in the world.
It’s an Elk very majestic and around the same size as a moose 💕
A moose is almost double the height and weight of a Elk. Not even comparable
An elk is marginally taller and larger than a caribou, but nowhere near the size of a moose.
They are elk Tyler. Elk are in the deer family but much much larger. Elk meat is delicious.
I like the scenic videos more than the pop culture videos!
Awesome place!!
I believe in the end of October or early November they have a thing called dark night. Where at pyramid lake there is star gazing on mass. So there would be some guiding you through the star what is what actually really cool. I was dragged there by my then girlfriend and was actually amazed on the second night because the first night was cloudy.
I'm going to Banff (the gondola), the Athabasca glacier, and Jasper (the Sky tram) next month. Looking forward to my trip.
Banff has developed as a tourist trap, while Jasper, because of the rail switching yards has always felt more like a "working" town.
Banff is still beautiful nonetheless. The town is also very cool imo.
Banff is so much better than Jasper 🤣
Not really a tourist trap. That implies slightly scussy business. Like misleading tourists. It's just more expensive in the summer because it's a tourist seasonal town.
I very much preferred Jasper myself but Banff was plenty charming in it's own right. Just a little too urbanized/crowded for the likes of me. More souvenir opportunities in Banff for sure.
@@theViomax Banfff is like 5% of Canadian tourism, looks best in summer and requires decent fitness to reach most fun spots safely.
Great video as always. Lamb is not very common in Canada. It’s not unheard of, but most Canadians do not eat lamb. I believe it’s more common among Greek and Middle Eastern Canadians. Elk is also not very common to eat, and usually just eaten in high end restaurants in the parks, or from those who do their own hunting. Finally, Jasper is a great place to see the Northern Lights because it doesn’t have a ton of light pollution. That means you can see the Aurora dancing in all her splendour. You really should come. Seeing the mountains with their jagged rock in person is breath taking and Jasper even has glaciers that you can ride up the mountain on a massive vehicle and then walk out onto the glacier itself. Very cool experience.
The Nearest, largest and most Accesible Glacier is off the Columbia Icefield Parkway south of Jasper Township.!!!
While lamb is not regularly consumed by the average Canadian it has become more popular in recent years....most grocery stores have a limited selection of it these days....
Lamb is regularly eaten by many Canadians.
I have also known older people who avoid lamb because it reminded them of the mutton rations they were forced to eat during the war. But I'll tell ya, I was at a sheep rancher's conference once and if you get someone who knows what they're doing at a barbeque like I got, good lamb will practically melt in your mouth. I was also in Spain recently where we sampled a number of cheeses. Sheep cheese was our favorite with just the right amount of 'bite'.
Lamb can be an acquired taste, since it is much more flavourful than beef, but it is considered a delicacy by many Canadians with a British or Irish heritage. Traditionally Greek restaurants have been one of the most common places to find it as a roast or souvlaki, but in recent years local eateries often include a lamb burger on the general menu.
Keep us in your thoughts as Alberta burns away more and more every year. The wildfires started early this season and it gets worse in summer.
A Tyler Bucket video day is a good day.
There are four must sees in the Albertan Rockies; Banff, Lake Louise, Columbia Icefield and Jasper.
As a kid my Mom and I would take the train from Edmonton to Vancouver every year. The train always stopped in Jasper for lunch then on thru the mountains. At that time it was cheaper than flying, not so much now. I now live in Calgary and we often travel from Banff to Jasper thru the Columbia Icefield. Never get tired of the drive.
Haha, it’s an elk! I grew up in Banff in the 70’s then lived in Lake Louise for a couple of years. I’m surprised they didn’t she Peyto Lake, it’s the most amazing turquoise colour and on the way to Jasper. We used to get elk in our yard and they would come and eat my mom’s flowers out of the window box, their antlers would bang on the window as they chowed down.
I live in Calgary so I'm about an hour and a half from Banff and about five hours from Jasper. Banff (due to it's proximity to a major airport) is much more touristy and developed which is why I prefer Jasper. It's quieter and more natural. They are both beautiful though and have their pros and cons but you really ought to experience them for yourself! Therer is so much to see and do and they are connected by one of the most beautiful drives in the world.
Tyler your reaction to Jasper is priceless!! 😂😊 You're super excited about our Alberta mountain city. You should visit Jasper. It's beautiful.
Jasper also has amazing skiing 🎿 mountains in the park. Very busy spring skiing seasons.
The Banff/Jasper Corridor os my favourite place on earth. Have relatives in Both Calgary and Edmonton so there have been many trips.... Toronto loves you Alberta 😘🇨🇦
We were in Jasper last summer, camping. In the early morning we got up to find an Elk in our campground. It was an aggressive one and charging at people as they started down the trail to the washrooms nearby. Fun times
Beautiful scenery and beautiful food too!
You made me really laugh out loud when you asked if that Elk was a moose lol
Glaciers? Tyler, your Columbia River starts right there in the Columbia Glacier. That glacier field sends water to three oceans, it flows into the Columbia River watershed, and eventually the Pacific Ocean; it would flow into the Nelson River watershed, and eventually Hudson Bay and the Atlantic Ocean; and it would flow into the Mississippi River watershed, and eventually the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean.
You want to look up some more interesting stuff in Alberta? Look up 'The Rat River Trapper' and also 'Wop May' and his emergency medical flight to the frozen north in the dead of winter.
The night sky picture you looked at at the beginning is still a long exposure picture. Because a simple picture or video will not depict what you eyes could see in person. However the long exposure picture depicts more than your bare eyes can see. If that makes any sense
All of this just a few hour drive from Calgary. It's easy to get out for a day trip to the mountains. I have a friend with a small motorized raft and we've out in the middle of a few Lakes and it is true serenity. If you think it looks impressive on video... Wait till you get here my friend.🍻🇨🇦
When you go up the SkyTram and then continue walking up, you actually hit a point where you can't catch your breath. It's crazy to feel the thin air because of how high you are up. It makes you look at the guys that climbed Mount Everest with a new appreciation for their insanity. lol
I spent many summers in Jasper and we usually stayed at one of the less expensive lodges. Just be warned....if you sit down with a bag of Doritos, Beware of Marmots. They are damn cute little thieves that want your Doritos! Try to avoid feeding them, it's not good for them. Best Canadian advice I can give... Don't feed animals, and don't get close to them. They are beautiful and they are WILD. Respect them from afar and neither of you will get hurt.
(Btw....my Grandfather was one of the workers that built the Icefields Parkway. It was one of his first real jobs after he Immigrated here from Ukraine.)
The animal at 9:18 is a bull elk. Elk are fairly common within the townsite of Jasper and elsewhere -- a Canadian golf course hazard!
I Have been to Jasper many times that place never gets old. good thing I only live 5 hours away
Also, Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta is beautiful. Supposed haunted hotel, more mountains and lakes/waterfalls.
I live in Calgary Alberta, which is approximately a 90-minute drive to Banff. I've been to Jasper a few times, which is 3 hours from Banff via the Icefield Parkway, one of the most scenic highways I've ever driven on in the world, and I've travelled all over Europe by car several times.
Edmonton is about a 3 hour drive directly north of Calgary. It's approximately a 3.5 hour drive from Edmonton to Jasper.
Of the two parks, I prefer Banff.
I also say dinner, not supper. In my life as a Canadian, I've ecountered very few people that say "supper". To my ears it just sounds strange. Supper is very British, and I'm quite certain at one time the majority of Canadians used that term. It's also a regional thing. I remember living in Ontario many years ago, and recall people there saying supper more frequently.
Albertan here... my family go to Jasper every year just to chill and relax. We live 3 hrs away but well worth the trip. Amazing place in all 4 seasons
They didn’t mention that there’s a restaurant at the top of the sky tram. My Wife and I had a very nice meal there one year on my birthday. Eating salmon with the amazing scenery as a backdrop was a great experience.
Growing up in Edmonton, I spend quite a bit of time in and around Jasper when I was a kid. It's a stunning place. Really.
The Must Do couple need to make longer videos! There are a lot of things to do and see in Jasper. The town has a lot of great restaurants and a fun old hotel and tavern. The winters in Jasper are my favourite for skiing at Marmot Basin, ice cave walks, skating on the lake, and so much more.
Jasper is one of my favourite destinations. Used to ride my bike there every year or two and camp (great motorcycle shop there, too, back in the day). The town is great--"charming". But in nice way. And the Rockies are, as expected, bloody spectacular. Go there if you can. Camp. Worth it.
I lived and worked in Jasper, and he missed sooo much!!! Like so many easy hikes that are incredibly beautiful. I suggest Valley of the five for a great hike, and you can’t go to Jasper and not visit Jasper Park Lodge. Sit by the fire there and have a cocktail. It’s really a must. Also saw the most amazing Northern Lights while there. By far the best between Banff and Jasper.
I've taken the boat that those people went on, its actually really fun because you are allowed to go outside and feel the water splashing on you and its the most refreshing feeling ever.
If you hike the trail in Maligne canyon, in the winter, the waterfalls are Frozen....and it is magical 😊
Listening to the mating calls of elk in the fall is a special thing to experience -but at a distance because they are grumpy and not to be messed with.
Please continue making your amazing videos. I'm learning more about my country along with you! Greetings from Vancouver!
There are lots of both National and Provincial parks in Alberta Banff close to Calgary, Jasper, north of Calgary, Waterton, south of Calgary near Montana
Been to jasper many times times in my life and i gotta say its amazing.
They didn't even do the skywalk.... It's a big walkway that goes over a valley over a mile deep that has glass floors.
Yes, glaciers 😅 I remember when I was much younger - about 45 years ago - my father was in a wheelchair and we had our usual 1 wk vacation and we'd go from Edmonton through Jasper, Banff and spend a week in Calgary visiting friends and family. While in Jasper, getting people to help us was never a problem. Getting that same help in Banff was impossible when they would see a person in a wheelchair. Things are much different now, thankfully. And yes, it's an elk and it's delicious. Jasper still retains that small town feel, even all these later ❤
Hi Tyler. In my 20s I worked at Jasper Park Lodge a 5 star hotel that was built over 100 years ago when the railroad was being put through. I can tell you for a fact that waking up to the beauty of this park never gets old. While we were there when there was snow on Whistler mountain we would take the tram up and go garbage bagging. That is when you pull a large garbage bag up to your armpits sit back and slid down the mountain. I don't think You are allowed to do this anymore but it sure was fun back then.
Edmontonian here, so Jasper National Park is 3.5 hours away, 4 hours to Jasper (the town). Maligne Lake is great to visit in summer, but especially fun in late winter or early spring (May), when you can walk out on the lake and look back at the shoreline, boat house, etc. The Sky Tram is great, and there's a basic café at the top where you can see Mount Robson in BC when the weather is clear.
That big animal with the antlers is an elk, Tyler. Lots of them in Jasper.
Geese aren't too bad. We have thousands that migrate and mate here (Denver) and we interact with them daily.
T.Y. for enjoying, So many Landmarks of Canada & for this Vid. of Jasper ~~ Truth of the Matter, So Many of Us, Enjoy your Reactions to Them !! Your Reactions, Bring Joy & Appreciation :)))
I still have a small bottle of water from ice I scraped off the Angel Glacier 50 years ago.
I find that the geese have a bad reputation because most people don't understand when they were warned to back off (they will protect the youngs).
The big "deer" is an elk. The call of the males is called "bugling".
Hi Tyler , me again, after watching the complete video I can tell you that your U tuber is absolutely showing you the high end visit to Jasper. I have never had a lamb burger or rode the tram. However I used to walk so many beautiful trails for free and the nature is never-ending. Best dance place, hands down the Athabasca hotel. Been there forever and is big in the history of Jasper.
So im Albertain born and raised . I live between Jasper and Banff . Not in the park of corse . Close to the now famous Abraham lake but we use to have it to ourselves. Anyway the difference with Jasper and Banff . Jasper is chill but they made it look fancy . There's Miette there and so much more . Less tourist less snotty . Way more enjoyable due to that .
A place I like to go when in Jasper is a place called Evil Dave’s the food is great. They also did not mention there is a local ski I area in Jasper called Marmot Basin.
Went in Banff for four months and somedays, there were an elk on my patio... couldn't get out until he decided to leave. Or in the park, just passing by... but there really big and impressive, you don't want to be close as I've been !
Jasper and Banff are amazingly beautiful. Please look at gros morne national park in Newfoundland. It too is beautiful. The table lands and traverse ridge walk are worth seeing
Mr. Bucket you should plan trip to canada and do a phone stream or something and get your reactions of seeing some of these places in-person... (:D)
Some Canadians say supper for dinner. Mostly in the urban areas you will hear the word dinner used for the evening meal and supper is used in rural areas or back east or in the praries
In the east, dinner means the noon meal. As an Ontarian who’s lived in N.S. For 30 yrs, I generally avoid the word dinner…it’s less confusing that way.
You can go in a giant snowmobile onto the Columbia Ice Field. Still remember how cool it was to do that as a kid. The ice field is much smaller now.
It's a bus, not a snowmobile.
Gosh that makes me homesick. I grew up right outside the park - so of course we were always in and around the park area. The lakes, the rivers, the campgrounds, the wildlife. All very familiar to me. It was, essentially, my playground. Unfortunately, we moved awhile back and I've never been back, but I remember still! Seeing it, even briefly like this makes me want to go back. Technically, we don't live THAT far away, we're just outside Calgary now, so it's a bit of a drive. (Banff is a good day trip now) But while we still have the wildlife, we lack the lakes and the ability to access almost any land we see.
Honestly, it's more touristy than they make out. It's got the TransCanada highway going right through town, right through the park, so there are still a LOT of tourists. I suppose it may have changed in the years since I've been there, but I can't imagine it's changed THAT much. Tourism is the whole economy of the town.
It's an ELK, which are also on the canadian quarter! Regarding Lamb....I guess you have not been to many Greek restaurants, as lamb is the go to entree. It's delicious!
Sorry - that isn’t an elk on our quarter - it’s a caribou! Easy mistake…
@@terry2310 I will sit in the box for 2 minutes, and feel shame.
Per the Canadian mint it's a caribou on the quarter. Like the elk it is in the deer family but smaller than an elk
The animal you were asking about... I'd call it an Elk but I'm no expert. Elk are a form of deer, but not the "common" deer. Honestly "deer" is a catch all for many species.
I can honestly say... I've never heard of a "Lamb burger" or "Goat Cheesecake" the burger doesn't "surprise me" as anything meat has been a burger somewhere. The Goat Cheesecake... I never even thought of that, though I have heard of goat cheese, so somebody was going to try cheesecake.
Hahaha! You can’t go far without seeing Canada geese. They’re everywhere, depending on the season. They come back from the south every spring and leave in the fall. Oh, and by the way, elk is delicious!
Mount Edith Cavell Glacier just a short drive south of Jasper Township is Stunning from the parking lot to walking what seems easy at first becomes quite strenuous in a good way just slow your pace, Unbelievably Awesome View of a Glacier what looks to be clinging to a side of a Mountain!!!
Jasper is about 5 hrs away from where I live - and I have to drive thru part of Banff National Park and past Lake Louise to get there! I’ll be visiting an old friend in Jasper in June, a train engineer, who is one of the few people lucky enough to live inside the park!
Cheers, from the beautiful Okanagan Valley!
Peace
Banff is such a plastic shopping mall. It should be illegal to have a GAP store in the middle of a national park. The Cable car is scary af when leaving the lower station -- in 5 - 10 seconds think we had already ascended a good 150'-200'. The way up you can see down the bottom of clear, still mountain lakes. Couldn't believe that one could see fish a good 20-30' deep in the lakes at least. I need to visit it again. We North Americans are blessed with such spectacular natural beauty. Our two countries' national parks touch the hearts of men and inspire the creativity of writers (authors Pierre Berton "The National Dream" or Jack London and his book "Call of the Wild") and filmmakers (think the Dante's Peak). If I could be reborn onto earth a thousands times I'd probably always pick the Americas and most times out of that our beautiful, resplendent, rich, nurturing, biologically megadiverse continent. Where else does one see such a complete representation of Tundra, prairies, mediterranean climates & pretty much every other type climate on earth is seen somewhere here continent.
I'm beginning to see now why early American setlers anthropomorphized North America as the beautiful Colombia -- a virtuous and beautiful lady who nourishes all who inhabit her shores. Can't believe I'm getting teary eyed describing a continent. Jasper is such a splendid example of the immaculate beauty. ❤❤
That was an elk. Smaller than moose, but much bigger than white tail or black tail deer.
It’s an elk making that weird noise that you thought was a deer
Not sure if someone else said what kind of deer that was - it's a Roosevelt Elk.
I’m just a typical average Canadian with my Tyler merch on.
I love the shot around 10:45 where you can see a small waterfall running into a larger one. Never saw that before.
You really need to leave your studio and come to Canada to see some of these places!
You should react to eating Canadian foods. Poutine, Tourtière, chevaline, creton, and a Montreal smoked meat sandwich.
Tourists, understand these are all HIGH altitude places, so the air is thinner, oxygen levels lower, and temperature is not going to be always warm.
For people who have lung issues, remember this.
The lakes are ICE fed, colder than you think. People have died from the shock, so don't just jump in. Boating is much safer.
Winter is quieter, skiing, heli-skiiing, snowboarding, cross country skiing are common in Jasper.
NEVER, EVER try to approach or feed the wildlife. This is NOT some version of a zoo or Disneyland. The animals will charge, attack.
Tops of the mountains are much colder, especially because of the winds. Bring a warm coat, sweaters won't keep you warm.
