WE’RE LEAVING BANFF (Driving the Icefields Parkway to Jasper National Park)

[@alaskanight940]

Thanks! Here is two gallons of gas. Thanx for showing me Banff, it really is quite pretty. The Red chairs are an amazingly good idea, Bravo Canada.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Thank you so much!! 😄💚 The red chairs were a very fun find for us!

Heartland is filmed around the towns of Millerville and High River. Before travelling up to Jasper you missed a few other things in Southern Alberta.

OK here’s another Attaboy comment in your long list of Atta boys. However, I feel compelled to tell you how wonderful you two are! It’s hard not to grow very fondly towards you watching you weekly. If more people lived like you, the world would be a much better place.

[@hapnewsom9217]

The grey water is from rivers that are glacier fed, the grey is called glacial flour and it rocks that the glacier grinds up super fine, the turquoise is snowmelt and spring fed rivers. when you keep coming west it just keeps getting better and better!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

So cool!! The glacial rivers and lakes are our favorite! 😄

[@GoWestYoungMan]

Love the red Muskoka chairs. What a great idea from Parks Canada.

[@cboyle707]

Never worry about going to"tourist-ie" places. I've had some of best times of my life at crowded tourist-ie places! They are usually clean and safe. That sets the scene for happy camping. And remember, bring us along!

[@karenstefanovic4061]

Check out Drumheller while you’re in Alberta! It has the Badlands, the Hoodoos and Royal Tyrell Dinosaur Museum. I’ve been there many times and can’t get enough :)

Haha, love that way of looking at it!! We'll try to keep it up! 💚

You two are so cute 😊. I’m 61 and Canadian, I love seeing you enjoy our country. I’ve been to Calgary once but haven’t seen as much as you have, yet. You need to go to Vancouver Island too, so beautiful. I’m going to see grandchildren on Vancouver Island next week. So much to explore. Enjoy

Cool ride u guys.

[@yooperdog]

We loved Emerald Lake.

[@heatheroliver3408]

As an Albertan I have camped in Jasper and Banff and I prefer Jasper because it's less crowded. My family celebrated my older sister's birthday in September one year. We all rented tourist cabins together and the cabins all had small kichens and fireplaces. We hiked some great trails and spent an entire day breaking up in teams,and doing a scavenger hunt in Jasper downtown area. We had to find things Ike a cowbell, a stuffed animal, statue of a bear, etc. And take pictures of our finds. The winning team all got gold chocolate medals on lanyards and a trophy containing candy. Our version of the Olympic Games! So fun!

[@dicksonfranssen]

Banff has been a zoo for years, condos going up everywhere. They've been in danger of losing the National Park charter more than once. Jasper is much nicer.

[@robertpearson8798]

I know what it is too😉 That’s one of the world’s most scenic drives. I’ve done it twice and hope to do it again next summer. Also, in Ontario those are called Muskoka chairs.

[@privatename8228]

That's interesting. In Nova Scotia Canada those chairs are called Adirondack chairs. We are a huge country with each area using different terms. That's half the fun! 😊

[@robertpearson8798]

@@privatename8228 I just did some research and I might be wrong here. They look very much the same but Muskoka chairs are about 2 inches taller than Adirondacks and they have a curved back while Adirondacks have flat backs and the arms are about 2 inches further apart. Muskoka is a “cottage country” district a couple of hours north of Toronto.

[@privatename8228]

@@robertpearson8798 You could be absolutely right. I was just going by the overall general appearance. They both represent summer fun and relaxation in Canada.🌞

[@happydays59]

Spectacular views, gave me goosebumps 😊

[@miss.campbell1103]

We call those red chairs Muskoka chairs in Canada. They’re the same as American Adirondack chairs, but they are muskoka chairs here for the cottage country area called Muskoka north of Toronto.

You guys, are magnificently cool !! Love from S. California.

[@michaeladams8090]

You two! Your photography gets better with every video you do. We love the adventures you take on and your fearlessness! We toured the country in an old VWvan in the sixties and you two take us back to those days with a modern twist! Mucho Aloha to you both❤️❤️🤙🏼🤙🏼✌🏽✌🏽

[@patireland3345]

Thanks for sharing the Red Chair views - breathtaking!

[@amandalinkletter]

I think we passed you guys! We've been in Banff and Jasper National parks this week as part of our "Great Canadian Adventure" with our 4 children! We left PEI in June, and are starting our journey east in a couple days. We love your Ontario tips! Thanks for sharing. If you ever go east to PEI we will give you the scoop on best places.

[@samjang6097]

Cool. Last July. We stopped by The Crossing for dinner on our back from your next “Cool” destination to our hotel in Canmore during our roadtrip from Los Angeles to Banff. Thanks fir the tip about the trail in Wilcox to those red chairs. Hopefully our kids will be bigger and can handle longer hikes the next time we go up there.

Thank you sooo much for my sticker. I turned it into a magnet and put it on my refrigerator

This is what people want to see, not some huge truck pulling a monster trailer that none of your viewers will ever be able to afford. Keep it real.

[@SchnuffiJames]

Thanks for the video.

[@shackinternationalRT]

Love watching your trip through Canada! I have been here for 70 of my 71 years of life and I love it! I try to go Banff as much as I can. Getting old slows you down but I can enjoy watching it through your eyes. Thanks!!

[@DonnaNichols-ep5de]

You two are the sweetest couple that I kinda know..lol So happy to know that you enjoyed Banf so much. Since you looked forward to it for soooo long, so it would have been sad if you were disappointed. But your weren't, so yayyyyy!!! Can"t wait to see your next adventure. Big fat hugs, lotsa love!!!! 🥀🌸🌺🤗🌺🌸🥀

[@ASkepticsPerspective]

I was born and raised in Prince George, BC. That is a four hour drive west of Jasper. I have driven the Banff - Jasper Highway several time, BUT NEVER (sadly) took the time to explore as you did. I tell anyone who will listen, that drive is the prettiest driver anywhere. The images you are providing are breathtaking and amazing and definitely prove my assertion. I hope you are enjoying your time in Canada and welcome. There is one sad fact about the glacier you visited (if I am correct as to which one it is). When I was in Grade 11 or 12 (1975 or 1976), the geography classes took a 3 day field trip to Jasper and we visited those glaciers. At that time the glacier was were nearly at the highway and we could easily walk to it. In the mid 1990s I took a vacation with my wife and two young daughters and was despondent to see how far back the glacier had retreated. But we could still easily walk to it. A friend of mine just visited the glacier and said the distance from the highway to the glacier is now almost a kilometer and you pretty much have to take one of the ice field vehicles to get to it. So sad what climate change is doing. Enjoy the rest of your trip.

[@happydays59]

I second your comment .

[@cherizettel2402]

We were having so much fun following your vlog. We are 5 days behind you on the same path. You have given us great ideas and previews of what we might expect at different locations. Enjoyed the video of Tak Falls. The weather was terrible the day we were there so we missed it. However, tomorrow we will go to Wapta Falls and I can’t wait. We live in our 5th wheel so we are not quite as mobile as you are but it is spectacular all the same. Enjoy! And, thanks.

Went riding near Jasper when I visited (a long time ago). We met a black bear on the trail, so close but the horses really weren’t bothered! Gorgeous part of the world.

[@jonbarnard7186]

I live in Alberta and I've driven the parkway dozens of times. I only got stuck buying gas at Saskatchewan Crossing once, and learned my lesson. Fill up in lake Louise, fill up in Jasper; I avoid the crossing at all costs. I've done that Wilcox Creek hike a few times. The first time I did it in 1981 we had it to ourselves. The last time I did it was last year, and it's getting pretty crowded now, although not as crowded as Lake Louise, which may well be the busiest tourist spot in Canada. Last year my wife and I drove from the west coast of Vancouver Island to Nova Scotia, and back to Alberta. I don't think I'll do that again, but I'm glad we did it!

[@hf3490]

I love that you found the chairs. My husband and I have found so many. East coast, west coast and in between. Fun! Love your videos. So glad you’re loving my country. 🤓🇨🇦

Loving your vlogs, especially your thrill of the gorgeous mountains, lakes ect. I worked at Banff Springs Hotel at 18 for a summer. Fell in love with the west, moving to Alberta and BC from Ontario a couple years later. Due to health reasons, we moved to Ontario closer to family, but still miss the west and always tear up at the beauty. Thank you for your wonderful posts.

Y'all had me smiling all the way thru. You are so sweet together. The shot up the mountain (from the van window) really gave great perspective on just how tall those mountains are! The waterfall was amazing and y'all in the red chairs was perfect! I know you must have been worn out. Climbing at that altitude would be so hard.❤❤Jane (Y'all are amazing!!)

Ad back south....if you go to the area of high river....you can go see Maggie's Dinner from heartland. The actual heartland Ranch is only about a 45min drive from there, but it is hard to find....but if you look hard enough, you will find the road and be able to get to the gates. However it is private property so all you can do is look and take a pictue. You actually pass the laydown yard that is just up the road from the Ranch wear the set up the trailers and have all the vehicles used in the show.

[@amye4087]

Watching Natalie do that crossing of the rock brought me back to a time in my teens where we had been in the backcountry for weeks and were coming out but got totally lost and had been hiking for about 15 miles by the time we came to a huge boulder (van size) field that the only way we could get from one to the other was to lean out like that and then try and step to next one. We had 50+ lbs packs on and this was late in the evening and were exhausted. After doing that about 30 times, I was not holding my weight very well and would face plant onto the rock. Oy, what a day. Once we got out of that field, we finally hit the trail we wanted but was still 8 miles to where we had a ride to pick us up. Needless to say, the ride was no longer there when we walked in around 1am. They did come back the next day and got us though. Thanks for bringing me back to that time. 🤣

We were just in Banff so beautiful will be going back we found your channel by looking in Banff we love your channel

The term "All Dressed" began with pizzas, if you ordered a pizza all dressed, it meant with everything. All dressed chips have a combination of chip flavours - usually BBQ, Salt & Vinegar, Ketchup, and sour cream & onion. One maker, Covered Bridge has a unique twist with their Storm Chip flavour where the package the various flavoured chips in a single package (not a combined spice mix)

[@pvdogs2]

Covered Bridge also has The Weekender which is a mix of 4 flavours.
