I'm so glad that you stopped into the Banff Springs Hotel. That place, along with the other railway hotels, is a national treasure. I'm loving your videos. Your vlogging style, your worldview, and of course the interesting and beautiful places that you take us to.

The scenery is so spectacular and has a festive feel to it. What a posh hotel that was! I enjoyed having a look around there.

What a beautiful place!! And that hotel was really majestic! It had some similar vibes to the hotel from the "The Shining" movie. 😝Thanks for sharing Gabriel. That was another amazing video! Keep them coming!

I had the most magical experience at the Banff Springs Hotel. I went for an early morning dip in the hot springs pool. I was all alone and a majestic stag appeared out of the heavy mist. Incredibly beautiful!

Johnson Canyon is cool place you could go to. It's a beautiful canyon with a suspended walkway that will lead you to frozen waterfalls.

FYI: That was the Alberta flag

Banff Springs Hotel is historic and one of the most luxurious and expensive hotels in Canada

I rarely comment but this one was a beaut

Reminds me of when I lived in New York and went to Bear Mountain regarding the national park. 😎👍🏻🇨🇦

Gabriel,

Love to see you stay in a hotel like the one you toured; you deserve it!

[TexasDoug]

Awesome! The Banff Springs Hotel was a bit of a bucket list item for me back in the 80s/90s but eventually got supplanted by some other things before I got it done. What an amazing hotel, but a bit more than I'd be willing to spend.

[annieis]

I love your room! Such a cool area... I could live at the Fairmont! I'm so glad you went there... it's on my "list". 💖 I would have a very hard time leaving Canada! ❤🤍❤ Thank you for sharing!!! 😊

Sunshine was where I first learned to ski when I was a kid, I remember you had to get a long cable car ride to the top, and I remember Norquay you were able to do night skiing

Canmore is sometimes cheaper. Welcome to Alberta Canada:)

Thanks for showing the inside of the Banff Springs. Have never seen it decorated for Christmas and it’s stunning.
Used to go camping a lot in Kananaskis (Mount Kidd, Boulton Creek, Lower Lakes, etc) and we would drive into Banff to walk around Banff Springs then go to the arcade there! Then to Melissa’s Misteak for an delicious steak dinner. Then go to the Christmas Store then to a candy shop for some Tiger Butter (easy to make, Google the recipe)
Cheers
Drive around Kananaskis if you have the time.
Many moons ago.

Thank you for todays tour. Loved it! I must say I always wanted to do the Rocky Mountaineer train journey through the Canadian Rockies. Watching your video is the next best thing and I have enjoyed watching the breathtaking scenery through your lens. I hope you got to have a soak at the hot springs, another great video. Cheers!❤❤

Hi Gabriel. A heads up about the aftermarket/universal windshield washer pump. it is very easy to install, only about 10 dolor's. Just buy the cheapest one you can get. The washer pump is about 3- or 4-inches long cylinder with a nipple protruding off the end of the pump that you plug the water hose into. All you have to do is hook up the wire to the pump easy. unplug the small water hose from the water line going to window You should be able to do this with no tools and plug/ push it onto pump. Put 1 screw into the firewall, or double fender, to hold up the pump. ALL DONE

I stayed in the Banff Fairmont Resort back in ‘16. Amazing! At that time they put a live decorated tree in every Hotel room. Amazing resort!

[kmilton]

That is a first in the lifetime of Sunshine Ski Resort: You videoed the Resort, and we never saw a single skier skiing on the hill ! !
