In the morning we explore the beautiful Pyramid Lake and township of Jasper before heading north to one of the most spectacular hikes in the National Park, the Sulphur Skyline.

Angel Glacier 40:42
Before saying farewell to our friends and Jasper National Park we take one last hike together to the beautiful Angel Glacier near Mt Edith Cavell. Here we take in this unique looking glacier in a stunning setting before saying our goodbyes. As we continue our journey we encounter another Black Bear on our way to the Icefield Parkway.
Join us in our next episode as we head along one of the most beautiful roads in the world, the Icefield Parkway on our way to the Mountain town of Banff. After exploring town and it’s stunning surroundings we head to the nearby Lake Louise and Moraine Lake where we take on the most epic hike of our entire trip, encountering plenty of wildlife along the way (including more bears). Afterwards we leave the Rockies behind and head west back to Vancouver stopping in Yoho National Park and meeting up with more friends!

Thank you, hope you El get a chance to enjoy our other Canada videos too from this trip. All the best!
I will I have been to Vancouver when I was a teen back when we didn't need a passport to cross over from USA it was a nice trip we flew from Birmingham AL to Seattle spent time there went to yellowstone and montana as well @@GlobalTravelStories
I’ve spent some time throughout those places.. sounds like an awesome trip!
Hi there .. great footage and info! Thank you. We're visiting the Rockies for the first time in June (from Australia) and doing a Vancouver Rockies Vancouver loop so your videos are super helpful! The lake you show around 28mins into the clip, where is that please?
Hey I’m glad you enjoyed the video, our episode after this was the Rockies, which is personally my favourite video from Canada so check that out too!
At 28 mins it shows Kamloops but I think you might be referring to around 26mins which is Joffre Lakes (I wrote the location of each place as we arrive if you’re not sure whether it’s the right one). I would highly recommend Joffre Lakes and as mentioned in the video make sure you book on the website in advance to get a parking spot. Have an awesome time!!
nice work guys! Beautiful sceneries everywhere in the rockies.
Thank you, almost finished our next episode which will feature Banff National Park! 😃
Hello, I am driving from Jasper to Whistler week after next. People have said to avoid Kamloops, but I’ve never been. It would be just a one night stop. Thoughts please? Thank you.
Hi, not sure why they said to avoid it, wasn’t a terrible place from what we saw, there just wasn’t much there. So if you are just staying the night to break up the journey then no problems. If you return via Banff it is worth while staying around Kelowna or the lakes down there, very beautiful!
@@GlobalTravelStories thank you.
