The Canadian Rockies are one of the most incredible places in the world 😍

[overwatchxrescue]

These are all some very epic locations! Berg Lake is another one...can't wait for that trail to reopen!

I hv travelled to more than 40 countries in the world, from Asia, Africa, South America to Europe, USA & Canada.

The Canadian Rockies are one of the top 10 most beautiful places on Earth. ❤

Your travel videos always make me feel like I’m there with you. Amazing work! 🎥🌎

It doesn't matter where it is when you look at the mountains and lakes of western Alberta and BC. It's amazing. Waterfall's are so nice to view as well as the color of the lakes. Memories are stored and this is great food for the soul. When you see the land devoid of traffic like it is in the cities where tempers flare in stop and go traffic it actually gives me a sense of peace and tranquility. The mind is programmable and to me this is the best kind of programming available. In a world of evils such as war, evil illicit drugs, murder and crime it's heart warming to view these beautiful lands.

Great video 👍❤

I hv been to Canadian Rockies multiple times, almost annually.
I have been to most of the places featured in your video.
It is the best compilation I hv seen. Well done 👏

I visited Peyto Lake after it was opened in 2023. It was beautiful. They built a large viewing platform & there are 2 good trails to the viewing point. ❤

Nice video. You've definitely hit some highlights. As you noted, you can stop at any trailhead, start hiking, and not be disappointed.
Some other possibilities if you're considering a return trip, assuming you prefer day hikes.
-It doesn't seem that you have yet gone much into the Kananaskis, south of Canmore. Really accessible with a lot of day hikes ranging from just a few miles to 15 miles, out and back.
-Probably the most iconic mountain is Mt. Robson, which is not far from Jasper. But you can make a long day hike out of it, up to 30 miles return if you don't want to camp and you can always turn around before that. You go through an area called Valley of a Thousand Falls; The name is an exaggeration, but it gives you the idea. If you're lucky enough to have the weather cooperate, and you have the legs to hike up to Berg Lake, the view of the glaciers cascading down the face of the mountain into the lake is spectacular.
-I think you liked Sentinel Pass. Come at it from the other side (Paradise Valley). No tourists. And it's magic when you crest the pass and those mountains just appear before you.
-If you're interested in an overnight hike, definitely do Mt. Assiniboine, another iconic mountain. It's about 19 miles in to the campsite from the shortest trailhead. You can also use take the helicopter from that shortest trailhead to get in and walk out the next day, or some days later.


-The Selkirk Mountains on the other side of the Rocky Mountain trench also are worth a visit if you want to expand your vistas.

Oh Canada & Canadian Rockies, how very beautiful and amazing you are. In these times of serious trouble across much of Mother earth, watching you, just lifts my spirits and makes my heart sing. Mother Nature, always has the power to do this to us. Actually, watching this video has just reminded me, about the numerous Indigenous populations across Canada, their long and rich history there & how incredibly blessed, fortunate and lucky they were, to have roamed/walked these parts of the earth and got to call it their home. To think that they've called this global region home, for approx 14, 000 yrs, just blows my mind!! Much love and RESPECT sent their way. Their lives weren't easy, yet, they survived. This upload is awesome and i love the music too. Thank you for sharing and my best wishes to all. Peace

Great video of our fav place on the planet. Appreciate the huge amount of work that has gone into making this highly informative video. Yo got great fall colour. Our personal preference for these types of videos is to have much lower volume, calmer music more in keeping with the extraordinary, serene landscapes. But I am sure lots of people enjoy the pop music you use. Safe travels.

10:50 The new viewing deck is worlds better than the old one. It's much larger, not just in overall size but they've optimized the amount of front railing space so more people can enjoy an unobstructed view.

Tip- Marble Canyon is an awesome easy level hike, combine it with another easy hike at Johnston Canyon for a nice contrast of hiking above the canyon vs near the bottom of it.

The only problem with the Canadian Rockies is that after you go you're spoiled and compare everything to it.

Excellent Video Kevin. Amazing Photography! I took a fairy in Vancouver to connect to the other side, and the mountains were so beautiful. When flying to Vancouver, the view from the plane was amazing. I have a friend who has been to Banff several times. It's on my bucket list for sure. Thank You.

The glacier buggy tour was well worth it

[sonal]

This is the most informative and essential video of the Canadian Rockies! Thanks much for this beautiful content.

[alexrybin]

Man… Your videos quality is top notch. Recommendations are so useful. Surprisingly I don’t see thousands of view. Keep up!

[nateg]

Great list. We just got back from an awesome trip from the Canadian Rockies and saw most of these places. Unfortunately, the Edith Cavell Glacier, Maligne Lake and the 2nd half of the Icefields Parkway closest to Jasper were closed due to the wildfires, but hopefully we will be able to see that on the next trip. So many places it's hard to see it all on one trip. Some other places we liked were Waterton Lakes National Park and the Kicking Horse Resort in Golden BC. They had an awesome Gondola with hiking at the top and a grizzly bear refuge.

Wow….best video I’ve seen of places to visit in the Canadian Rockies. Well done!

[HongNguyen-clyx]

We love your video, and Canadian people

[scottweston]

Great video. And a great selection of some of the best places in the Canadian Rockies. I've done all but one, but also done almost all the major backpacking routes as day hikes and I would sure recommend those (Skyline, Berg Lake, Mount Assiniboine, Yoho Valley, Rockwall, etc). I also went this January and seeing everything frozen was incredible. One other note of clarification as a hydrologist. Rock flour is what's ground off by glaciers. The different water colours are from different minerals.
