    This is so gorgeous. Actually, the weather adds to the aura, I think. It's almost surreal. It's always a treat when you are joined by a family member. YOU SHOULD BE DOING DOCUMENTARIES. Noone provides us with an overall picture of places, better than you do, IMO. FANtastic, as always, Josh... 👏🏻👏🏻🤠 🧊

    The areas between Banff and Jasper are some of the most beautiful scenery I've seen anywhere... Spent 2 week in a Camper Van there and absolutely loved every minutes of it. Thanks for sharing Josh! Love the relationship you have with your dad. So special.

    You HAVE to go back as you definitely missed a lot. Have done this incredible drive about a 100 times now and can't wait to go back. This is one of THE most stunning drives and scenic areas in the world. Can't believe you missed Moraine Lake! Thanks for sharing.

    Just wanted to say thanks for that long-distance shot that Pops took of you across the lake at your first stop. I absolutely love it when you get a shot that shows perspective. The prior shot you had of yourself showing those icebergs in the background, they just look like little pieces of ice. 😂 That long shot shows they are humongous! What a great trip. Thanks for sharing.

    My mother, sister and I went there back in the 80s and stayed in our 3 man tent. Heard bears roaming around the campground and sniffing around our tent. Very exciting! Thanks for the memories and all your fantastic videos.

    We were there in July, fortunately the weather was absolutely beautiful. Peyto Lake was actually blue (with the sun shining) an unbelievable blue. We stayed in Jasper and Banff 3 days each, then headed back to South Carolina. Amazing views,amazing everything

    The Icefields Parkway was the highlight of our trip to the Canadian Rockies! You definitely need to checkout Moraine Lake next time you’re in the area! I thought it was even more beautiful that Lake Louise! Looks like you and Pops had a great time! I will definitely go back to the Canadian Rockies for sure!

    Thank you for the all the videos you do!!

    The canadian rockies is an amazing place!! Even when cloudy it looks epic! One stop I'd recommend (and we did it only bc we had a little extra time) is Horseshoe Lake. It's super close to the Edith Cavell turnoff, but on the east side of the hwy. The hike in was super short (10-15 min one way). We didn't do the whole loop, bc we got a great angle from the spot we went to. I also liked Moraine Lake better than Lake Louise, but I think it looked better in the conditions you got it. Thanks for another great video!! Love watching your content!

    Your trip is certainly bringing back memories of when my family visited in 2005. One of the most amazing trips ever. In my opinion Lake Louise is lovely but Moraine Lake is even better.

    • @ThroughMyLens
      @ThroughMyLens  11 місяців тому +1

      I really wanted to visit Moraine but it was non stop rain the next 24 hours and I figured I would wait till I had the best experience possible to see it in the future.

    A few thoughts. You keep filling my bucket list! I'm now adding these locations to the list. I've never been to Canada but this all looks so amazing. Also, you have a really great voice for the narration of these videos. And also, props to Pops, he is awesome! I really enjoy the videos with your wife as well. Keep up the great work!
    Question: how expensive are these locations in comparison with Alaska?

    Absolutely stunning, even in the rain! I long to get up and explore that area too! Will get there one day! Thanks for all the good info! It looks like it’s best to travel south on the parkway than north, crowds, getting to waterfalls earlier, etc. Did y’all find that to be the case?

    I'll start by saying that I've gravitated back to your videos! You guys do a great job. When you surprised your dad with that hotel in Utah, I got emotional (holding my 6 month old daughter) thinking about how much I wish my dad and I did things like that together.
    Now, enough with the mooshy part. I've been to a lot of the places you've gone to. I love Utah, Alaska is incredible, etc etc. I was wondering how this area compared in your mind? I'm heading out there to explore Jasper, Banff, and Yoho at the end of May. Thanks! Cheers.

    @brenda9990 11 місяців тому

    One of my favorite places on earth….the awesome Canadian Rockies ❤ Did you make it to Moraine Lake, near Lake Louise? If not, you missed the absolute best lake in the entire Rockies with views that would take your breath away. I’m so surprised this wasn’t on your agenda.

    Next time you see a small mill next to a pond with 4 feet of head, think back to these falls. There's enough power in that little mill to grind or saw or weave.

    It's easy to take a bad picture anywhere. There is a difference between a picture of a nice thing and a nice picture of a thing. Pay attention when people are going on about pictures. "OMG Teddy, that is such a beautiful picture!" No, it's not. It's a bad picture of a beautiful thing. More often than not.
