Amazing narration. You explained everything so perfectly. Usually I have to see millions of videos to get a proper itinerary. But yours covers everything that I don't have to see another video ❤
I can't thank you enough for sharing this!! I've wanted to do a trip there for a few years now but wasn't sure exactly where to go. Wonderful job with everything! Thanks again!
You are too kind!! Thank you so much for choosing to watch my video. It makes me so happy that you enjoyed it. I hope you do go!! It's definitely a trip of a lifetime!
Beautiful job narrating! As someone who has lived in jasper & the surrounding Rockies a number of times, your trip was a nice walk down memory lane! THANKYOU so much for sharing this! So nice to see others enjoying what will always be “home” for some of us! Btw, loved your “bear scaring skills😂👍❤️🇨🇦
😁😁😁 Thank you!!! I’m so happy one person out there could appreciate my bear scaring skills! 😆 I’m so happy you enjoyed my video! Our trip was incredible and I’m glad I could take you down memory lane…to enjoy it all again! ☺️🫶🏽
OOOOO....this is your calling !!! Don't get me wrong I love your Florida content but you were made to explore & capture the beauty beyond the Sunshine State! I enjoyed this video from start to finish; so happy you shared this with us. I wish I was there it's so beautiful!!! The skybridge I don't know about lol but the tower...definitely!!!! Love the revolving restaurant! If you decide to visit Dubai, Japan or Australia one day....I'm all in lol!!!!
Awww….thank you so much! This is the direction we would like to take the channel…we’re planning on adding more adventures outside of the sunshine state this year! So, keep an eye out! ☺️ We do have a short list of places we want to go. Next in 2026 we’re heading back to Iceland, then hopefully, Japan, Scotland, Norway…I love creating itineraries! I think I might make them as a downloadable for people to use as they plan their trip. I would also LOVE to go to Australia and New Zealand! Hopefully, the budget will allow more travel in the future as we continue to grow.
Hi Chrissa! I have to admit I was sad to reach the end! What a beautiful trip and one that we’ve now added to our bucket list! We certainly appreciate the itinerary! Can’t wait to try this ourselves. Thanks so much for sharing your delightful experiences!
I just returned yesterday from the same trip. There's so much to see there. It was a life changing trip for me. Brought me to tears at each stop. I'm planning my return trip so I can follow Chrissa's itinerary 😊 You will not regret this trip!!!
What a spectacular sceneries.. well done videos.. we're set up for long drive travel from Vancouver my home place to Banff this coming mid August ..Watching this made me so excited but sad about the fire in Jasper we cancelled our hotel ..Hoping Jasper and its community will get over this tragedy as soon as possible !
Thank you so much! I hope you have a great trip! I,too, am so sad about the fires in Jasper. My heart goes out to them, and will keep them in my thoughts.
I visited Banff/Jasper in September 2023, and watching your video brought back so many memories! You captured some spectacular shots and I really like your film style! Looking forward to more videos.
Those Mountains & Waterfalls so beautiful. Breathtaking views from the bridges. So many places to stop and see, good thing you decided to get your own vehicle. Amazing it looks like you had no one around you at many stops. The glaciers glass floor was amazing. How lucky to be only ones on it. The color of each lake is beautiful. Great video !! Glad your ankle was good enough to do the Golden SkyBridge.
Beautiful isn't it! Spent a full week in Banff as a business team retreat, we exceeded our past year goals. God's country as the locals would say. Thanks for the special memories. Cheers from sunny Florida.
Hey Philthy!! ☺️ It was just beautiful. We had so much fun putting this video together and reliving this entire trip. The most difficult part was trying to narrow down what footage to use because it was all so stunning!
You two got the essence of Banff & Miss Vicki's chips, my fave is smokehouse BBQ. Curious of all the places is there a Canadian connection? BTW, nice to see you out of your zone...
@@miszced Aw, thank you!! 💛 We don’t have any connections in Banff. It’s just always been on our bucket list of places to see. We have a short list of our next adventures, and we try to choose one from that. Lol…we tend to choose, mountainous adventures. Probably because we don’t have any here, so it’s something different.
Thank you!! It truly was an incredible trip! It was so difficult to choose what footage to use…but going back and watching it all was really fun to relive.
That was a great video, I have been in the Rockies 3 or 4 time,with stops along the way like you. I am 80 and travel in a small motorhome, I will leave PA. in a month and drive to the Calgary Stampede and then up to the Rockies. I was there 21 years ago with my husband on our way driving to Alaska. Thank you, I enjoyed your trip. Sincerely, Anita
This was such a well-done video, capturing wonderful pictures along the way. I actually took notes as I am planning this trip this fall with Teton, Yellowstone and Glacier added to our trip.
@@ChrissaTravels Oh how fun, hopefully, your video will be out before we depart, we can always use the inspiration of someone who has been there before.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful vacation!! I am traveling to Calgary for a wedding at the end of August this year. I am looking forward to driving up to see Banff. I will not be there long enough to go up to Jasper, but your video has given me the places that I definitely hope to see while I am there. It was great to see how the weather was and gave me a heads up for being prepared for some cold weather too😍💗
An amazing post and thank you for taking us! At 11:20 I wonder how you got that shot off the back of the boat? It doesn't look like you are holding a selfie stick which is good cause it would prob be at the bottom of the lake. Best, from Colorado!
Thank you so much!! It is a selfie stick! It's the invisible selfie stick for the Insta360. I was holding on to it really really tight to make sure it didn't drop into the lake!! lol.
@@brucegreenwood7768 Jesus Christ is the true God, the one and only way to heaven. He paid your eternal penalty by dying on the cross for your sins because the wages of sin is death.
We did a two week trip from Calgary to Vancouver (including Van Island) - What an adventure! Covered most of your locations, plus others - Loved your video! Cheers from the UK
Right?! It was soo incredible!! Even more beautiful in person...just when you think it won't get any more beautiful than this...you head to your next location! It was amazing!
Thank you so much!! Those overhead shots were captured with the Insta360 paired with an invisible selfie stick! They are so great because you can capture everything around you and then just grab the angle you need later while editing.

Thank you so much! The charging network wasn’t too bad! When we picked up the car, our agent told us that there was a charging point at Canmore and another one in Jasper. So, just make sure to have enough charge before heading up the Icefields Parkway. But, we didn’t have any trouble with it while we were there!
Your video is one of the best as it is down to earth and just sharing your wonderful experiences. The scenes are gorgeous. My husband and I want to go there in a couple of years. We're heading to the US Rockies next year. I have to ask about your car. We drive an EV. Was charging ever an issue for you, or handing the steep grades of the mountains (lowering the range)? Thanks.
Canada is a beautiful place. I am grateful that this is only a 3.5h drive from where I live. You must come back when forest fire smoke doesn't dull down the views. If you do return to Jasper, you should go up to Edith Cavell!! It is a fantastic experience that will be remembered for a lifetime! FYI (maybe leave the drone at home. It is illegal in national parks, and the fine is $25,000!! Eek!! ) They do actually charge people. For anyone asking when to go: high season is basically from the May long weekend through the labour day weekend. If you have kids, I would book later in the summer when the sun sets at a more reasonable hour
Hey there! Thank you so much for the recommendations and for watching! I’ll have to keep that in mind if we ever do plan a return trip. We loved Jasper, so I’ll make sure to keep a note about Edith Cave. Sounds right up my alley! We didn’t bring a drone. What you may have thought were drone shots were actually coming from our Insta360 X3 on an invisible selfie stick. You can see me carrying it in the background of several shots like at 12:47 , 21:07 and at 20:40 you can see it in the reflection of the skywalk. We do love that it gives you drone-like shots…without a drone.
Hi there! I can totally understand the feeling! We worried about the same thing. But our Hertz agent let us know that there is a super charger in Canmore and another one in Jasper. As long as we were fully charged when we made our way up the icefields parkway we would be fine! We didn’t have any issues while we were there! I hope you have an incredible time!!
Hi Carmen! We went the last week of August, 2023! I hope you do go…it is just stunning there…even more beautiful in person, if you can even believe it! ☺️
High season runs from mid-June through to the end of the labour day weekend. Book well ahead of time, especiallyif your trip includes a weekend. Things get much quieter after Thanksgiving, and that's when some roads get closed due to snow at higher elevations.
Hi. Thanks for sharing your trip. We are going this August, cant wait! The Maligne Lake Cruise was it at 0900 hrs (9 AM)? Looks like it’s the first possible time…
Thank you so much! We used a few cameras on this trip. Our main ones were the DJI Pocket 2, the Insta360 x3 (for the 360 shots), and the insta360 GO as our action camera. Oh, and we used our iPhone a lot, too! ☺️ I hope this helps!
We visited in 2018 - I've seen beetle damage to the trees on Spirit Island since, but they now look as if they have recovered. A bit confused, as I was told that recovery was not possible. Did you visit pre-2018?
Hi, a random question from a clueless Aussie. You chose a Tesla as your drive car, how was the charging stations and were you concerned with the mileage travelled each day? Beautiful video and images from this Canada trip, you have helped us decide on an itinerary.
Hi there! Thank you so much! I’m happy you enjoyed the video! When we picked up the Tesla, our Hertz agent told us that there was a super charger in Canmore and then another one in Jasper. So, as long as we had it fully charged before heading up the Icefields Parkway that we’d be fine. Plus, when you put in your destination in the Navigation system it told you how much of a charge you would have left by the time you made it to your destination. So, we knew if we had enough charge to make it there and back or if we had to top it off. Overall, we didn’t have any trouble! ☺️ I hope you have an incredible trip!!
Thank you so much! We used several cameras on this trip. Mostly the Insta360 X3, the Insta360 Go, DJI Pocket 2, a couple of iPhones, as well as a Canon EOS R.
Hi there! Thanks for sharing, it is helping me a lot! Please, what was the parking lot used at Lake Louise? I was researching and found the Park and Ride, but I think it is far from the lake to go on foot. I'd like to be at the lake at sunrise as you guys did :) Thank you!
Hi there! Thank you so much! I’m so happy our video could help you plan. If you put in Lake Louise in your GPS, it’ll take you straight to the parking lot. You’ll start to see signs as you get closer.
@@ChrissaTravels great thanks! I saw in the video it was hard to secure a spot, so I’m assuming there is no reservation. Two remaining questions: 1 - is there a fee in this parking lot you guys used? 2 - to get the shuttle to lake Moraine did you drive to park and ride and got a shuttle from there? Tks again :)
@@gallegospam yep! There was a fee. I think it was $15-20? I can’t quite remember, so don’t quote me on that. And yes, we had noon reservations on the park and ride, so we just headed to the park and ride parking lot afterwards, and took the bus to Morraine Lake
great video! I will be following your itinerary. Just want to ask if you guys didn't have a hard time charging your Tesla going to Jasper and back. I am thinking of renting a Tesla but just want to make sure charging on the way will not be a hassle. Thank you again for your wonderful video.
Hi there! Thank you so much! I'm so happy that you enjoyed the video. We didn't have any issues with the Tesla on our trip. When we picked it up, our Hertz agent told us that there is a super charger in Canmore and another one in Jasper. There are a few chargers in Banff, but they're really, really slow and difficult to get to. When you put in your destination, it'll tell you how much charge you'll have by the time you get there. So, you can know if you have enough charge to make it to your destination or not or if you have to charge it up. But, as long as you have it fully charged in Canmore on the way up to Jasper, and fully charged before you leave Jasper, you'll be fine! :)
Thank you for the input. I have decided to rent the Tesla and will be following most of your itinerary. It’s unfortunate that we’ll only be there for 5 nights so I have to prune the stops.
Thank you so much!! ☺️ I am so excited for you!!! It was incredible. We went the last week of August, and the weather was still pretty warm through the day. It was warm enough to wear t-shirts. But in the evening, and when you head to the top of the mountains, you want something warmer…like a jacket at least. I hope you have a wonderful time!!
Hi there! You should be fine in July. We went the very last week of August. But, you may want to bring one just in case…especially if you’re planning on going up to the top of any mountains. It’s warm during the day, but the nights and the top of the mountains tend to be cold.
LOVE this video specially your voice! We are eloping in October and would like to explore the rockies. Thanks for the detailed video, it's helped me make our itinerary! 🥹
Awww!!! Congratulations on your future elopement! I'm so happy that our video could inspire your travels!! I hope you have an incredible time exploring the Rockies!
I hope you get the chance to go! Our room budget was $250-350 per night. A lot of our rooms we booked with travel points through our credit card, so we didn’t pay for them out of pocket. But, I looked up the cost for them later, and they ranged in the $250-350 area.
We saw plenty of RVs heading up the Icefields Parkway, so I can’t see why not! Just make sure that your tank is filled up before the drive because there aren’t any gas stations along Icefields Parkway and cell service was spotty. Have a wonderful time!!
Thank you!! I’m so happy you enjoyed it. To be honest, we paid for most of this trip with credit card points. The car and the hotels were all paid for with points. So, it wouldn’t be the best representation of the costs. We did pay for the food, experiences and plane tickets. I think our out of pocket costs were just under $2,000 with our plane tickets included.
Hi Erica! Thank you so much! 🥰 We used quite a few cameras for this trip. Our main ones were the DJI Pocket 2, Insta360 X3, and Insta360 GO. We also used our phones quite a bit too for impromptu shots. We edited this on Adobe Premiere Pro and used Adobe After Effects for the day # animations. Let me know if you have any other questions! ☺️
@@ChrissaTravels thanks for your response. We are going to be doing a very similar road trip in September. Looks like i need to invest in a couple of those cameras you mentioned. Once again well done on an awesome and informative video. Cheers!

Besides the tour , One thing which I really found good is sharing the date of visit. That gives you a good idea to plan travel time.
I completely agree! That’s why I made sure to say in the very beginning of the video that we took our trip in August of 2023 ☺️

❤❤❤❤
Thank you!! ☺️🫶🏽
We are taveling soon and this is very informative clip. Thank you :)
Thank you so much for watching! I hope you have an amazing trip!
Amazing video
You are too kind! Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
@@ChrissaTravels my pleasure
Beautiful trip. Do you had to do any advance booking? e.g. Gabdola or Shuttle etc.?
Hi there! Yes, we had advanced tickets for the gondola and the Moraine Lake shuttle since there was limited space on both!
BEAUTIFUL 😊
THANK YOU !!!
🇺🇸🇷🇸🇨🇦
Thank you so much for watching!
Your video is one of the best as it is down to earth and just sharing your wonderful experiences. The scenes are gorgeous. My husband and I want to go there in a couple of years. We're heading to the US Rockies next year. I have to ask about your car. We drive an EV. Was charging ever an issue for you, or handing the steep grades of the mountains (lowering the range)? Thanks.
excellent video, enjoyed a lot
Thank you so much! ☺️
this is a great place
I agree!
Canada is a beautiful place. I am grateful that this is only a 3.5h drive from where I live. You must come back when forest fire smoke doesn't dull down the views. If you do return to Jasper, you should go up to Edith Cavell!! It is a fantastic experience that will be remembered for a lifetime! FYI (maybe leave the drone at home. It is illegal in national parks, and the fine is $25,000!! Eek!! ) They do actually charge people.
For anyone asking when to go: high season is basically from the May long weekend through the labour day weekend. If you have kids, I would book later in the summer when the sun sets at a more reasonable hour
Hey there! Thank you so much for the recommendations and for watching! I’ll have to keep that in mind if we ever do plan a return trip. We loved Jasper, so I’ll make sure to keep a note about Edith Cave. Sounds right up my alley!
We didn’t bring a drone. What you may have thought were drone shots were actually coming from our Insta360 X3 on an invisible selfie stick. You can see me carrying it in the background of several shots like at 12:47 , 21:07 and at 20:40 you can see it in the reflection of the skywalk. We do love that it gives you drone-like shots…without a drone.
Great storytelling, Chrissa.
Thank you so much! :)
The Google Earth views are very helpful. Thanks!
I'm so happy to hear this! I always appreciate a good map to know where things are so had to add one in!
How was the charging spots ? Is there enough superchargers along the trip ? (Range anxiety), thank you !
Hi there! I can totally understand the feeling! We worried about the same thing. But our Hertz agent let us know that there is a super charger in Canmore and another one in Jasper. As long as we were fully charged when we made our way up the icefields parkway we would be fine! We didn’t have any issues while we were there! I hope you have an incredible time!!
Can you please let me know what time of year was your trip? We’re planning on going thank you for your wonderful videos 😊
Hi Carmen! We went the last week of August, 2023! I hope you do go…it is just stunning there…even more beautiful in person, if you can even believe it! ☺️
High season runs from mid-June through to the end of the labour day weekend. Book well ahead of time, especiallyif your trip includes a weekend. Things get much quieter after Thanksgiving, and that's when some roads get closed due to snow at higher elevations.
I think that prairie dog male loved you 😂❤
lol...right?? He wasn't too fond at first, but he warmed up to us!
Hi. Thanks for sharing your trip. We are going this August, cant wait! The Maligne Lake Cruise was it at 0900 hrs (9 AM)? Looks like it’s the first possible time…
I believe so!! I didn’t have it pre planned, so I can’t go back to my itinerary and look, but I am pretty sure it was the 9 am one.
Amazing video to show the true Canadian gem. BTW, can you please share which camera gears did you use?
Thank you so much! We used a few cameras on this trip. Our main ones were the DJI Pocket 2, the Insta360 x3 (for the 360 shots), and the insta360 GO as our action camera. Oh, and we used our iPhone a lot, too! ☺️ I hope this helps!
You had the perfect Moraine Lake conditions - Try the Yoho National Park from Field next time. My best photography was taken from Emerald Lake, Yoho.
We’ll definitely have to add that to the list for the next trip! I bet your photos from that trip were incredible!
We visited in 2018 - I've seen beetle damage to the trees on Spirit Island since, but they now look as if they have recovered. A bit confused, as I was told that recovery was not possible. Did you visit pre-2018?
Hi, a random question from a clueless Aussie. You chose a Tesla as your drive car, how was the charging stations and were you concerned with the mileage travelled each day? Beautiful video and images from this Canada trip, you have helped us decide on an itinerary.
Hi there! Thank you so much! I’m happy you enjoyed the video! When we picked up the Tesla, our Hertz agent told us that there was a super charger in Canmore and then another one in Jasper. So, as long as we had it fully charged before heading up the Icefields Parkway that we’d be fine. Plus, when you put in your destination in the Navigation system it told you how much of a charge you would have left by the time you made it to your destination. So, we knew if we had enough charge to make it there and back or if we had to top it off. Overall, we didn’t have any trouble! ☺️ I hope you have an incredible trip!!
@@ChrissaTravels thank you great info
@@ricksullivan6395 my pleasure! Have a wonderful trip! ☺️
Awesome video 🙏thank you for sharing, what camera did you use?
Thank you so much! We used several cameras on this trip. Mostly the Insta360 X3, the Insta360 Go, DJI Pocket 2, a couple of iPhones, as well as a Canon EOS R.
لقطات وصور جدآ جميلة 🌹🐠❤️
Thank you so much for watching! ☺️
what month did you visit? I really want go there with my family..its in my bucket list
I hope you do! We went the last week of August! ☺️
Hi there! Thanks for sharing, it is helping me a lot! Please, what was the parking lot used at Lake Louise? I was researching and found the Park and Ride, but I think it is far from the lake to go on foot. I'd like to be at the lake at sunrise as you guys did :) Thank you!
Hi there! Thank you so much! I’m so happy our video could help you plan. If you put in Lake Louise in your GPS, it’ll take you straight to the parking lot. You’ll start to see signs as you get closer.
@@ChrissaTravels great thanks! I saw in the video it was hard to secure a spot, so I’m assuming there is no reservation. Two remaining questions: 1 - is there a fee in this parking lot you guys used? 2 - to get the shuttle to lake Moraine did you drive to park and ride and got a shuttle from there? Tks again :)
@@gallegospam yep! There was a fee. I think it was $15-20? I can’t quite remember, so don’t quote me on that. And yes, we had noon reservations on the park and ride, so we just headed to the park and ride parking lot afterwards, and took the bus to Morraine Lake
great video! I will be following your itinerary. Just want to ask if you guys didn't have a hard time charging your Tesla going to Jasper and back. I am thinking of renting a Tesla but just want to make sure charging on the way will not be a hassle. Thank you again for your wonderful video.
Hi there! Thank you so much! I'm so happy that you enjoyed the video. We didn't have any issues with the Tesla on our trip. When we picked it up, our Hertz agent told us that there is a super charger in Canmore and another one in Jasper. There are a few chargers in Banff, but they're really, really slow and difficult to get to. When you put in your destination, it'll tell you how much charge you'll have by the time you get there. So, you can know if you have enough charge to make it to your destination or not or if you have to charge it up. But, as long as you have it fully charged in Canmore on the way up to Jasper, and fully charged before you leave Jasper, you'll be fine! :)
Thank you for the input. I have decided to rent the Tesla and will be following most of your itinerary. It’s unfortunate that we’ll only be there for 5 nights so I have to prune the stops.
What time of year did you do this? It was beautiful!
Thank you so much! ☺️ We went the very last week of August!
Love this! currently researching for my trip in September, so excited! what month were you there and how was the weather/temperature?
Thank you so much!! ☺️ I am so excited for you!!! It was incredible. We went the last week of August, and the weather was still pretty warm through the day. It was warm enough to wear t-shirts. But in the evening, and when you head to the top of the mountains, you want something warmer…like a jacket at least. I hope you have a wonderful time!!
Hey ! We are planning to visit with n July.was it a cold season when u went there ? You need have a jacket ?
Hi there! You should be fine in July. We went the very last week of August. But, you may want to bring one just in case…especially if you’re planning on going up to the top of any mountains. It’s warm during the day, but the nights and the top of the mountains tend to be cold.
Thanks you ❤
I’m happy you enjoyed it!
excellent video
I appreciate it! ☺️
LOVE this video specially your voice! We are eloping in October and would like to explore the rockies. Thanks for the detailed video, it's helped me make our itinerary! 🥹
Awww!!! Congratulations on your future elopement! I'm so happy that our video could inspire your travels!! I hope you have an incredible time exploring the Rockies!
We had the worst wildfires in history in summer 2023, as you can see by the orange skys When it’s clear everything looks like a jewel.
I could only imagine! It was still really beautiful regardless!
What time of the year did you visit? Looks quite foggy
that was smoke
This would be my dream family vacation. How much did you spent on rooms ?
I hope you get the chance to go! Our room budget was $250-350 per night. A lot of our rooms we booked with travel points through our credit card, so we didn’t pay for them out of pocket. But, I looked up the cost for them later, and they ranged in the $250-350 area.
What time of year did you do the trip? Thank you
Hi there! We went during the last week of August, 2023.
Is an RV safe to take on this trip or are the mountain roads too much for such a thing?
We saw plenty of RVs heading up the Icefields Parkway, so I can’t see why not! Just make sure that your tank is filled up before the drive because there aren’t any gas stations along Icefields Parkway and cell service was spotty. Have a wonderful time!!
thank you so much for this it's very informative. Can you please give me an idea how much it cost you with this trip. Thank you. :)😃
Thank you!! I’m so happy you enjoyed it. To be honest, we paid for most of this trip with credit card points. The car and the hotels were all paid for with points. So, it wouldn’t be the best representation of the costs. We did pay for the food, experiences and plane tickets. I think our out of pocket costs were just under $2,000 with our plane tickets included.
Hi Chrissa ... what camera(s) did you use for this video and what editing software? Its really well done. Congrats!
Hi Erica! Thank you so much! 🥰 We used quite a few cameras for this trip. Our main ones were the DJI Pocket 2, Insta360 X3, and Insta360 GO. We also used our phones quite a bit too for impromptu shots. We edited this on Adobe Premiere Pro and used Adobe After Effects for the day # animations. Let me know if you have any other questions! ☺️
@@ChrissaTravels thanks for your response. We are going to be doing a very similar road trip in September. Looks like i need to invest in a couple of those cameras you mentioned. Once again well done on an awesome and informative video. Cheers!
what is the best time to have a vacation to Canada
