[@katerinazervata]

I live in Alberta and I'm glad you are showing the world how beautiful Canada is .

[@SammyandTommy]

We can’t wait to return and make more videos in your beautiful country 😍

[@robertjames-life4768]

Don’t you love being in the woods, the crisp chilly air scented with campfire smells. Like a natural warm blanket. So many memories of camping with family in the Cascades coming to me while watching this.

[@JeanEvans-y2g]

I have just watched your clip and it is amazing. You have showed how wonderful the whole area is without rushing through it all. I have watched a few clips recently as my husband and I are visiting this area in August and can't wait to see it for ourselves!!. This has been the best I have seen! Thank you and enjoy your travels. Keep sharing.

[@SammyandTommy]

You guys are gonna love it 😍 It's an amazing place! Really appreciate all the love! Let us know if you have any further questions :)

So beautiful! We were in Banff around the same time, mid September and when we visited Lake Louise we were lucky enough to watch a rainbow form over the lake.

[@SammyandTommy]

Sounds amazing! Can’t wait to visit again! Thanks for sharing

[@biancadavid9511]

The scenery is unbelievable!! Absolutely loved the video. Thank you for that great video.

[@SammyandTommy]

You're right! That scenery never gets old! Thank you very much for your kind words 💜

[@stanleyanderson4196]

$20 Dollar View is also in reference to the $20 Canadian Dollar Bill that was in circulation between 1969 and 1979 featuring that beautiful view. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@SammyandTommy]

Thanks so much! Appreciate you sharing!

[@magentahorizon6503]

Canada is just so beautiful! Your trip is bringing back my five senses when I visited in 2013 :) I didn't do any heavy hiking and I'm just so excited to live vicariously through your hikes. OMG! Lake Louise is so much bigger looking down at it compared to seeing it front and center. I had no idea. Sending you both lots of postive vibes 🤗 and thanks for sharing your videos!

[@SammyandTommy]

It really is a magical place 😍 Thanks so much for all the love! It’s a completely different perspective from the top, glad we could share the view. Can’t wait to share the next part of the journey! Thanks for being here 🙏

[@jameshabisohn1110]

I just went last week and am now seeing this! I did Devils Thumb (un marked trail past the Beehive) and it was very challenging. Proposed at the top!

[@SammyandTommy]

That’s amazing! Congratulations James 🎉🥳👏🎊🍾🥂

[@TWOLOVELYPEOPLETRAVEL]

Amazing Banff guys thanks for the quality and emotions!

[@SammyandTommy]

Glad you enjoyed it! Much appreciated 🥰

So awesome to hear! Thank you so much 🤗

[@koko-wt1ub]

Too funny, was just watching your Greece videos as we are headed there this week and we live an hour away from Banff, so ended up watching a video of our backyard instead! I love this place!

[@SammyandTommy]

Have an amazing trip in Greece! Hope we did your backyard justice! How lucky you are! Enjoy your travels 👋

[@michelekaczynski8189]

Thank for filming the trails as you ascent so people can see how difficult or easy of the trail; and decide to put on their trail plans.

[@RolandMueller-xu8rv]

Banff National Park is Canada's busiest NP. It has about 3 million visitors a year! And the expression "the $20 dollar view" for Moraine Lake, is from the 1969 Canadian $20 Bill, which has the view of Moraine Lake and the (Valley of) Ten Peaks on the reverse side. Thanks so much for your vids on Western Canada, very well done. Love your new friends on KZbin's "Keep Going Places." Thanks from Ontario, CANADA.

[@sablehodson]

Loved this video popping up for so many reasons -- We're headed to Banff this weekend and I'm a Coug alumni as well! GO COUGS!

[@SammyandTommy]

Have an awesome weekend! Perfect timing to visit! Let us know how your trip goes! Go Cougs!!

[@pattyflanigan1354]

Amazing! Can’t wait to go❤️

[@SammyandTommy]

You’re gonna love it so much! More ideas for you in our next video!

[@lightplane]

Moraine lake is called the $20 view because it used to be on the back of the $20 bill. It's no longer on their after the bill was redesigned.

[@SammyandTommy]

We didn't know it was redesigned, thanks for there info!

[@davidmarshall718]

@@SammyandTommy ---- It was on Canada's $20 bill from 1969 to about 1989. The "$20 View" is a typically humble "Canadian Parody" of the phrase "Million Dollar View" which is often used for "views" a fraction of the natural artistry of Moraine Lake.

[@7113cole]

I just happened across your channel, WOWED!!!!!! What an amazing experience. Definitely adding to my bucket list.

[@SammyandTommy]

So happy you stumbled across our channel! Yes, Banff is a must if you love nature! Thanks for watching 🥰

[@RCDR1000]

Very nice video of Banff especially Moraine Lake. Shows the beauty of it and before the crowds come in. You guys are becoming my favorite tour vlogs because you show the real beauty of the places you go to like the one in the Philippines. Keep up the good videos and happy travels.

[@RCDR1000]

about the animal crossing, tour guide info when they built the high way it separated the national park into 2 so they made underground crossings but it became a trap for predators so they had to build overpass animal crossings so the animals won't be trapped. They have made everything possible for the animals to live naturally in the national park. Banff and Jasper area are beautiful.

[@tica19911]

Moraine Lake ? :D Peter Mckinnon fans where are you at? Great vid guys , keep up the good work !

[@SammyandTommy]

Love it and Peter McKinnon! Thanks for the awesome compliment 👊

[@jenniferkakita7208]

I loved this video! That’s the next location on our list! Sammy- what boots are you wearing ? Pull on hiking boots? I love! Thanks !

[@SammyandTommy]

Thank you! Banff is incredible, we can’t wait to go back!! The boots are high top Blundstones (but they take quite a bit of time to break in) … they are amazing!

[@skitaylor]

We’re planning a trip to Banff soon and this was so helpful - thank you! I also have a ‘what are you wearing’ question 😆- who makes the black puffer you’re wearing? I like it’s boxy shape (as opposed to the narrower cuts).

[@SammyandTommy]

@@skitaylor it’s free people, it’s the packable puffer I think…it packs small and it’s very warm!

[@expatinbrazil]

like #22! big like ! awesome adventure and awesome new look Tommy! respect!

[@SammyandTommy]

Thanks so much friend! Really appreciate all the love 🙏

[@MrHuntingsAdventures]

Moraine Lake is awesome…..went there 18 years ago and need to go back!

[@SammyandTommy]

Such a beautiful place 😍 We are ready to go back as well!

[@mere_mort4l]

In Banff now, did the Lake Louise to Mirror Lake to the tea house and Agnes Lake then the Big Beehive and Devil’s Thumb then to the Plane of Five Glaciers and back, wonderful hike. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@SammyandTommy]

Good work 😅 that’s impressive! Glad you had an awesome time! I am jealous, can’t wait to go back there 😍

[@MatteaandChris]

Loved the video! The turquoise water is so so beautiful - can't wait to make the trip out there someday. Did you ever run into any bears on your hikes??

[@SammyandTommy]

Thanks so much you guys! You gotta make a trip up there 😍 We did not run into any bears on our hikes but we do see a few in our next two videos 👍

[@starguy821]

Definitely on my to do list and hoping to go this year.

[@SammyandTommy]

Do it! You’re gonna love it 😍

[@2WheelTours]

Simply amazing!Loved everything about the park and the cinematography of the video.I am drooling all over the keyboard, so I guess you guys did your job well 😁Canada is beautiful and Canadians are very respectful of their unique surroundings. And it seems that you guys stayed long enough to record AND take in the place for personal memories. Can't get better than this.

[@SammyandTommy]

Thanks so much for making our day! Appreciate all the love 🤗 Canadians are super friendly and lots of fun. We loved our time there! You're so right, It doesn't get much better!

[@Jade244]

Im glad you had such a great time! I love the Johnston Canyon hike. You didnt make it to the Ink Pots tho! Much less crowded and amazing scenery

Wow….Didn’t realize Alberta, CA or Canada in general is this stunning. Did you forget your drone this time?

IF 2 Cougs meet in the wilderness do the huskies still (Starts with "S" rhymes with muck) 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Epically gorgeous vide guys. This is one place that has been on our list forever and we've never made it. Hopefully one day, great job of almost making me forget how cold it is up there 🤙🤙🙏🙏💖💖

[@SammyandTommy]

😂😂 Thanks so much you guys! We know you guys will make it up there soon! It's not too chilly and so worth it for the scenery! Head in late summer or early fall and you will be perfect 👌 Appreciate all the support 🙏💜

Going to all these places and more in two weeks! Would have liked more tips on parking, good/bad restaurants you went to etc. Very pretty video tho

Thanks for the suggestions! We are always looking to improve. Have a fantastic trip!

In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful. -Alice Walker.. my hype levels just went from 10 to 100 right away, absolutely incredible no doubt about it, sacrificing sleep and waking early just to get a car spot for the $20 view is worth it, my jaw just dropped on how beautiful it really is.. thank you my friends for sharing this wonderful masterpiece, ive been to Canada to catch the northern lights but I need to go back asap to check out everything else in between. I have got so many great ides on places to visit because of you guys.. ps Tommy brother that hair is so luscious same goes with the beard I kinda dig it, suits you in a good way.. the more i think about it the more you look like Jake Gyllenhaal.. 👍

[@SammyandTommy]

Love the quote! Thanks Vu 🤗 The lack of sleep was well worth the view! So happy to hear you enjoyed the video! Thanks so much for the amazing support and compliments friend 🙏 We really want to see the northern lights! I bet it was amazing!

Is this Moraine Lake Parking Lot arrival from September 2021? Is this trip from 1 year ago? You mentioned September. August when this is posted vid is posted. On current Forums it is stated that Moraine Lake parking is FULL at 2:30AM. Please clarify when you were there. I do not want to be disappointed because of outdated information Thanks!

[@SammyandTommy]

Yes it is from September 2021. It is much busier now because it is still summer. In September it slows down some.

A bit confused as he said they couldn't afford to stay in Banff. Then later she said "we're staying right in Banff". Was hoping for reasonably priced suggestions.

No doubt one of the most beautiful places I have traveled to, its a shame they require vaccination now.
