- Today we are exploring the Maligne Lake area in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. We chose a trail which is often closed due to bear activity 😬 It was open, but we had our bear spray ready all day! We chose this trail for breathtaking views so let's check them out 😉

The suspenseful music playing in the background while you were walking along the bear trail had me concerned how things might turn out! 😯😯😯 I'm glad you did not encounter a bear!! 🐻
We were concerned too how things would turn out at that time. So good to know we captured the right atmosphere with the music 😁
I'm really enjoying seeing these videos of your trip guys. Thanks for sharing with us.
Yes, for sure! Thank You
We're happy to hear that! There's more to come 😊
Do you know Peter, you have a beautiful voice? Evry time i hear you I think you can read storys and fairies! So beautiful...,
And you both are so lovely together...you are still my favorite couple!!
And yes : fogg and rain are my favorits!
Thank you! Maybe bears find the voice soothing and that's why we didn't see any bears on the trail, because they all fell asleep listening to it 😁
@@tommyandpeter 😂
It's amazing to get to follow with you on your adventure! So much fun seeing bears! And yes, be careful so you don't fall through the snow! It happened to Alex when he hiked, it was honestly very dangerous! 😰
Thanks Daniel 😊 It was fun seeing bears while we were in our car but once you encounter them while hiking it can get scary... Luckily the snow wasn't very deep. We really liked the hike and also the fact that there was nobody around. We prefer to be alone in nature, same as you 😁
Beautiful video - great shots of the bears - stay safe! Love ya💛❤️💙💜🧡💚👬🏳️🌈🙏🇺🇦
Thanks! Glad you liked it 😊
I love you guys, you always make me smile. Eagle Poop haha! Such stunning views, really amazing. The bears were so cool and what a lucky thing to see them. It's like excitement and fear rolled together.
Fortunately as we were sitting in the car, it was mostly the excitement and not so much fear 😁 The views were the best, we're really glad we made it to the viewpoint.
Yes, it must be so amazing to get to see bears!! 😍
We like to sing '99 bottles of beer' when hiking in bear country. Love the video as usual. ❤❤
Haha, that's a good choice! You don't have to think of so many different songs as we did 😃
wow we liked this movie a lot, really spectacular. The free animals in the meadows, the crisp air, the color of the peaks around the valleys, the sudden changes in the weather fascinate. In the midst of so much beauty you are more yourself than ever, free to dream and to fill your eyes and heart with wonder. And then the two of you embraced as you contemplate the truly beautiful surrounding spectacle. hello Roby and Dany
Thank you guys 😊 It really is such a beautiful part of the world, we were enjoying everything 💚
Love traveling with you guys. Peter's deep 'manly' voice practice had me laughing, as well as the critters stalking you. Be safe.
Glad you enjoy the trip! I think Peter needs a bit more practice to perfect his deep straight voice 😃
Beautiful scenery! Glad you weren't eaten by a bear. But now . . . there's another episode of danger! Can't wait until next week's video!
The scenery was just amazing! Who knows, maybe we'll get eaten next Thursday!
Canada has beautiful scenery. Your encounter with poo on the trail made me think they were leaving you message like don't come this way. LOL. You guys are such adventurers. Thanks for sharing as always.
The poo all over the trail did feel like "private property" signs 😃 We're glad we didn't get scared (enough) to turn around and we finished the hike to be rewarded with the amazing views 😊
Love your vlogs. Thanks for taking us on your adventures.
Thank you for coming along!
That was my favourite of your Canadian hikes on this trip so far. The view was, as Peter predicted, spectacular. Then Peter surpassed that claim with his reference to having so many muscles. And now next week we’re promised a bear behind! 😳😜
We're glad you enjoyed the video! We were so relieved when we got to the views. Hopefully next time we'll see a bear back and not a bear front!
I have been in Northern Ontario for 10 days with no signal. I am enjoying catching up with your videos. You guys are so energetic. The shot of the two you snuggling with Malign Lake in the background is very special. Thanks for sharing. ❤
Welcome back to the Internet world, Andrew! With us you can go again to places with no signal 😁 The whole Maligne lake area was special 😊
That was a great adventure. You really know how to share your incredible hikes. Job well done!
Thank you so much, makes us happy to hear that you enjoyed the hike with us 😊😉
I admire your persistence in reaching the top of the mountain to see the lake! The gray bird on the table is sometimrs called a whiskey jack, and we’ve had them steal food right off our table at the campsite.
The only way we'd turn around is if it was getting too late and we couldn't finish the hike before dark. Or if there was a grizzly bear in front of us on the trail 😃 Thanks for identifying the bird. Birds in our country are definitely less courageous.
Once again, you did a great job of capturing the beauty of the trail and the natural wonders. And that view onto the lake! No need to worry about how well you're doing with the cameras. Thanks for sharing this experience with us.
Thanks, we're glad you enjoyed the views as much as we did 😊
Beautiful video and beautiful landscape with the lake in the middle of the mountains. Snow , bear and amazing animals. Enjoy your holidays.
Thank you, we really liked it! It was adventurous to get there but it was worth it 😊
A very interesting hike. You are a truly adventuresome couple! Looking forward to the next episode.
The hike was different than what we expected but we really enjoyed it! We're glad we could make it to the view at the lake.
I have always said that when hiking you should always wear a bell tied to your shoe to make noise and carry pepper spray. That way, when you come across poo with bells and it smells of pepper, it is bear poo.🤣. Love your videos.
Hi David, that sounds very like a very smart idea, haha 😀
What a great episode....I enjoyed your music selections to set the mood! You are in good shape so no others on the trail to spoil the mood....most Americans cannot hike at those altitudes! My family had a bear ouside our tent one night at Yellowstone.....he was trapped and relocated!
Glad you enjoyed it! Selecting the right music can be quite challenging sometimes. It's the same everywhere, including the Czech Republic. We only meet people when there's a parking lot nearby, but as we get father, people start disappearing 😃 We wouldn't want to find a bear near our tent, that's our worst nightmare when camping 😬
Howdy Guyz!! Do you know what bears call people in sleeping bags, "soft Tacos!" LOL That could have been Moose or Elk Poop.
We're glad we didn't become soft tacos on our trip 😀 We looked up the poop when we came back and it looks like it was indeed bear poop.
I am continuing to enjoy your vacation. 😀 Glad you have the bear spray, just in case!
We're glad to hear that! We spent quite a lot of time carrying the bear spray in our hands during the vacation 😃
Another captivating video. With a good selection of music.
Thanks, we're happy you liked it! Music is an important part to us so Peter always spends a lot of time choosing the right songs.
So nice of You to share this with us. Greetings from Stockholm 😊🇸🇪
Thanks for watching, Jan 😊 Greetings to Stockholm 😉
🐻 'If you go down to the woods today, you're sure of a big surprise' 🐻 ... and it will not be Tommy! 🤪
We'd much rather see teddy bears on our hikes than grizzly bears 😃
@@tommyandpeter 😁
Wonderful adventure, guys. Thank you for taking us along.
Thanks! We're glad you could join us 😊
Absolutely stunning scenery all along the trail! The lake with the mountains surrounding it, just beautiful! I wouldn’t want to leave! So cool that you did see bears and good it was from your car! You guys always do such a good job with your videos and narration! Looking forward to next weeks video! Thanks for taking us along on your Canada adventure! Take care! Love and hugs!
We didn't want to leave either! We feel like days are not long enough for our hikes and we always need to hurry to get back in time 😁 We were very relieved not to see any bears on the trail. Glad you enjoyed the video!
There is an expression in Alberta “wait 10 minutes and the weather will change”. Great video.
@@kathleenchild And it’s true! Thanks 😊
Beautiful video guys! Looks like you are really enjoying yourselves! Can’t wait till next week. ♥️
Thanks! It turned out to be one of our favorite hikes 😊
First thing first I need to tell you the following: guys you have nothing to envy anyone respect to the images that you offer us in each of your videos. I don't know if they are technically perfect but those images reflect the truth. You are true. You don't draw us a reality that doesn't exist.
I really appreciate that transparency and honesty that you give us every Thursday, many times, surely, sacrificing your own interests.
In times when short-termism is a goal you even dedicate time to your suscribers and that make you the special ones.
I value excellence but I want you to know that beyond the perfect balance between light and shadow, the "organic" in pictures, we also value other details that make up the whole.
Kisses, hugs and lucky that the bears didn't eat you in that natural wonder. At least for now. Let's pray.
Hi Liliana, thank you for the kind words. We intentionally want to keep things real in our videos, even though we realize sometimes that's not what (some) people want to see. We prefer authenticity so that's what we want to offer to our viewers as well. We love connecting with everyone through the comments so we thank you for taking the time to let us know what you thought of our latest video every week 😊
Waaauuu what a lovely vlog..As you trail up was kinder chilled kos I feared you may encounter bears but happy you didnt..what a lovely scenery it was...congratulations guys..thank you for tagging me along atleast have seen a bit site of the other world...keep making memories guys..the sky is the limit..👏 👏 👏 👏
We were very glad we didn't encounter any bears on this trail either, although that will change next time 😬 Glad you could join us on this trip!
This looks like the perfect adventure, enjoy boys
It was amazing! We're so glad we could go and explore the Canadian Rockies once more 😊
My friend told us that if we took the trail at Madera Canyon to Mount Wrightson, we could see Mexico 75 km away.. So we started the climb, but we got tired two thirds of the way and came back down. Besides, we had miscalculated. The trail is too long for a day trip, and it was late afternoon. So we never saw Mexico. My friend never told us how we would know we were looking at Mexico. It is the same color as Arizona. We will never know, but it was a fun hike.
At least, you saw the lake.
That sounds like a fun adventure! We've done hikes with views at our neighboring countries but as you said, they look the same so you'd never know the difference 😃
Honey Bee looks pretty tasty, I hope you don't run into a big scary hungry bear.
If that happens, we'll have to let the bear gently down and explain to him that sadly this honeybee doesn't have any honey 😕
I just love you two this was such a fun video. The park is absolutely stunning.🏔🏞🌲🐻💕
Jasper is just incredible! We're so glad we got another chance to explore it in more detail 😊
@@tommyandpeter we have incredible waterfalls/mountains here in west Virginia, USA! Love the scenery!
Oh guys I almost wet myself at the start of your video. Trying out the bear spray. When Tommy said we got the spray in our noses and eyes.
I have know idea who design the spraying system on those can. But I never heard anybody say oh it works great everyone always gets a little on themselves. Even I had the pepper spray come back on me. When I tried it out. Think that was why I found it so funny. When you got sprayed to.
What a great hike you guys did. Sorry you got so disappointed with the scenery. You just had not gone far enough. Then once you got to the alpine part, you saw the lake. It was ashame the weather was not sunnier for you. I bet you would of liked it even more.
Still you guys aways deliver a great video. Can't wait for your next one.
It's so funny with the bear spray! I guess you need to be really experienced to know how to use it properly, but I can't imagine taking too much time to see if the spray can is facing the right way and where the wind blows when there's a bear in front of you all of a sudden.
When we said the hike was completely different than what we expected, we didn't mean it was bad, it was just different. But we actually enjoyed it very much!
@@tommyandpeter oh sorry I didn't mean you did not enjoy it. I was just sorry it was not what you had anticipated. But hay sometimes those are the best adventures. I know for me they have been. Can not wait for your next big adventure.
Wow! What an adventure guys in the true wilderness. To bad it was not sunny all the time by on the other hand it could of been to hot to hike. But when it’s hot bears seem to roam lest and rest in the shade. Have a great week guys.❤️❤️
That's true, the weather was perfect for hiking, especially when you hike up a hill. It would have been nice if it was sunnier while we were on top, but you can't have everything 😊
@@tommyandpeter have a great weekend guys❤️❤️
@@tomcouture4441 Thanks, you too!
One cannot be too cautious when near bears!
That is right and next time you'll see how we will react...
*FANTASTIC* Editing as usual :)
Thank you, always nice to see people enjoying it 😊
Another great video, thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful but also so deadly but scenery is stunning
It really was spectacular! One of our favorite hikes 😊
Fabulous. Stunning
Thanks! We're glad you enjoyed it 😊
I have been to Maligne Lake, but in all the times I have been to Canada, I have never seen a bear. I don't know what I would do though if I confronted one !
That's so interesting! We feel like bears are quite common around Jasper (the town). We, on the other hand, have never seen a moose 😃
You are gamer than I am hiking through that area. Beautiful area.
Thanks Ron, glad you could join us on our hike 😉
i wonder how you learn about your garden while you were so far away? :P
We were in Canada for 3 weeks in July. Peter's parents came to our country house for 2 weeks and their job was to water the garden, pick fruits and veggies and that was all. It wasn't that difficult 😀
We ran into a bear and 2 cubs in a hike near Banff. We just made noise and they walked off. Fortunately we didn't have to use the bear spray.
We've never seen a bear near Banff, mostly around Jasper. Glad to hear you didn't need to use the bear spray although I'd be curious to hear from someone who did use it and how effective it was 😀
Grizzly bears are very dangerous. Their claws are as long as a human finger. Very deadly.
They are, that's why we were quite scared. Bear spray is really important to have and you need to read what to do.
omg, you had to be scared i guess when you saw a bear even from a car. i stumbeled once on bear (mrki medvjed) when i was hiking/camping on velebeit mountain with some friends, whole mountain is filled with them, wolves too, but usualy people dont see them, coz majority of people goes to daily hikes, we spent few nights. they usualy dont attack, unless it is breeding season, or have young or you provoce them ( i am talking about mrki bear, not canadian grizlies lol,have no clue about those and their behaviour), it was near sunset and i needed to pee so i went to pee, was doing my busniess and turned while still peeing and there was mama bear with 2 cubs looking directly at me.. i dont know how in that moment i did not do number 2 instantly. she did not move her eyes off me, i was afraid to move, to make noise, anything coz she had 2 cubs with her, she could think i am threat, she was staring for some time, i was staring at her, forgot i done peeing, i am there standing, waiting for her to or jump on me or leave.. eventually she turned and started to leave, but one of the cubs did not want to go and went into my direction, if i move towards cub she for sure will charge into me, so i decided to go opposite direction of a cub ( and our camp), but cub went after me, was curious i dont know, so i tried to make a distance from a cub, coz i knew she will return to get him and i did not want to be anywhere close, so yeah she returned for cub and left. so i returned to camp, when i got there my friends looked at me with puzzled look on their faces, one smirked and said do i expect some orgies or what.. my flier was wide open and i did not even realised lol.. 2 days later as a group we stumbeled on a male, large heavy male, but it was 3 of us so we started to make nosie and walking backwards, he left his way. it can be scary especialy if you dont know what their intentions are, they are strong, fast, claws can rip you off, and if bear is having bad day, is in pain or grumpy coz of some reason it can end bad even thou you do nothing. but i think animals sense who can be treath and who is not. but problems with some bears is if they feed once on human, they start to see them as prey, as food, so they will atack every time they see human. there was a case in 60ties i think in croatia about a bear who chased and killed few people until it was caught and shot. he did not chase anything else except humans, coz of some reason it switched to humans as a food source and was entering villages...
It can be very dangerous to come in between a mama bear and her cubs. So cool and scary at the same time that you had an ecnounter with a bear. In Canada it is quite common and there are instructions written everywhere, you also definitely should carry bear spray, it's very normal there. Black bears are not as scary as grizzly bears but all of them are quite dangerous to meet of course. Our European bears are brown bears, they can be pretty dangerous too, they are more related to grizzly bears than to black bears.
Yay ! A bear !
Adventure holidays in beautiful parts of the world enrich our lives. Why didn't you guys carry hiking sticks to protect yourselves in case of bear attacks? I love your Canadian trip so far. Thanks for taking us along!
Hi Robin, thank you, we are glad you've been enjoying our Canadian adventures 😊 We don't use hiking sticks and even if we did, it would have been difficult to take them with us on planes from Europe. But we don't think they would be useful against a potential bear attack, all the safety instructions on all the parks' websites always mention bear spray - that is the most necessary thing to have.
