Thank you so much for sharing this video. It's helpful in preparing for my trip.

[@patriciaduchnicky1350]

Thank you❤ All your tips were very precise, and I am enjoying each of them, including my pet🐶❤🗻

[@emilymackinnon6458]

I like how you add what is dog friendly

[@chrissmith513]

Can't get enough of Jasper !!! 😊😊😊 Especially skiing at Marmot ❄❄❄

[@melben7934]

Yoooooooo thank you so much, I almost have a tear writing this. Roadtrip to banff and jasper is a 3 year old dream, and about to realize it in 3 weeks. Its honestly so beautiful it fills me of emotions. Thank you so much for all the tips, makes planning much easier and fun

[@alysmalls]

Enjoy!! The rockies are more beautiful in person, you will have an amazing time

[@cerievans4099]

Thank you very much, Aly. We're headed to Canada in two weeks' time and are doing the reverse trip for Jasper to Banff. I've prepared a "to do list" based upon your helpful guide.

[@Aritul]

How did it go? I'm thinking of staying close to Jasper and doing a day trip to Banff.

[@nehaej8223]

We are travelling to Jasper and Banff this Saturday. Thank you so much Ally, your videos are so helpful and amazing… I love the way you narrate everything.❤

[@alysmalls]

I hope you have the most amazing time!

[@ArtistryOfAdventure]

I just love Jasper! It’s stunning in every season.

[@dupreemottley7320]

Finally! People who appreciate that Jasper is not Banff's poor cousin. Keep up the good work..excellent video

[@dilpreetsingh3568]

Awesome! Planning Jasper vacation with family during kids summer vacation and came across this wonderful video.

[@vickyagnew1651]

I’m going tomorrow and was so happy to find this. Thank you!

[@chadrud]

I prefer Jasper over Banff, it's so laid back and less commercialized

[@jdhreiss]

Agree.

[@laurentfortin1330]

Agree. They are both outstanding, but if you want to feel more in a remote place there is more choice in Jasper. Also, the biggest landmarks are less crowded

[@maheshb3]

Agreed, but I have encountered more rude people in Jasper than in Banff

[@gluonjck63]

I concur. Although Banff is spectacular it is over touristed. Jasper was spectacular and a great spot to kick off my journey on the AlCan highway to Alaska. The two provincial parks on the AlCan are simply stunning.

[@jetblockmoth5961]

I did both last year and I 100% agree

[@Keith_Aerotrunk]

The place is fantastic. Great job to the best presentation. I really love your content, Aly!

[@berkshirepete5189]

I’m coming later this month and found this video incredibly helpful. Great job!

[@overwatchxrescue]

Maligne Lake in particular is definitely an epic spot! Canoeing or kayaking the entire length is a special challenge.

[@olgitad4693]

Thanks. After your video we can plan our trip to Jasper.

[@avtarsinghsingh9061]

Helpful stunning video for my this summer travel / journey to Canada. Really beautiful, Added to my list. Thanks a lot

[@helenx3360]

[@mexicoliferodcook9479]

Breathtakingly beautiful. Wow

[@jenj3764]

This is super helpful. All about the destination and not about other stupid crap like some other travel blogging couples.. thanks!!

[@brentstraddle1462]

You do an excellent job! I hope you are making bank!

[@stuartlindsay4589]

Thanks Aly really informative, we have 4 nights in Jasper in early September.

[@bethardin2016]

Awesome video! My favourite place ❤️❤️❤️

[@alysmalls]

Mine too!

[@janet8418]

Thanks for sharing

[@Katepwe]

When I was a kid in the 70’s our family would go camping at Jasper. One of my cousins was a park warden at the time so we would get to camp at his remote cabin.

[@alibavi2131]

Jasper is one of the most beautiful cities in Canada ❤❤❤

[@MiniVlogsPakistan]

Very good job ❤❤❤

[@paulhuval]

Aly, you did a great video here thanks 👍

[@alysmalls]

Thanks Paul :)

[@paulhuval]

@@alysmalls 😉 I also passed this along to my friends to watch as well

[@laviebellekhadidja]

Wow très beaux partage 👌💚💙

[@alysmalls]

Merci!

[@gilbert2303]

Another great video Aly. I really enjoy your content.

[@alysmalls]

Thank you!!

[@katiedanderson]

I am so excited about all of this. Planning a trip soon but wanted to know how many days/nights you were there to do all of this? Is 4 nights enough? How many trails did you do per day??

[@vicephotos]

Amazing video! Gonna change my itinerary up a bit because of this video. If you don't mind me asking, what camera do you use for your videography?

[@alysmalls]

Sony ZV-1 and Google pixel 6

[@samanthawright7207]

What time of year did you film this series? It’s absolutely stunning! 😍

[@KaiseruSoze]

Constructive criticism: you sound like you are reading. But great videography, narration totally fit the video. I am thinking about revisiting Jasper & doing the stuff I regret not doing the last time I was there :) Ya Know? I wandered around Banff, Lake Lousie, Lake Moraine & all around there & wandered all the way up to Jasper and then later learned how much I missed :(

[@gyels2011]

Excellent video! I would appreciate it if you could share me which camera used for this video.

[@alysmalls]

Sony ZV-1 and Google pixel 6

[@melissamorin8764]

Hey just wondering regarding using your drone as drones are not permitted in the national park haha?

[@Texg1rl_]

I started in Jasper and went south. Such a beautiful area. I would’ve done more hiking if I hadn’t Had a small dog.

[@mbt6504]

Please give more details about glacier on the trail. How to get there.

[@143Mikay]

Amazing video! Hey, what’s the name of the trail you’re on at 7:05 here? Thank you!

[@alysmalls]

Edith Cavell

[@anupajayakody458]

How many days did you take to cover these places ??

[@brandonsanabria8556]

Awesome video! I have a dumb question maybe haha what about bears? I mean, is it safe for the hikes and visit the lakes? 🤔

[@alysmalls]

Not a dumb question! Yes there are bears, but they don't want to see you more than you don't want to see them. Bring bear spray, and on the trails make noise. You could stick to the more popular trails and lakes that have lots of people for less likely of an encounter.

[@brandonsanabria8556]

@@alysmalls Thank you very much for this info! Jasper is in my bucket list, hope to visit soon! :)

[@pat13487]

❤❤❤❤

[@xylachan6982]

Where’s the place of “Take a shot for your country”, is it at a restaurant in Jasper downtown? 😃 want to visit there too.

[@alysmalls]

Jasper Pizza Place, upstairs on the patio!

[@xylachan6982]

⁠thank you so much for your reply. ❤😃👍🏼👍🏼

[@ilhamiturgut9349]

How many days do we need to visit Baff and Jasper?

[@alysmalls]

at minimum 5 days to hit both, ideally a week

[@devaanand1308]

Did yo go in July or August?

[@alysmalls]

June & July

Glaciers are confronting because they are melting because of poor choices made by our ancestors.
