I'm sure there's tons of fish in those lakes, I've found fish in the mountains in more remote places with a lot less water. I personally stopped fishing in the Rockies, as you cannot keep the fish (99.9% of the time) and in the backcountry its a huge risk with predators.

@@andrewfreed4037 this one in the rain is definitely my least favorite! I don’t think the fires turned up the valleys in Jasper they kind of stayed alongside the Athabasca River. Will find out next year, Parks refused me entry to film just to look at campgrounds. 💁

@EricTremblayAdventures in the rain very understandable 😅. Thats good to hear, it was a saddening turn of events and hopefully we can enjoy them next year.

@@campingboy9213 it’s a great hike with awesome views, but you can keep this one as plan B, it’s not popular due to its difficulty level.

@@EricTremblayAdventures I'm new to backpacking. I did Glacier Lake and because of the forest fires I travelled to Vancouver Island and managed to sneak in another overnight. I was surprised at how quickly everything booked up. I'm already researching next years trips. I was at Wilcox campground the night they evacuated Jasper. I will be back. Its a stunning part of the world. Thanks for all your reviews. they are very helpful. Cheers

@@campingboy9213 you’re welcome! If you need more ideas for last minute, you can goto David Thompson Country which doesn’t require reservations, just a yearly pass. Lots of backpacking to be done there.

@@s.b.1713 thank you, the list is starting to grow! I post most of my hikes on AllTrails & I think most of them are public

This is actually part one of three! lol I featured Egypt Lake Campground in one video, then this video is for the Egypt & Scarab Lakes. The third video is Mummy Lake, where I did the BC route thru Talc Lake then around Mummy Lake & all the way back to the Whistling Pass. These were all recorded in the same 4 days.

@@abedj1220 not really, they do have a sunrise section now for Parks Canada bus. I would just hire a private shuttle.

@@EricTremblayAdventures Thank you

@@Solemngolem yes they are every where & it’s pretty awesome to find them. There’s a few clips of them in the video

we will be reviewing the changes after the fire of all the campgrounds, I was hoping to do it in October but our last request for access was denied by Parks Canada. We will likely need to wait until 2025.

@@Pappa052 im not sure which regulations you’re referring too… but in general they have so many visitors that common sense seems to get lost in the masses. Some trails are for bikes others are hikers only, some campsites are for tents only, some campgrounds are for back country. It’s all to define what everyone is allowed to do & Parks Canada is basically just following the National Parks Act which are the same rules for all of them across Canada.

@@jasperplace it’s a great spot! Did you get the chance to sleep up there?

This was April 3rd 2021. Seems like a long time ago! ✌

@@TeluguGirlInCanada glad it helps! We have lots of hike & camping ideas on our channel.

@@EricTremblayAdventures sure I will check thank u.

@@alvaroquijano579 larches are best viewed Sept 21 to Oct 15. I would suggest Sentinel Pass, Taylor Lake, MacArthur Pass or Healy Pass.

@@RS-49 thank you! Just share our content & it helps us out. I spend a ridiculous amount of time on my content so hopefully it helps you guys out. This video is kind of a 3-part with Egypt Lake & Healy Pass campgrounds ⛺️! ✌️

@@RS-49 I know! We need to go back and feature some more hikes in that area!

@@gursimransingh3530 you cannot have more than 6 people on one campground. There is not enough space with tents & cars.

yes it was an amazing 3-day trip, had to split it into 2 parts focusing on hiking & one part focusing on the campgrounds.

that one is called Scarab Peak, I seen a trail report of some guys who summit it a few years ago (www.explor8ion.com/2019/09/22/scarab-peak/) and there's actually a heavily melted glacier in behind it with a bergschrund (glacier separation leaving a large crevasse) making the summit a bit treacherous!

@@david_onthetrail hiking this area in the fall would be an excellent larch showcase as well!

@@ParadoxdesignsOrg Actual career paths with the federal government with parks is pretty limited & most of their hires for operations are students. To be honest, the plan is to expand our outdoor information videos well beyond the roughly 40 parks we have in Canada.

Theres not a whole lot to burn on a campground besides trees & the shelters/washrooms. It definitely lost it’s tree cover but a lot of these campgrounds had been clear cut which may have saved the shelters. Either way, I have to return to Jasper next month to overview every campground video I have. I may create one video to update all the Jasper campgrounds.

@@ifishcanada thank you!

@@uzmaali9746 thank you! Just share the content to everyone who asks, it all helps in the end! The content is always ongoing, I already have content for the rest of 2024! ✌️

@@uzmaali9746 yes it’s an easy & rewarding hike for views! Check out our video about Bow Glacier Falls!

@@rowboat1972 you’re running hikers will be fine. There’s only a lot of rocks and boulders if you try to get close to the waterfalls. I would definitely go all the way to the boat, glacier Falls and go as far as your shoes feel comfortable.

This was during larch season, end of September. Hence why the trees are mostly yellow.

@@yourbeautybaby awesome! It’s an amazing place during larch season. I would also recommend Wenkchemna Pass & Taylor Lake in the same area if you have time.

The oTenTik come with a propane heater if I recall correctly. The equipped sites from the two jack main I think are just basic equipment. You likely don’t need a heater in the summer in a wide valley like Banff.

thank you! hope all these videos are helpful! During larch season, I would do Linda Lake #1, Odaray Grandview #2 and Opabin Plateau #3. You won't find any bugs, make sure you're prepared for hail, snow & sunshine. Smoke is every year & varies like the weather, you have no control over it so I just ignore it.

@@carmelahearle957 this is my full time job. I go to places when it’s not busy. Cabin prices vary widely. We’re always safe when we travel and do not need weapons in Canada.🇨🇦

@@ParadoxdesignsOrg I record all my content when it’s not busy, all my campground videos are prior opening or after the season is over. Some content was recorded last year, like all my lake OHara content from last month. I optimize the recording & the release dates now to make sense instead of just releasing videos whenever

@@pell222 I have another video showcasing the campgrounds along the Johnston creek valley.

@@pell222 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXexi5tqn8R9mNUsi=L9QNVikulyX3P_XI

@@reiniersalazar1935 I may have to do some sort of touring camping along the trail at some point

@@juliedo5243 I would suggest doing the alpine circuit, then cathedral basins then lake MacArthur for first timers. You would have seen most of it after that & you can decide on smaller trails next time you return

Thank you! What do you think of Odaray?

@@juliedo5243 you will get the same elevation from wiwaxy gap & all souls prospects. Odaray is nicer during larch season but you also have to get up very early & be there at the crack of dawn to be one of the first or second group on that trail, it has daily limits. it's also less appealing because you go up & down the same path... there's no loop or circuit, like all the other trails. It's also far less travelled & more likely to encounter predators on the move as opposed to other more busy areas. You can also get a very similar view from the Schaffer Ridge lookout, that large flat spot on your way up to Schaffer Peak. I do not recommend attempting to scramble Schaffer Peak.

we have most of these areas showcased in summer & winter!

@@JulietWhiskeyBravo welcome! It’s an amazing place to stay!

@@turkeyaphro6902 thank you! We have hundreds of videos to help you explore the Canadian Rockies!

@@bartveen6038 thank you, we have so many hike idea videos at this point it’s insane! We even just finished reviewing every campground in Banff & Jasper after 16 months. Keep rolling & making videos of all the parks! 😂✌️

@@MisantropoReal thank you, this is an old one & im reminded from Heather about that cold water we had to cross almost monthly! 😂

Glad I can help! We did another video getting really close to the falls (I got very wet!) kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6SYqqZmmNlmhc0si=ofNKVyVwNvP581rw

try finding the video on a different device or browser, it should work for everyone. Not alot left of that old hotspring anymore!
