Lake O'Hara - Yoho National Park - Alpine Circuit Hike 4K

[@nailtechniquevlogs]

Wow..so nice...

[@EasyHikes4810]

Thank you🙂! It is an absolutely mesmerising place and not even the best photos or videos can convey the beauty of the area.

I hiked this circuit about 25 years ago in August and it still had some snow on the trail going over to All Souls prospect but that was all. Lake Oesa didn't have any ice in it and I lucked out it has beautiful blue sky. This is a one of my favorite hikes that I did.

[@EasyHikes4810]

Yes, definitely one of our favourite hikes too. Thanks again for watching and commenting.

Its looks simple picture of place but its really GREAT!

[@EasyHikes4810]

Thank you so much🙂. Glad you liked it!

Hi Laurie and Karen, really really beautiful location as you say what a view it was! Thanks for sharing 😀

[@EasyHikes4810]

Probably our favourite hike in the Canadian Rockies 😀. It was quite hard to obtain a shuttle ticket (that doesn't operate any longer 😕)to go to the lake area. It took us 4 years to get one as they would sell out instantly online for the whole season. It still can be done now but have to walk the fire service road 11km each way. So it can't be done as a day hike anymore which is a shame. Have a great weekend 😀

this is super! amazing scenery my friend. excellent footage

[@EasyHikes4810]

One of the most beautiful places I have hiked. Absolutely breathtaking! Thank you for watching!

[@HaswellTravelled]

Wow! Quite a hike! Such amazing panoramic views! And very steep sections, and so high up. Spectacular - I could never do that. Thanks for sharing and have a great day 😀👍

[@EasyHikes4810]

Thank you, Jim. One of my favorite hikes to date and the views are just out of this world. No camera can capture the sheer beauty of this place. Have a great week.

WOW what a gorgeous hiking trail with the lake and mountains in the background amazing.

One of my favorite hikes to date! Absolutely gorgeous area and the views are just out of this world. The best cameras can't do it justice, it is that beautiful. Thank you once again for watching!

Lovely scenery thanks for sharing wishing you a great New Year 🥂🎉🎊

[@EasyHikes4810]

Thank you Tina & Norm for your kind comments. Wishing the both of you a Happy New Year also.

[@HaswellTravelled]

Wonderful hike in my neighboring province - so many beautiful vantage points! A number of sections looked scary. I'm not fit enough to do something like that, so great to watch it. Well done, my friends - big like 👍. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend 😀.

[@EasyHikes4810]

Thanks, Jim. One of my bucket list hikes I had in my sights on for a few years🙏. I am blessed to have done it as it is very hard to get a bus day pass to get up there unless you want to walk an extra 11km to reach Lake O'Hara via the fire road or book a cabin there for $1000 a night😲. The mountain scenery and wilderness alone is just out of this world💕👌.

This beautiful mountain lake really does bear a resemblance to Oeschinensee lake in Switzerland. You can also do similar steep hikes there :-) Thank you for showing! Have a great day mate!

[@EasyHikes4810]

Thanks, Martin! Switzerland has so many great places I would like to visit, I will need to take a full year off and still, I would not scratch the surface😁. I used to go there quite often as a kid (I was born in France) but haven't been there too many times since. Hopefully in the next couple of years🙏👍. Have a great week.

[@swisssights]

@@EasyHikes4810 I hope you can visit Switzerland soon again! There are so many beautiful spots - i also dont know all of them :-) Have agreat week!

[@SergeCousineau]

Second tumb up and first comment ! You did a beautiful job capturing this dream hike ! 👍 Like you said ...all the effort to go up there is worth the view ! We wouldn’t be able to do this kind of hike so thank you for showing us 😉 It was nice seeing you folks all along this awesome hike and specially were you filmed Karen on the edge of the cliff and then selfie’s of both of you .It was fun looking at you folks this Sunday morning before leaving for our day work at our Christmas Market . Hope you have more hidden videos coming up because it always whit great pleasure that we look at them . From on top over the world 🌎 have a nice week coming up both of you and say hello to your parents for us !😘😘😘😘 Love you my friend ! Hélène et Serge 💑 👍😉🎥🏔

[@EasyHikes4810]

Thank you Serge! I am glad you liked it. It was quite a strenuous hike and there were lots of scree and small boulders, especially the 1st section to the Wiwaxy Gap but the views were just magnificent and the atmosphere surreal. Really happy to have done it and to share our experience. Have fun at the Christmas markets with Helene and take care my friends. Cheers. Laurie and Karen

[@FollowingTheAgees]

This is our FAVE OF THE DAY!! This hike, the views, seeing you Kids out there, enjoying the adventure of it all...WELL DONE!! Hitting the AWESOME button! That trail is not for the faint of heart! Did the elevation bother you? Incredible footage, Laurie...thnx for taking us along! The edit is perfect, that Marmot is adorable. The color of the lake is aqua wonderful! Stills are lovely, Karen. Those are some huge steps to follow. Im surprised you didn't need clamp ons! Best footage, really, Kids!

[@EasyHikes4810]

Thank you, Lisa and Rick, for your support. It really means a lot to us. This hike has been on our radar for a long time and we were blessed to actually get a ticket after trying for 4 years in a row. Not for the faint-hearted, that's for sure especially with the 4 seasons weather we had on the day!! The altitude didn't bother me but Karen had altitude sickness on the hike and didn't feel the best and actually broke a finger on the way to the Yukness ledges when she fell in the snow (hence why I kept telling her to be careful in the video). I am glad you liked the footage as it was very challenging in some areas to try to film and not fall in a ravine or scree slope. I can take photos but Karen is way better than me with stills. I stick to the videos :) Thank you once again for watching and all the best for the coming festive season. Cheers from Down Under. Laurie & Karen

I’m looking forward to doing this hike when I visit in July. I was curious what time of year was it for you guys?

[@EasyHikes4810]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🙂. This hike was done on the 11th of July 2019. It is one of the most spectacular hike anyone can do in the Canadian Rockies. I hope you enjoy it.

[@coolcicada]

Hi, thanks for sharing this beautiful and thorough video on the circuit. Can you please tell me what date you went on this hike? I have reservation Aug 19 and wondering if I should prepare for snow on the ledges. Thank you!

[@EasyHikes4810]

Hi John. Thank you for your watching and commenting🙂. We did this hike on July 10th, 2019. I would say you should be pretty safe in August as most of the snow should be gone by then. Have fun, as it is a terrific hike and no video will do justice to the scenery and grandiose views there!

[@coolcicada]

@@EasyHikes4810 Thank you so much. I am very excited. I have subscribed to your channel. Happy travels!

[@darrylmachum1214]

Hello, terrific video. The spot at 2:45 where she is standing on the rock overlooking the lake, is that Opabin Prospect? If not where is that? I’m hoping to go this summer. I’m just going to hike in on the fire road and spend about 8 hours there. Thank you

[@EasyHikes4810]

Hi Darryl. The rock/boulder where my wife is standing at 2:45 overlooking Lake O'Hara is just an overhang half-way up (near some narrow ledges) on the Wiwaxy Gap section of the hike. It is not Opabin Prospect which is a bit further down around the Opabin Plateau section at 18:43 approximately. I would recommend doing the trail in a clockwise direction (as we did) as the 1st section is the steepest and quite challenging due to its elevation gain, but after that, it is quite manageable besides some rough sections around the Yukness ledges especially when snow/ice is present. All I can say is that you will be in for a treat🙂. Enjoy and once again thank you for watching👍!

Try this on a sunny day......Please!

Yes, it would be nice on a sunny 🌞 day. Unfortunately, we lucked out on the weather that day. Thank you so much for watching and commenting 😊.
