Jaw dropping experience. Thanks for taking us with you Cat. And thanks to Joey for the detailed reports and great shots...

[@dutchman6969]

Wasn't this amazing!!! It really was majestic, that's why I went back 4 times. I just couldn't get enough of those Rockies!!👍

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 🙏

[@lesfinch]

Catherine,this for me was your best video yet. So much to take in. I loved ever second of this trip.❤❤❤ happy birthday!

[@claridee0765]

My daughter passed away at 38 on Monday. I always wanted to take her here. We live near Philly and it’s so far. Thank you for this beautiful scenery to calm my heart.💜🙏

[@johnpinckney4979]

Prayers and condolences to you. Make an effort to do the trip. Bring her memory along and share the adventure with her in spirit. God Bless...

[@claridee0765]

I'm very sorry to know. Love from Pakistan to you

[@livingawesome9856]

Sending love and healing your way. ❤

[@dennisyoung4496]

Sorry for your loss. To lose a child even at that age is heart breaking. God be with you.

[@fvsmith]

Happy Birthday Cat! And again, Thank you for the wonderful hike and scenic views!

[@jaynetabb208]

What a treat today! Nearly an hour of adventure with you and Joey. I'm out of exclamations about the beauty of the scenery there. Just beautiful and I'm so thankful for taking the journey with you. I know I couldn't make that trip now but I'm thrilled to witness your journey. You and Joey compliment each other - a great team. Thank you.

[@michaellewis81]

Absolutely loved this video. You and Joey did a wonderful job of filming this backpacking trip through the Canadian Rockies. Great trip to enjoy on your birthday 🎂🏕 As always your editing skills are excellent!! I'm sure you will remember and keep this trip special in your life. Happy birthday Cat!!🎂🏕👍🏞🪶

[@maryhamilton2053]

Cat your trips have certainly gotten much more interesting and grand. Thank you for taking me along. I miss backpacking with all my heart. I’m 66 now and have my concerns about being out too far. Choosing the right partner is #1 of course for your safety. Happy trails I’m right there with you!😉

[@johnpinckney4979]

Mary, I'm 67. And, I just bought another PLB to last me until 2030. I have more fears about being out at night here in suburbia than being alone in the wilderness. I know that I could let my fears control me. If I let them. And, I don't. Yes, I'm careful. That's why I carry a PLB. Please don't let fears keep you from enjoying God's Creation that few get to see. You have it within you to overcome your fears. Giod Bless...

[@deborahharker4392]

What a great friend Joey is to accompany you through such amazing beautiful country. Having a man’s presence way out there sure makes me feel better than you are not alone ❤ happy belated birthday 🎂

[@sacredstonecards9051]

Tears of accomplishment for you Catherine. You are so awesome in overcoming your fears...such an inspiration. Joey was a great camera man and great companion. Beautiful video of places I will never see in person. Thank you very much ❤️

[@joannewinters9616]

[@debiebrumley3104]

Joey is such a sweet soul, and it's wonderful to watch you both enjoy this amazing trip!

[@johnmalenchek6597]

Good to see and hear from Joey. His camera work is always the best. Good job Cat over one tough pass.

[@alejandros7001]

did Joey shut all his channels?

[@sharondavis8003]

Breathtaking month in the Canadian Rockies. You & Joey have shown us incredible sights & sounds of nature 😊 I’ll have a backwoods pizza to go please 🍕Thanks for this awesome trip 👍🏻🙋🏼‍♀️❤️Happy Birthday Cat 🎉

[@JamieMcCracken]

These have been some of the best videos you have produced, Cat! Big shoutout to Joey who was the MVP with the camera! 🏔

[@darrellvann8568]

Thank you so much for the views. I will never see it with my eyes but yours are great

[@dalehamilton3655]

Mr. Coconato is the one who got me hooked on KZbin/backpacking videos, as well as your channel. This video was a great combo of both perspectives!

[@lindawarrell4281]

Living your best life! Hurrah for you and your best buddy Joey! 💜

[@LauraMulder-b9r]

Thank you for visiting my home province and showing how beautiful it is.

[@sandrahoover3127]

Happy Birthday!!! What a beautiful adventure, thanks for the great vistas, so glad you 2 were hiking that Badger Pass and not me. Can't wait for the next trip. And....yes the Canadian Rockies are incredible.

[@lovenature1354]

No one does this type of video better than you, Catherine. It was totally amazing. Thanks for taking us on this adventure.

[@KDbbasm]

Seriously! What a joy, joy, joy it was to hear Joey's voice; I have missed him immensely. I admit I even teared-up with the whole thing, majestic beauty, seeing you both together, hearing him, and every time he spoke to you it was with a sweet caring tone. Not sure if I'm not just getting emotional and sentimental in my old age but this was a Sweet, Lovely video. Joey ...oh, Joey, so good to see and hear you in this video.

[@stephaniedaniels9285]

Thank you for taking us with you!! Spectacular views and soul renewing water sounds!! So nice to see Joey with you as you challenge one or two fears!! Good friends make the journey!!

[@poges]

Nice to see the canyon. I live in Canada on the west coast and have only stopped there once when I was newly married about 40 yrs, ago. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@lisagold8858]

Happy Birthday Cat, What an amazing, beautiful and magical place.Can’t thank you and Joey enough for taking us along with you.

[@CosmicJestar]

Thanks for sharing your Backcountry adventure with us....twas quite beautiful :)

Awesome video. I couldn't have made it without you. Thank you very much

[@tranquillady1688]

Wow! What a truly epic journey. My legs are tired from watching you. Thank you for sharing, I've never seen a more beautiful and amazing view.

[@kw2764]

Day five was quite exciting. Beautiful trip

[@CasperLCat]

That mountain stream and lake water ! I love just knowing there is water that clean and clear, SOMEWHERE.

[@TimIrvin]

What an adventure. I was glad to hear A BIRD at your last campsite! BANFF has been on my Bucket List for 20+ years but it's beyond my reach now. This helps fill the void. Thanks Cat.

[@briantodd4887]

Kudos to you guys! Who wouldn’t like pepperoni pizza with that scenery on a daily basis! I enjoy both your channels- great stuff. Happy birthday! 😊

[@maryjomorra2865]

Having Birthday Cat😊 WOW😍 what an incredible trip that was👀 Awesomely Beautiful🏞 What's stamina and perseverance you have👍 That was an intense hike especially on those rocks😳 You did it wonderfully🤗 Thanks so much for showing us another spectacular place💗

[@WRMRanch]

This was my church this Sunday. It brought me so much joy and relief knowing there are still places like this in the world. I can't thank you and Joey enough. I do have a million questions about your gear, breathing and permits etc

[@Samtzu]

I DON'T sit and watch videos for an hour straight.... I did with this one, though. The Canadian Rockies are breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you so much for this video. I is wonderful!

[@susans8539]

Wow, what a great hike! Banff is absolutely stunning. Sorry for the mosquitoes, but despite them, it was amazing to watch. What a wonderful way to celebrate your birthday. Keep ‘em coming!

[@tomkehrer9899]

Best video yet, hands down

[@robertrhode6104]

What a hike, thanks for the great views and the beautiful scenery. Cat you did great I couldn’t have made it . I think I should stick to truck camping. Happy birthday to you Cat. 🍷🙏🏻

[@marja1112]

Happy birthday ❤. So beautiful, amazing views, thank you Cat & Joey ⚘🙏🙋‍♀️🇳🇱

[@lindasolis7117]

Wow - this country is amazing!! This is almost a backpack trip I could imagine, with campsites, bear boxes and pit toilets! Those steep climbs would sure be challenging, though but worth it. Amazing job on those passes, Kat. And Joey is wonderful- great style, great narration. You work so well together. Thanks for the beautiful video! 😍

[@susansaunders6899]

Happy Birthday! I love that you shared this beauty! Its been a long time since I was In Banff Canada . I live in Utah also and i Am widowed and i live alone I want to hike but i just had both knees replaced and i have a heart condition . Life goes by to fast so never be afraid to follow your dreams my neighbors and doctors cant hold me back. But I can t do it alone any more so its wonderful that you take me along on your adventures! Thank you so much!

[@johnpinckney4979]

I'm in VA, live alone, divorced, arthritis in my hips and knees. The only heart I have left is that which hasn't yet been broken. Fortunately, my doctor encourages me to hike! If the outdoors is in your heart, go for it. Just watch yourself! I'm going to be in the Eastern Sierra Nevada in two weeks...

[@doncanaday6406]

The Canadian Rockies are so massive. Thank you for this video. You let us see sights we will never see in person.

[@susanjackson1458]

I’ve been to the touristy areas of Banff and Jasper, but it’s wonderful to see the back country. Thank you for taking us along.

[@dianegenx]

Wow.. that was the most beautiful hike! Really enjoyed Joey's commentary and conversation with you too!

[@cruznsuzn6644]

[@davek4442]

Happy birthday! What a way to celebrate your special day in the backcountry! This is one of the best videos we seen on KZbin channel. Great photography work and narration. We have hiked some these trails about 7 years ago and it was fun to see the area again. Surprised you didn’t happen to see a bear which is a good thing. I bet you enjoyed your cheeseburger😎. Safe travels!

[@joycejam9198]

Stunningly beautiful

[@superdave1949]

One excellent aspect of your videos I've not seen anyone comment on is your audio editing. You're one of few creators I follow that I can set the volume once and the wild sound, narration, and music are perfectly balanced. Fantastic video, for being around an hour it just flew by!

[@debrabalawajder2617]

That was absolutely stunning scenery. Thanks to you and Joey for doing this backpack trip and sharing it with us!!! ❤

It's the best video ever!!

It's amazing what so many people miss out on, but at the same time I think they are ok with it and so am I.

[@softsound2]

I love how around day 4 or 5, there is less and less need to provide commentary. You just let being so far into the backcountry do the work. A mark of great filmmaking. I can feel how both of you are enveloped by your surroundings.

[@calheritage8953]

Stunning!

[@hewjbacca]

Just got back from a 2 week Alaskan trip, what a thrill, started out in Vancouver BC cruised on a ship to Juneau, AK ! Saw many sites there ,went on many excursions there until we left for Talkeetna, didnt see alot of wildlife, but saw a ton of scenery, unfortunately it ended with the party of 10 getting Covid, so now I set her at home recoverying from it!!!

[@thesuperioraffection4502]

What better place to turn another year oldera, a Banff b-day. What an amazing video of the wonderous Canadian Rockies! Mystic Lake was breathtakingly beautiful, totally opposite of the Mystic Lake I worked at years ago, which was dark, ugly, noisy, and depressing. Now I can think of the beautiful version when the name comes to mind. 😂
