Thank you very much! Yes we were lucky to get away and explore. It was stunning and we only saw a tiny tiny part of the Rockies and the national parks.
Just stumbled upon this video while looking for videos of Banff in winter for an upcoming trip. This is by far the best video I have watched yet!! Thank you SO much for all the little tips and details! They are extremely helpful!
What an awesome video thanks. How beautiful is that scenery. I am so loving this trip. Thanks so much for taking me along. Please stay safe and take care
I was lucky to have bathed in the hot springs pool prior to 1992. You make me very proud and am so pleased you are impressed with Banff. I never been in winter but I think a trip is due, thank so very much!
Oh wow, amazing that you had the chance to do that before it closed down. Such a shame they could not keep it going. I think lots of issues and costs as it had deteriorated forced the closure.
Thank you for such a beautiful video of Banff. Welcome to my stomping ground I have been in love with this part of Canada my whole life. You have done an extraordinary job!!! Showcasing all the beauty it has to offer
Hello! Thank you so glad we did a good job, it was such a wonderful experience, and we saw just a small taste of what this area of Canada has to offer! Desperate to go back and experience more!
Wow! I have seen several films of Banff but none in wintertime. Got cold watching it ! Gorgeous, and very well done. Beautiful lodge, too, and seems like extraordinary food. Thanks for sharing !
OMG...this is just magical snow world that do exist in real, no words - loved its immense beauty.. wooden cabin aftr a long day's journey sounds fantastic & so relaxing.. i wonder how professionally u do come up with ur videos, thank u for a great video 👍👍
You were right, this tour did not disappoint. I've been to Yosemite (CA) during winter, but the views there in Banff seem to go on forever. We bought YakTrax, which are the same as your 'ice-walkers'. Totally worth the money. Honestly, I'm just speechless. Such beauty...majestic is the word that comes to mind, but also refreshing. It's like a peppermint sorbet for the soul. :)
Wow! What a beautiful & magical winter wonderland! I've been to Vancouver which is lovely but after watching your videos I would like to explore more of Canada.
You’ve done it again boys absolutely fantastic. it looks incredible on my iPad I can’t even imagine what it would be like to actually be there . You’ve packed it with so much information and The scenery is just breathtaking. Many thanks best regards from Vietnam 🇻🇳
What a magnificent experience!!! My blanket kept me warm in warm California, as I was with you in your incredible journey. Love your videos ... so beautifully made! Thank you, until next time, be well - God bless you! A California Gramma ♥️
Thank you so much for sharing this leg of your trip! I’ve been to Banff a number of times… it is certainly one od Canada’s treasures❤️ I’ve been to Jasper too… I did the Maligne Lake canyon hike. I’m sure that you will enjoy Jasper too😊
Thank you for another stunning video! The views of the mountains look surreal! It must have been exhausting and exciting at the same time! What a wonderful memory you both will have from this trip! All the best to you from Massachusetts! p.s.:we are having a blizzard here today with 24inches of snow expected so this video was perfect!
Wow! Wow! Wow! Spectacular scenery and lots of information and advice. Love the tour of the accommodations in all the videos, you both must have logged a few kilometres walking. Thank you for posting 🐨🦘🐨🦘😷
It was amazing and yes I think we walked more that trip than for a month at home! You just forget about everything so much to see, it all feels so easy! 😊
That is just so spectacular. Thank you again. Like no skinny dipping though brrrr. Yes I always go to places early to miss the crowds and chatter. Take care =-)
Thank you for sharing this!!!! The scenery was so stunning as to be almost unbelievable. Johnston Canyon looks unforgettably beautiful and your absolute delight to be there was obvious. Looking forward to the next one. Love from Australia.
It was amazing and the Johnston Canyon just out of this world, although in the final trip video we go to Maligne Canyon in Jasper, the deepest in the Rockies and that gave it a run for its money!
Another gorgeous video. We've been to Banff N.P. a couple of times, but in the summer. You wouldn't believe how busy Johnston Canyon is in the summer. In fact, the entire park is crazy busy (rightfully so) and accommodation is very expensive. For mountain scenery, we now prefer California's Eastern Sierras. We can get stunning mountain scenery without Banff's crowds.
Hi Michael, yes I can well imagine summer being much busier, and at Johnston some of the paths are quite narrow so would get very annoying having to pass people all the time. Sounds like you found a new happy place to visit!
Absolutely amazing. The mountains are something that I have not seen before and to see all the frozen waterfalls and the flowing river was remarkable. The trail walks were almost unworldly in their frozen surroundings. Thank you for such a picturesque tour.
A beautifully put together video! We were there for Xmas and new year and did many of the things you did in temperatures around -40°C. We didn't make it to Lake Minniewanka as we didn't trust the road conditions at the time. It gives us an excuse to go back in the summer though 😉
Oh I am glad we missed the -40, the worst we had was in Yukon the week before at -30 and that was pretty brutal. I remember the road to Lake Minniewanka not being too good. Yes a summer trip sounds fun but with that comes many more people visiting. Did like that in winter it was not too busy. Thanks for watching.
I am Western Canadian and lived in Banff 10 years. This is an excellent short introduction to the valley and mountains surrounding the town in winter. I really like the sense of quietness, isolation and space that you conveyed in this video which is so true of Banff at this time of year, judging by the fair amount of snow but Lake Minnewanka being only partly frozen over, it appears you were there in late November or early December.
Hello David, thank you for sharing your thoughts. Nice to hear from a local that we have done a good job! Yes are quite right it was exactly that, I think the 3rd Dec we arrived in Banff.
Oh you guys! It’s even more breathtaking than what I remembered it. You saw different parts than I did. You brought back so many wonderful memories. What a beautiful place in the winter. Must’ve been a stunning hike. The deer didn’t seem to mind you at all. You got some beautiful shots of all the wildlife. It was absolutely breathtaking. The cabins were charming. Thank you so much for this. Can’t wait for the next one. Love from me in California💜🤗🤟🏻😎🇺🇸
So nice to hear that our trip brought back those memories for you. We were in the car and had cars coming up behind us. Wish we could have stopped longer. You are right, just looked at us as if to say. Yes I am eating what do you want? 😂
Hi guys, I am catching up on the last couple of weeks a Videos sorry this is late... every time I think you guys couldn't show me anything more beautiful you always do! This was absolutely stunning! I will say it again you both are blessed to be able to travel to these places and see such beauty in person! Thank you so very much for sharing it with us I truly do appreciate it 💕🙏Stay safe and healthy See you on the next one 😊
These videos are absolutely incredible, so much beauty! Thank you for taking us along. I've always wanted to go to Banff, hopefully before too long I'll get there.
Gorgeous! Super film, so well done! So glad to see you in much more comfortable surroundings! Certainly what I would have gone for. Been to Banff, in the fall which is lovely, the snow would be an added bonus, but for brave outdoor enthusiasts this would certainty be an amazing adventure. I think you guys were quite brave! Having survived many a Northern US winter, it can be brutal - I think you were def blessed with good weather. (knowing what it can be like!) A good film for locals, too!
We were indeed blessed with good weather most of the time there. Banff is certainly easier to visit than the Yukon but the piece and quiet of the Yukon was very special. Not many places you can go these days and hardly see another sole.
Dziękuję za dzisiejszą wycieczkę. Było fajnie oglądać te piękne widoki i czuć, że jest się z państwem na szlaku. Ja zdecydowanie należę do osób które wolą te niesamowite widoki oglądać na "filmie". Pozdrawiam serdecznie i życzę powodzenia.
Banff is an incredibly beautiful place and I’m going to have to try out Storm Mountain Lodge. Jasper I like better due to less people, but both are fantastic.
Wow! Where to start? So much gorgeousness! The half frozen falls and the lake reflecting like glass..! And of course I loved the log cabin and lodge. My house is wooden and we didn’t use the same technique, bit I recognise it from when we were looking into it all. Absolutely fantastic, and the snow shoe table was such a cool touch. Wonderful video as usual, thank you!
Canmore, Banff and area are beautiful. We have been lucky to visit a number of times over the years in the fall. I would work (as a photographer) The Masters Tournament at Spruce Meadows south of Calgary, then would tack on a small holiday. Going in winter. Well. Although I'm Canadian, I hate the cold and snow. LOL. So I'm happy to just view it through your eyes at that time of year.
Now you're in my neck of the woods. Canada,................................... lol. I'm planning a train trip from Vancouver to Banff, hopefully next month. Not the Mountaineer though. I'd rather spend 5+ days at the Banff Springs. :-) Sleigh rides, Spas, good food, best air in the world.
You should visit Quebec city, in Quebec, for their winter Carnival. I've never been, but it's at the top of my bucket list. I'm staying at the Chateau :-) Fall there is Spectacular.
unbelievable video, thank you so much for putting this together. Can you clarify is the walk to Stuarts Canyon 7ks there and back so the bridge would be around 3-4ks there and back?
At 11:55, in the center, doesn’t that look like a gigantic male figure with bushy dark hair and beard, wearing a cape, crouching down, frozen into the mountain?
Just remember folks... alot of Banff's hotels and restaurants have taken a huge hit and some are even shut down. Please think bout the locals and the tourism and how it effects everyone there. They are struggling in Banff just as much s the rest of Canada dealing with Covid and its hitting Banff HARD. Just a FYI before you start thinking it's some kind of magical place that has not been effected. Stay safe. And stay home.
Thank you!! I'm not a skier and this is exactly what I'm looking to see and do when I visit in March!!
Glad it was helpful! Have a great trip!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,this is my dream destination, you are one lucky guy to see all of this.

You always do such a fantastic job! Thank you for sharing!
Ah 😊 thank you
Wow what stunning scenery, looks beautiful in the snow, reminds me of the dramatic Ansell Adams landscape photography....thank you for sharing ♥️
A truly beautiful black and white winter wonderland.
The cosiness of the log cabin was welcoming.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Colin, yes the cabin was great to come home to at the end of a day!
You were right, this tour did not disappoint. I've been to Yosemite (CA) during winter, but the views there in Banff seem to go on forever. We bought YakTrax, which are the same as your 'ice-walkers'. Totally worth the money. Honestly, I'm just speechless. Such beauty...majestic is the word that comes to mind, but also refreshing. It's like a peppermint sorbet for the soul. :)
Winter wonder land!! You have done it again with a spectacular video of nature's beauty. I love watching your videos.
Thank you so much 😀
The views are brethtaking. Nature shows it's real treasures. Thank you for sharing! I injoyed every minite of the video.🥰😁👍
Thank you ☺
Absolutely beautiful - you have a lovely way of capturing the essence of the area! Thank you!💕
Ahh, thank you that is very kind.
Wow! What a beautiful & magical winter wonderland! I've been to Vancouver which is lovely but after watching your videos I would like to explore more of Canada.
And we only saw just a small part of just one National park in Canada! So much more to see some other time.
It is a very beautiful, diverse country. I couldn't ever live anywhere else.
Wow what a stunning video gr8 to stay away from the town id luv that
You’ve done it again boys absolutely fantastic. it looks incredible on my iPad I can’t even imagine what it would be like to actually be there . You’ve packed it with so much information and The scenery is just breathtaking. Many thanks best regards from Vietnam 🇻🇳

Oh my word 24 inches! Stay safe and warm!
Stunning video, the wiews are absolutely specatular, so sweet the squirrel who ate his lunch, your cabin is so cosy, enjoy your stay at Banff💖💖
Was so lucky to catch that squirrel 🐿 seconds later he/she was gone!

Highly recommend the lodge, not cheap but fantastic and the food was, as I said some of the best we had. Kudos to the chef.

unbelievable video, thank you so much for putting this together. Can you clarify is the walk to Stuarts Canyon 7ks there and back so the bridge would be around 3-4ks there and back?
I think you mean Johnston’s Canyon. The lower falls and bridge are 1.1km each way so under 3 km total. See 1:35 for the map. 👍😊
@@MemorySeekers 12:20 is what I was referring to. It might be Stewart instead of Stuart.
@@samuelsinclair567 Ok got you now, sorry. Its about 4km to the bridge and back. and yes it is Stewart.
Lovely👍..
Just a note, it's pronounced Mt. Norkway not Norkey..🙂
Thank you I always pronounce something wrong! 🥲
@@MemorySeekers Me too🙂
Which month was this video Shot .
It was the beginning of December 21
At 11:55, in the center, doesn’t that look like a gigantic male figure with bushy dark hair and beard, wearing a cape, crouching down, frozen into the mountain?
Oh no I’lol never see anything else there now! Could be Gandalf maybe! Haha
