Welcome to BC, we are born and raised here! Went to Alaska last year and you are in for a treat, the landscape gets better once you hit northern BC, Yukon and onto Alaska…. We did Arizona Utah last winter and it is a different beautiful, buuuuut mountains and lakes very hard to beat!

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Thank you! We are so enjoying our trip of a lifetime. I "Katrina" agree about the Mountains and lakes are hard to beat! Have a great summer!

First..... There is nothing wrong with putting the camera down in order to spend time with family. Really enjoyed this video. Gorgeous scenery. It brings back many fond memories of our trip to Banff 5 years ago. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Till AZ..... Be safe and Be Well.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Glad you guys were able to make the trip there. Nothing like seeing it in person. See ya in AZ!!😃

[@justramblinaround]

That campground was wonderful it was an incredible view. Omg i am so in love with those hikes you did I looked it up and it is just a couple days drive and just reached to the top of my list i want to go to that area in 2025 no kater then 2026 thanks so much for sharing. Your bear encounters were fantastic especially seeing it in the water taking a bath wow u must have brought your bear luck with you to Leavenworth! Wow that was a great day for sure and can really see how much you truly appreciated it all! Wow loved following you on this day for sure! 😊

[@oureverydaygetaway]

If your planning a trip for 2025 you may want to make reservations now if you haven't already done so. They fill up fast. Yes, we have our bear mojo on this trip! 😁

[@RetiredRoadTripping]

Amazing views!! Love waterfalls!! We still haven't seen a bear in person yet..... What a great trip!!

[@oureverydaygetaway]

When you guys get the chance to make it up this way you will see more than your share of bears. They are everywhere. This morning one walked right past our rig with it's cub. Hope your having a great summer!

[@susananderson618]

What a great video! You are making such wonderful memories. Awesome video of the bear so fun to watch. Safe travels and look forward to the next video.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for taking the time to watch.

[@TheRoadSMITHS]

Oh my goodness! Absolutely gorgeous footage! Looks like y’all are having an amazing trip already!! That bear playing in the lake was fantastic!! Keep that footage coming! Looking forward to more!!

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Such a wonderful surprise finding him in the pond enjoying himself! Not everyday you get to see a bear in a pond. Truly blessed!

[@walterrafolski5662]

Chris, we would definitely watch as the views were amazing. I’m with you stay away from the bears they can move a lot faster than we can. Please keep the videos coming so we can enjoy the beautiful countryside. Hope to do this trip one of theses days!

[@oureverydaygetaway]

If you get the chance to get up this way you will not be disappointed! Definitely a trip of a lifetime!

[@saras4181]

Beautiful scenery! Hope you took Tucker for a good walk to sniff& explore.

[@aChangeOfSceneryRV]

That was so cool. I could see the little kid in Chris come out watching the bear playing in the water

[@oureverydaygetaway]

OMG, it was incredible!!

[@earlhunt2815]

Mercy! I couldn't believe 20 minutes already gone! Seemed like you just started. Great video! Wife and I encountered black bears several times on our hikes in the Appalachians. Once, a mama and her two cubs in the Shenandoah national Park. It was so close... could have spit a watermelon seat at them. I was scared. The standoff lasted too long and Mama Bear walked on with her two cubs.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

OMG, I "Katrina" would have peed myself encountering a Mama and her cubs that close. Glad to hear nothing happened and no one was hurt.

[@patrickburke9764]

Great job, thanks for the video nice work on the bear video too and the scenery excellent 👍

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Thank you very much!

Thanks you and thanks for taking the time to watch.😊

[@AnnMaynard-fu9qd]

Enjoyed the video. The waterfalls are amazing to watch and the swimming bear was a real treat. I can see your enthusiasm for the adventure is genuine and that makes your channel stand out from so many others. Looking forward to the next video.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Thank you very much! We very much appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave a comment. 😃

[@sherriweber7105]

Hi Chris and Katrina! It’s ok not to film seeing family. I respect yours theirs privacy. As long as you had fun after not seeing them for 30 years. My mom and her 2 second cousin didn’t see each other for 50 years before he came to her 80 birthday. But nit to change the subject but the river was nice and the water falls. I love waterfalls. I love the sound of rivers flowing. It’s peaceful. I used to have an alarm that woke up to that. I also played to sleep. How cute seeing a bear playing in the water. And a raven seeing a raven. Beautiful scenery. Never been to that part of Canada. Other parts. Toronto and Ontario and another part but can’t remember. It’s a beautiful country. Thank you for taking me along on the journey. Have a great weekend and see you soon! Have a great week too! Safe travels.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

When you get a chance to travel up this way there's no doubt in our minds you will LOVE it!! So looking forward to hanging out with you! Have a great summer!

[@sherriweber7105]

@@oureverydaygetaway Same here Looking forward to hanging out with someday too! I love beautiful scenery. Especially with snow on the mountains. Can’t beat that.

Another great video guys. Well done! 🙂

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Thank you 🤗

[@todcar1967]

..we're from Alberta and know this area well, we've seen many bears over the years (grizzly and black), but have never seen a bear chillin' in the water like that... it was truly an amazing video to watch and you had an incredible opportunity to see it live.....what a great experience and thank you for sharing it... best of luck on your trip North and fingers crossed the weather keeps improving for you.. sooooo much to see and do in nature's playground..... my wife and I have been exploring US National and State parks in April and May (Arches, Zion, Bryce, Yellowstone) and similarly are amazed with all the beauty in your country.... memories instead of wishes... we will be watching every video as you move on...safe travels.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

We will be coming back your way and spending more time. Two weeks is not enough time to see everything in the area. Next visit will be more like 2 months or longer. The mid west has some amazing places to see. Glad you were able to explore some of them. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and leave a comment. Safe travels and have a wonderful summer filled with epic adventures.😀

[@snowbirdlady7221]

So happy for you to be there off season and early! What a difference to my experience going in summer. Thanks for sharing Johnson Canyon. I could just feel the cool air!

[@oureverydaygetaway]

It was such a blessing being there early. A little chilly for sure but we beat the crowds! 😁

[@raoulroberts2024]

I don't know which was the better highlight for me - the awesome waterside view of your campsite or the bear having a jolly old time in the lake. I'm gonna say both.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Everyday has been a amazing adventure. Hard for us to choose as well. Thanks for watching.

[@tammyscott9664]

Banff has long been on our list. Must make it happen next year! Thanks for a great video…keep em coming!

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Thank you! You'll not regret your decision to travel to Banff. Jasper is just as Amazing!

[@LoCleTXRV]

Thanks for sharing. So many places we want to put on our bucket list from these videos.🐻

You won't be disappointed. 😊

[@karlmopete]

We love your reviews. Such a fun couple that complement each other so well. I’m sure it would be a blast caravaning with you two.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Thanks so much! If your ever in the area we'd love to hang out and have a glass or two of wine. We love meeting new friends along the way. Safe travels!

[@bobk18]

Nice to see Johnson Canyon wasn’t that busy, parking lot was 1/2 empty or full. Johnson Canyon is nice But Maligne Canyon in Jasper is spectacular. Happy Trails.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Thanks for the info. We planned our trip a little earlier than some just so we could beat some of the crowds later in the season. Have a great summer!

[@johnsenesi9095]

The trip of a lifetime is absolutely magnificent, especially the black bears. And it's only the beginning. Of the adventure.

Beautiful scenery for sure.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Yes indeed!

[@constance8606]

I'm exhausted too, between the waterfalls and all that walking... but it was beautiful! Looking at the lake with the mountains in the background, beautiful. Thank for letting me ride along. Just keep a lookout for the bears while I'm sleeping, goodnight.

It really is so beautiful! So much to see and do here in Canada. Will keep our eye open for bears!👀

[@dougd9944]

Great Pic of the bear and more. I too just saw my first bear in Lake Tahoe. Than in 12 days ,saw 15 bears... the forest Rangers said they haven't seen this much bear activity.

born and raised in Calgary, I’m so embarrassed that there are bus loads of tourists to Banff National Park and area. Shame on these companies that are ruining the landscape and charging unreasonable pricing. Happy you got to enjoy the landscape we travel several times a month! We are seasonal at Hoodoo Mountain. Olive lake is a beautiful little rest stop, i’m so jealous i’ve never seen a bear swimming there. You kinda slaughtered the pronunciation for Kootenay! Safe travels! Nima Falls is also a must stop!

[@oureverydaygetaway]

We were a little surprised with how many tour buses there are in the area. Thank goodness we went early in the season. Sounds like it gets Crazy busy in the summer. The bear in Olive lake made our day! It was a once in a lifetime siting for sure. Yikes, Chris will have to work on his pronunciations. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment. Enjoy your summer in the area it's incredible!

[@ronbirchard5262]

there are two systems of parks in Canada. provincial and federal. the funding for each park system comes from Canada or the province that the park is in. when you get out of Banff and past jasper and heading north. the parks that you might stay in will be provincial run parks. unless they are owned by a private citizen. Banff is Canada's 1st park and was the start to Canada's national park system and provincial parks

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Thanks for the information. So far all of the parks we've stayed at in Canada have been Amazing!

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Hey there Sheri! For Chris and myself we try to hike the mid level trails. We started hiking the easiest level a mile to 2 miles when we first started. Of course it's going to be different for everyone. Thanks for watching and have a great summer camping season!
