Lots of favorites in there. My visits to Southern Alberta have invariably been during October and November, so lots of dramatic weather. Being on that bluff outside the Prince of Wales in Waterton Lakes is quite an experience at that time of the year - the wind is fierce!! I still laugh about seeing a minivan pull up, and as the door slide open the first boy outside had a moment to enjoy his ballcap being on his head before it was yanked off and set sailing to parts unknown. My last visit was not long after the fires, so it was startling to see both all of the damage as well as see what managed to escape the flames (the Prince of Wales being most notable).

As another person commented; you don’t want to miss Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump. The history, culture, and lifestyle of the Blackfoot people is covered in this fascinating building, which is built in increasing levels into the side of the rocks leading up to the precipice of the jump. It’s very impressive because it is operated almost wholly by local indigenous people. The pride the young people take in their dancing brings a tear to the eye. To understand the significance of the millions of Bison which comprised every aspect of indigenous livelihood and culture, and which roamed the prairies and were wantonly slaughtered for game by the encroaching Europeans, is another reason for tears. Despite it all, this place is a beacon for hope.

On the main drag in Waterton Park in summer, it is common to see a bull elk settled down on the lawn just feet from the sidewalk. Being massive in size, [ weighing 392 - 1029 lbs.] sporting a huge rack of antlers, they don't seem to scare stupid tourists who approach them as if they are tame. It adds excitement to their vacation being nearly gored or stomped to death. Enjoyed your travelog. Thanks.

12:58 don’t forget to check out the High Rockies pass trail when you’re out in K-Country. It’s a multi use circuit trail that traverses through the valley and connects to a lot of amazing trails with plenty of day use areas. Parts of the trail can be busy but it is plenty big enough (part of the coast to coast trail) that you can avoid most of the people if you want.

Could have done a long detailed Skit on Cypress Hills like the Kananaskis one, they aren't just hills there are many Small Mountains and large hills that go above 750metres and a huge 12km wide by 50km long Forest that just pops out of the badlands like Red Rock which is just 15 minutes away from the Park, the Cypress Hills are like Southern Alberta's and Saskatchewan's own little Appalachian Region. The City of Medicine Hat is also way more beautiful and full of Coulees and hills stretch out the Mid-Size City of about 85,000 ppl including RedCliff and Dunmore over an area that's the size of a more Urbanized Mid-Sized City like Lethbridge&Coaldale (a total of about 105,000) but coaldale is 10km outside of Lethbridge and many Businesses have been built in a couple new Industrial Parks between Coaldale and Lethbridge that ended up doing very good and a new Street Light Crossing was built on the Highway 3 Turnoff to the rapidly expanding Broxburn Industrial Park, which makes Coaldale and Lethbridge 5km apart once they move the City Sign and I'm Sure they will. The Indian Battle Park River Coulee trails that seperate East and West Lethbridge are beautiful parks and trails, however I prefer Medicine Hat as you get Coulees and Hills and the best City/Nature walking trails between EVERY neighborhood. It's paradise and 30 mins to Cypress and Red Rock. However my favorite Mid Size Urban City is Red Deer (125,000) and it has a vibrant DT.

There are many other places in Alberta beside Banff and Jasper that are just as stunning if not more with much less people. I can remember the last time family came to visit me and wanted to go see Lake Louise. The crowd and lack of parking lesser the experience like most places tourists hear about before coming to Alberta. Most other places mostly unknown from tourist in the rockies are more enjoyable and just as pretty in my opinion if you don’t mind camping.

Few corrections needed: - Highwood pass not Highland pass. - This pass is also the highest paved road in Canada. - Upper and Lower Kananaskis Lakes are found in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park. The turn off to this park is at the gate where they close the highway to the Highwood pass. - All the bad lands are very slippery and hard to navigate in the rain or when wet.

Thank you... lots of food for thought for a hobbyist photographer from Yukon. I lost much of my mobility within the last few years and can no longer hike to many of the view options nearby. Your video piques interest visiting a new geography that is available within my limitations. I particularly appreciate the 'distance/difficulty' access comments. Not so inclined to travel 2500 km south to see mountains and bears but the badlands and prairie towns are very appealing. I'll be digging in to your video list for more nuggets. Thank you again. Liked and subbed.

If you don’t live in Alberta, you might find it odd that the guy keeps mentioning paved roads… We don’t have provincial tax, so not all our roads are paved. lol.

@@attrell they also don’t handle deer and moose very well. If you are driving in rural Canada, don’t drive a tiny car. Yes they are better on gas but if you get into an accident, you are gone.

You really have an exceptionally beautiful piece of real estate there... Not only in AB, but all over the country - it's absolutely stunning. And what i apreciate even more, is that you're pretty much never interupted by some Billy-Bob trying to sell you some fries with cheese.

Great video on Southern Alberta. Just a friendly add for you about Kananaskis Country. The paved highway pass you referred to as “Highland Pass” on Highway 40 and changing name to Highway 541 at the summit of the pass is more correctly call the “Highwood Pass”. I very much enjoyed you video log and narration . Thanks for compiling it.

This just popped up as a suggestion and I loved it! We visited Jasper and Banff years ago but it's obvious we need to go back. What gorgeous places! When I was a child, I visited Waterton with my parents but would love to go back. (Please note I have paid attention and will go after Canadian Thanksgiving...no thank you to the rattlesnakes!!). Thanks so much for sharing these places with us!

I remember about 10 years ago at writing on stone, i ran around a big bush and looked down, and literally right belowe my foot was a rattle snake looking straight up me looking about as shocked as i was, we both booked it the opposite way and never crossed paths again lol funny as hell, he just about got stomped on by a 200 pound human and i just about took a bite to the ankle lol you could tell he was probably as scared as i was
