PBS rules! This is amazing and exceedingly well done! Thank you for taking all us to these wonderful places that many of us will never be able to visit .Best, from Colorado!
I grew up In Calgary and my father would always take my family all through the rockies to the different lodges i Albeerta and B.C. Beautiful incredible memories!
My hubby and I are thoroughly enjoying watching this. We live on the east coast and would love to visit the west coast sometime. The whole country is beautiful! Thank you for posting!
Thank you so much for this amazingly beautiful and educational film! I have fond memories of bringing my sister back to Seattle from college in Minnesota back in 1978. She said “can we come home through Canada?” I was only 14 but have good memories of seeing the amazing Canadian Rockies, frozen Lake Louise and the Banff hotel. And riding the scary steep gondola! 😊
Erik, I'm glad this is preserved. Thank you. We had it on disc and it nearly blew up in our player. We love this show so much that we tried to replace it. I went on eBay and they were charging oppressive prices for just the disc. PBS didn't ask for that much for the whole package when it first aired. I appreciate you putting it up. I watch it a lot. Kind of a relaxer.
Thanks and I am glad someone else enjoys it. My wife loved it when she first saw the program and had been looking for it since. I figured getting my ebay-purchased copy up would save someone else the trouble. I guess I was correct--more than a thousand views. All props of course to the original producers.
This is a wonderful look back at the history of the great Canadian railway lodges. (Enter compliment sandwich)…but it makes me think the Canadian Rockies are the little brother/sister of the Swiss alps (yes I’ve been). Why not just go to Switzerland? That said, Jasper and Banff are two of the most breathtaking geographies and we should all be thankful for the preservation efforts of Parks Canada.
Looking forward to watching this with my kids for homeschooling today. I am doing a unit on mountains. Also, am going to be releasing a video about Canada's most beautiful mountains on my channel shortly. I was trying to find the most interesting video on Canadian mountains to teach from today - I think this fits the bill!
Years ago I bought a photo of the Rockies. As I was watching this program I kept thinking my photo on the wall next to me looks like the Rocky Mts in this show. All of a sudden on TV was the MT right next to me. It is at Lake O'Hara Lodge!!! I never thought I would identify the large Mt I love so much. Thanks this is an amazing show!
the President of the Great Northern Railway was a Canadian....born in Guelph Ontario.....he built the Prince of Wales Hotel, and the "International" Boat Cruise in Waterton for Great Northern Railway's "Empire Builder" passengers to enjoy in their trip to Glacier-Waterton International Park....so beautiful
It was filmed in 2004 At least the Twin Falls chalet part and I've been looking for this footage ever since.... I served as the pack mule for all the camera equipment And they were kind enough to let me eat at the table And be on film... It was one of many portering trips I did for Fran that summer Mostly carrying up groceries... good times
"With the the wealthiest people in the world" the announcer states in the beginning of the video. At the 4:13 minute mark, where the filthy rich are being served their cuisine, I noticed something and had to go back and rewatch it. On the right forefront, is a single woman being served by the waiter. She never looks up from her plate to engage the waiter or thank him. The 4:13 minute shows her with head down and eyes slyly looking to her left, watching him out of the corner of her eye, as he finishes serving her. He stands there waiting for a second, for her response, any indication, that she has been kindly served or if she needs anything else. But instead of engaging, she reverts her eyes back down to completely ignore him. She was being served by a "peasant" who didn't even deserve a glance.
Unfortunately, with global warming and recession of the glaciers, the terrain where Abbot was located was becoming increasingly unstable and the decision was made by Parks Canada that the risk to the hut was too great and the hut would need to be removed. This was done late spring,early summer 2023.
I wouldn't pay all that money and have to cook for myself. Silver and gold cutlery , fine china, white linen cloths, wine steward, thee very best wait staff is more my thing.
I would not set foot in Canada again. The people are hostile to out of country plates, the laws are so strict that a foreigner can go to jail for doing something that is very innocent. If you need emergency health care, you are out of luck. Other than that it is a great place.
@@northlander4370Probably only been to Canada fifty times. I sure won’t miss this guy on my next visit. I can’t imagine which laws he’s talking of. Money laundering? Drug smuggling?

Amazing landscapes and a very special history
Greetings from Brazil!❤
I love the delicate Scottish flavour of all these lodges❤❤❤❤❤❤
I grew up In Calgary and my father would always take my family all through the rockies to the different lodges i Albeerta and B.C. Beautiful incredible memories!
I’d love to find more like these. Thanks for sharing it
So beautiful pictures and videos
Amazing place, nature lovers will definitely appreciate and love this video.
Thanks
What a beautiful country. Nice people ....thank you!

beautiful country
It's like living in landscape paintings !

My grandmother was one of the women in bathing suits.
Can you tell us where in the video we can find her?
@@erikrupard9724 I’ll get back to you on the time mark.
cool
Just researching for a future road trip across Canada. It's great to find gems like this. Thanks for uploading.
Ipp,p,pppapapapàp
Love all the elders still working

It reminded me of that horror film " The Shining ".These places had history and wandering spirits you know...;)))
Except that the location for The Shining was Stanley Hotel, Estes Park, Colorado [but I get what you mean].
The exterior shots for "The Shining" were that of the Timberline Lodge, in Mt. Hood, Oregon.
Ah, the many secrets of hotels!
Tu for posting this!!! I watched this on PBS in the 90’s and found it so tranquil and awe inspiring!!
I want to put on my boots and hike at each lodge.

I missed any mention of First Nations in the area.
Yes, that's unfortunate. I grew up in western Canada, and was very aware of the First Nations people as an integral part of the social fabric.
From 2009 - it is available on youtube in the full version and can buy on dvd through amazon
what a dream of silence and beauty from the American society

wow so beautiful place
Thank you.
يا جمال كندا يا للروعة
Documentary sucked me in. So damn comfy.
How lucky canadians are !
The terrain is great, but you have to live in a socialist, lock down state.
Wow! I never knew such places existed! What an informative and entertaining video. Excellent camerawork!
When was this filmed? Beautiful!
It was filmed in 2004 At least the Twin Falls chalet part and I've been looking for this footage ever since.... I served as the pack mule for all the camera equipment And they were kind enough to let me eat at the table And be on film... It was one of many portering trips I did for Fran that summer Mostly carrying up groceries... good times

Perhaps. But it may also have been rehearsed that way.
Why every great stuff is in the English side of Canada?
Unfortunately, with global warming and recession of the glaciers, the terrain where Abbot was located was becoming increasingly unstable and the decision was made by Parks Canada that the risk to the hut was too great and the hut would need to be removed.

The door to Canada was locked when you left ....good riddance !
