Hi Cary - so glad I have found you and your videos. I am new to hiking, of mature age, just moved to Canada and only for a year or two and I want to personally experience the beauty of Alberta. Not only do your videos show the beauty of Alberta, but they also help me determine if it is a hike for me. Having watched this video I am excited for September. Thank you, Cary for sharing
Thank you for this comment as well😁 I am 59 years old so I don't do the craziest hikes out there. I try to do some easier ones and some harder ones, whatever my body will handle🤣 You should wait until about Sept 15 to do this hike. Usually the last 2 weeks in Sept are the best. Not sure about this year as Spring came late in the mountains.
@@LIVEONALBERTA That's what we heard as well about the parking, although we've been coming and parking there for 30 years and have never paid or have been asked to...possibly just incredibly lucky. In 2019 we did 6 Glaciers in July and were escorted and directed to parking spots but never had to get the wallet out. In any event, can't put a price tag on those view! Cheers
The Skoki Valley is in behind the Lake Louise Ski Hill. There are numerous hikes in this valley, usually done as backpacking hikes. They can be done as day hikes though.
Thanks very much for posting all the great hiking videos! Love and enjoy ALL of them! Is there a way to reach-out to you via email, to ask hiking-related questions? Again, thanks a ton for the great videos and outstanding work in capturing the essence and layout of these trails. Cheers!

Just wow
I was totally blown away buy the Larch Trees. I did not think there were so many in this area.😁
I think you just found a hidden Gem of the Rockies! I will have to come back one day and do this.😀 Great video.
Ya I don't think a lot of people know about this hike, which is good. Thank you very much for watching and commenting.😁😁😁
Wow now that is a great looking trail. love the larches and next to no people as well. very nice indeed.
One of my favorite Larch Trees hikes for sure😁
Great video! I'm going to Banff in early October and will definitely add this hike to my plan.
One of the best Larch tree hikes I have done. Thanks for watching and commenting😁

What a stunning hike. I'll have to add this one to my list.
Yes this one should be on everyone's list. Thank you for watching and commenting.😁
Beyond words!..Fairview and this in one day would make a great outing.
Is it pay parking now in Lake Louise parking lot?..heard some talk.
Both Fairview and Saddle could easily be done in one trip. Pay parking was in effect just until the fall, I think.

@@LIVEONALBERTAthank you very much.
@ivyjeansugot1991 You are welcome😁
What the hell is a switchback?
It's when the trail will go right for a while, and then left, and then right, at a more gradual incline than going straight up.
