2024 Jasper Wildfires: My thoughts and prayers go out to the many people (and animals) affected by the horrible and tragic wildfires in and around the beautiful town of Jasper and the areas close by. I am so saddened and heartsick by these events Stay strong and be safe.

Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge: The Lodge did have some damage to some exterior buildings but the main lodge is not affected.
Alpine Village Cabin Resort: Lost 25 of its 55 log cabins
Tekarra Lodge: Lost several of its structures on the property

Thank you for watching the ULTIMATE TRAVEL GUIDE to Banff and Jasper National Parks.
These two parks have some of the most exquisite scenery in the entire world yet they are easy to visit and open all year round.

I have been visiting the Parks since the late 1970s and for about 10 years I worked in the tourism industry in Alberta promoting both of these parks. I recognize my bias as I have a deep and genuine love for the Canadian Rockies. But objectively I think it is clear that they are beyond beautiful.

In this video I visit Banff National Park including the Banff townsite (including the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, Bow Falls, Cascade Gardens, Cave and Basin, Cascade Ponds, Vermilion Lakes, Two Jack Lake, Lake Minnewanka), Johnston Canyon, Lake Louise, Lake Agnes, Moraine Lake, Bow Lake and Peyto Lake. I then leave Banff National Park and head into Jasper National Park and visit the town of Jasper (including the Jasper SkyTram, Jasper Park Lodge, Jasper Planetarium), Maligne Canyon, Maligne Lake, Pyramid Lake, Miette Hot Springs) and then head deep in the Icefields Parkway and visit Athabasca Falls, Sunwapta Falls, the Columbia Icefield and Columbia Icefield Sky Walk.

This is an EPIC journey and if you're thinking of going, stop thinking - just go!

Merci d'avoir regardé le GUIDE DE VOYAGE ULTIME vers les parcs nationaux Banff et Jasper. Cette vidéo explore comment s'y rendre, comment se déplacer, où séjourner, où manger et ce qu'il y a à faire dans l'une des plus belles régions du monde.

Je visite les parcs depuis la fin des années 1970 et j'ai travaillé pendant environ 10 ans dans l'industrie touristique en Alberta pour promouvoir ces deux parcs. Je reconnais mes préjugés car j'ai un amour profond et authentique pour les Rocheuses canadiennes. Mais objectivement, je pense qu’il est clair qu’ils sont au-delà de la beauté.

Cette vidéo a pris plusieurs années en préparation. Il m'a fallu un certain temps (des années) pour monter cette vidéo et c'est parce que je voulais en inclure autant que possible pour, espérons-le, en faire la meilleure vidéo sur Banff et Jasper sur YouTube. Je crois qu'il est très important d'être authentique et cela implique en partie que je visite personnellement chaque attraction. Comme je l'ai dit, cela a pris du temps !

Dans cette vidéo, je visite le parc national Banff, y compris le lotissement urbain de Banff (y compris l'hôtel Fairmont Banff Springs, les chutes Bow, les jardins Cascade, Cave and Basin, les étangs Cascade, les lacs Vermilion, le lac Two Jack, le lac Minnewanka), le canyon Johnston, Lake Louise, Lac Agnes, lac Moraine, lac Bow et lac Peyto. Je quitte ensuite le parc national Banff et me dirige vers le parc national Jasper et visite la ville de Jasper (y compris le Jasper SkyTram, le Jasper Park Lodge, le planétarium Jasper), le canyon Maligne, le lac Maligne, le lac Pyramid, les sources chaudes de Miette), puis je m'enfonce profondément dans la promenade des Glaciers et visitez les chutes Athabasca, les chutes Sunwapta, le champ de glace Columbia et le Sky Walk du champ de glace Columbia.

このビデオでは、バンフのタウンサイト (フェアモント バンフ スプリングス ホテル、ボウ フォールズ、カスケード ガーデンズ、ケイブ アンド ベイスン、カスケード池、バーミリオン湖、ツー ジャック レイク、ミネワンカ湖を含む)、ジョンストン キャニオン、ルイーズ湖、アグネス湖、モレーンを訪れます。湖、ボウ湖、ペイト湖。その後、バンフ国立公園を離れ、ジャスパー国立公園に入り、ジャスパーの町（ジャスパー スカイトラム、ジャスパー パーク ロッジ、ジャスパー プラネタリウムを含む）、マリン キャニオン、マリン レイク、ピラミッド レイク、ミエッテ ホット スプリングスを訪れ、その奥深くの先端を訪れます。アイスフィールド パークウェイを訪れ、アサバスカ滝、サンワプタ滝、コロンビア大氷原、コロンビア大氷原スカイ ウォークを訪れてください。

Beautiful video, but sad to think how much of Jasper would be gone within a month. 😢

Oh wow!! This video is amazing! So informative and stunning photography! The hot springs look so inviting!

Awesome video! As always I pick up on some new things. I've actually never eaten at Lakeview Lounge and will have to give it a try. I also never knew about that Jasper sign! I wonder why they put it out by the East side of town vs South so you'd see it coming from Banff.

Question- What benefits are there to going to the parks in Summer and is it a different enough experience to bother going for someone who has been multiple times? Been twice in May (love the snow on the peaks) and September for the Larch. I want to try it but it's so much more expensive and I'm afraid the crowds will be overwhelming compared to the shoulder seasons.

We are travelling the rockies late September/early October in an rv do you have travel itenary or must see suggestions we have roughly ten days and there is so much to do we don’t know where to start.

We are going to Banff and Jasper in two weeks. I have two quick questions.... We purchased a Parks Canada Pass. Is there an express lane we can go through to enter Banff National Park so that we do not have to wait in line? We will be coming from our Hotel in My other questions is... We made reservations through the Parks Canada site for the bus to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. Our reservation say that we need to get on the bus at the Lake Louise Sky Resort (1 Whitehorn Rd, Lake Louise, AB, T0L 1E0). I heard parking is limited in that area? Do you have any suggestions on parking for the bus to Lake Louise or any other tips to make this bus ride go slowly? I heard it can be crazy during the summer.
