VAN LIFE IS THE BEST IN BANFF! Lake Louise Sunrise Hike

[@davidenativo]

Not sure if you guys fully realize it, but you make others able to experience what they couldn't otherwise. I don't know if I'll ever be lucky enough to visit Lake Louise, or most of the beautiful places you see, but thanks to you I do get to have at least a glimpse of what it would feel to be there. To be able to see all these amazing spots and beautiful people there are in this world is a big, big gift you do to us all. Thank you, love you. Safe travels

[@yolandarichard2299]

I agree.

[@brothersbestfriends6820]

Davide Nativo Well said. #gratitude

[@mrbjengel]

I agree also! I'm a wheelchair user and most of these destinations are impossible for me.

[@ToriMcAllister]

Kara has, without a doubt, the best editing skills on KZbin!

[@KaraandNate]

I love you 😁

[@belindamazes7685]

I totally agree.

[@basicreinis]

Lmao nowhere NEAR

[@FaithArise_]

So true, I love her montages at the beginning of each video.

[@jimgreen3966]

I have to agree. But, when you couple her skills with Nate's skill behind the camera, whether in his hands, or attached to a drone, they're an incredible team. They 100% deserve those awards they've gotten.

[@suziclark4244]

I love that when you edited it you kept the sound of the crunching snow in the background. It's one of my favorite sounds and it totally adds to the ambiance!

[@KaraandNate]

Hehe it one of our faves too :)

[@russellewis3331]

The sound of the ice and snow cracking a hundred feet ahead of you while you walk down a road in -38c is one of the most beautiful in the world. Its so western Canadian

[@iluvstarkid100]

Fun fact- my grade 1 teacher built the lake Louise tea house with her mom when she was a kid! She used to tell us stories about how bears would come to their camp and how they had to have their supplies flown in by helicopter 😝

[@nala36924]

This is the best example of living your lives to the fullest, this is adventure, this is iconic!

[@atharvapatil189]

Following you from a long time, but this video was undoubtedly the best one in terms of scenic beauty and Kara editing is just so good.

[@FireCracker3240]

Lake Louise is absolutely stunning. One place I've wanted to go for a long time. Canada is breathtakingly beautiful, and your videos have been a perfect representation. Seeing it in all its splendor seriously makes me want to move up there.

[@nicaroulette1249]

FireCracker3240 I just went there and it was such a breath taking view!

[@propitiationed]

I know sound like a broken record but OMG... these are some of the most beautiful shots i have ever seen! I’m sitting here, mouth open and mesmerized by this video. Thank you for the standings as long as it took to capture the changing sky and colors over the lake. The reflection on the water, the snow capped mountains and snow filled trees stretching to the sky blew my mind. Awesome job guys👏👏👏 . Your enjoyment of it all really comes through. So glad you decided to do van life in Canada.

[@stellap683]

So glad you are able to show people what a truly amazing place Canada is!! 🇨🇦❤️

[@FromThePrairies]

Ahhh home sweet home. Lived in Lake Louise for 7 years. The last 2 I enjoyed that view every morning from my couch in Staff Accommodation. Lake Agnes was my daily training hike.

[@DipanDas]

Banff just never gets old, been there at least 14 times and everytime it feels new. Now seeing the video is making me go there once again... Soon I will be there again.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Wow wow wow !! That snow and the scenery. We LOVE the cinematic shots - great filming. So glad you didn't come face to face with a bear although would have made an interesting VLOG. Loving the tea stops - really enjoyed this episode - as always - thanks for sharing Chris & Marianne 👍😍🚌

[@brianklavano6961]

Thanks for making me a proud Canadian..... Spectacular representation of where I had the privilege of growing up.....🇨🇦

[@MarriedwithWanderlust]

KILLER CINEMATIC EDITING.... Love the journey and can't wait to make my way up there. Like always thank you for the wonderful adventure. Travel More! Worry Less!

[@jaylakaip1234]

I hiked Lake Angus last summer and it looks even more beautiful in the winter. I travel to Banff and Lake Louis every summer and it is still one of my favourite places!

[@rebekahbridges-tervydis5054]

One of the prettiest videos I’ve seen. From you or anyone. Thanks for taking us along!

[@KaraandNate]

Thank you ❤️

[@singingknightengale]

Its beyond trippy to see you guys in my own backyard. Grew up with pilgrimages to Banff and Lake Louise and every time was so special, its such a gorgeous place! Can't wait to see the rest of this trip, especially to see your day in Calgary!

[@shirellerofman2030]

kara is so sweet! her smile just lights up the whole room that shes in, or in this case, the whole van!!! i luv u both❤️

[@missyrosenberry5293]

2 years late but gonna comment anyways.... some of my fondest memories growing up were driving as a family of 5 in my dad's semi truck from Pennsylvania to British Columbia Canada. We did it quite a few times and we would drive through Banff and Jasper Parks and the scenery was always so incredible. Probably the most beautiful place I've ever been- Alaska being a close second. This video made me re- live some of those memories again. I still remember the beauty of Lake Louis. We have a picture framed at home that the reflection is so clear that you literally can turn the picture upside down and can't tell the difference. Thank you Kara and Nate for helping me relive parts of my childhood

[@Nomadkeyur]

Canada is beautiful place but the way you guys explore and show it to us even more delightful to watch🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@splatmacpuffin]

My new favourite Kara and Nate video. The video shooting and editing around Lake Louise and the trails is incredible ! It was quite obvious how much you enjoyed your time there as well. Awesome!

[@johnscanlon3362]

You are making me increasingly proud of my country. The sock gloves were a great idea, obviously the precursor to mittens.

[@tamarakunzler6586]

Those snowcrunch sounds gave me so much comfort

[@sacsa84]

I must say this is one of the most amazing videos you have done! Amazing!

[@carrieleslie903]

The sun through the trees, glistening on the snow--glorious!

[@PratirupaSarkar]

This is undoubtedly one of the most amazing scenic beauty on your channel. I truly love how you record and edit these. Keep going guys. You're FABULOUS !! :* :*

[@KaraandNate]

You think?! 😍👏😁 Thank you!

[@chrisrandall2710]

It’s canada, sorry come see it

[@dawndevereux263]

😊

[@martinc.720]

SO glad that you had such a great time in 🇨🇦!! The whole country is absolutely beautiful, but the Rockies are very special. To hear you conpare this hike to the one on Mt. Everest made me so proud of my country!

[@nathanwidjaja3652]

I love how real you guys keep it, saying what goes on in the background. been following you guys since the beginning! ~Nathan (13 years old from sunny Florida :)

[@WanderfulRevolution]

VAN LIFE!!! So glad you guys are trying it out! We have been living full-time in our Airstream RV, traveling the USA for the last 3 years and we LOVE it! We love you guys! You are amazing and have been such an inspiration for us starting our KZbin channel and sharing our adventures! Always excited when your videos come out!

[@KaraandNate]

Awesome guys!! We could probably learn a few things from you 😂

[@WanderfulRevolution]

Oh and BANFF!!! 😍We are hoping to make our own travels up there in our RV very soon!

[@WanderfulRevolution]

@@KaraandNate Anytime you need a lesson or need help, let us know! It's a big learning curve! But it's a blast!

[@OwainDavies98]

The Lake Agnes Tea House Hike was one of my favourite experiences ever! The view is so beautiful and the hike up the mountain is lovely - highly recommend going in the summer though, Lake Louise looks even better!

[@larrybothe8246]

Lake Louise is one of the most memorable places to visit. In my teens I backpacked the mountains nearby in the summer, including Mt Fairview, which overlooks the lake and the Chateau. I also visited the the lake in winter and was amazed at how much the snow muffled sound. Thnx for reminding me how beautiful that area really is. I haven’t been there since the mid ‘70s..!!

[@ArabianLady]

Just gorgeous , thanks for sharing with us! I'm like you Kara, but when my hubby wakes me up for a beautiful sunrise it's always worth it! 😊

[@sasha1192]

this video is so cool!!! i’ve lived 3 1/2 hours away by car from lake louise my whole life and always forget how much it’s appreciated internationally! i’m sososososo lucky to be so close but it’s amazing to get to see other people enjoying it as well

[@yn3481]

This is top 5 videos that you have ever done!!! So beautiful! Stunning!

[@brendaryan306]

Banff is by far one of my favorite places in the world. Camping in July up the mountain next to Banff we woke up to a snow-covered tent while it was just drizzling in Banff. Best bread and soup at the Lake Louise Tea House. Thank you for the sunrise video shots, too.

[@mashpotatoes7632]

Makes me so happy that you are so blown away by the bit of world I live in. Canada is vast - hope you come back to see all the other marvelous destinations.

[@jesshove2954]

Did anyone else notice at 11:46 they went from Bubbly cans to a few seconds later Kara had on a warmer jacket and they coffee cups in their hands. Good editing Kara, because that was a fun trick of hand.

[@voganfamilyblog788]

I love seeing how nice the water is at 3:36 Thanks for the nice vid.

[@mariaandbryan]

Wow that time lapse is so captivating. And there’s so many people!! More than I was expecting. Walmart is the vanlife and rvers best friends...! We learned that pretty quick

[@annesikora7704]

Your cinematography was amazing and really showed the beauty of the winter wonderland! Great job

[@Psychphuq]

😍 Sooo pretty... Snow plus blue skies and you have a winner...! (Love the contrast) 😎 View of sunrise over the mountains 👌

[@rachelmacneil7496]

I know this video was three years ago but as a resident of canada my absolute favourite place is to go to p.e.i. That is where you will meet the definition of "the nice Canadian" it is such a laid back fishing environment with amazing history and the best red sand beaches in Canada !

[@islandgirlejfan]

What I really love is that besides enjoying your travels (something my hubby and I love as well!) is that Nate brings Kara her coffee....I'm blessed to have a hubby that has been doing that for almost 40 years of marriage! Keep having fun! :)

[@amelia7781]

Love the snow, it just makes the landscapes look so stunning in winter time! These shots makes me totally miss the winter in Finland as at the moment we are in Germany and here it's only raining... Enjoy guys!

[@russellewis3331]

I live 2 hours from the Rockies and I'd love to visit Finland and Iceland, oh and India.

[@roymarven1736]

i am anglo french-canadian but have never visited canada. having seen the beauty of winter there has made me decide that, that has to be addressed. wow.

[@tricialos]

every single shot in this video is STUNNING!!!!

[@KaraandNate]

RIGHT😍

[@Ian_Hay]

All kidding aside, and I know this visit happened a couple months ago, but I’m glad you guys (and your non-Canadian viewers) got to see the Canadian Rockies and Banff National Park so up close and personal. Truly one of the most jaw-dropping, drop-dead gorgeous parts of this country. Enjoy.

[@KaraandNate]

It's hard to imagine how nature could be any more beautiful!

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

That's probably one of the prettiest videos you have posted. Congratulations.

[@bridgettleigh2912]

Snow hiking is the most peaceful thing ever

[@VetericusNoire]

I feel like I've lived the past 2 years with you guys. And I really have! Thank you! I really do appreciate all the hard work you put into your videos. I'm the sweetest guy underneath it all. keep going!

[@heathershobe3694]

Soooo gorgeous and majestic!! That shot at the 7 min mark with the snow glimmering in the sun was 👌🏼on point!! Stay you 😘

[@akwood14]

I did the Lake Agnes tea house hike and then up little beehive. I love Lake Louise.

[@AleksandarGospic]

Canadian Rockies got to be one of the most beautiful mountains in the world! Aesthetically they are perfection, it is the closest thing I've seen to Dolomites, but it's like Dolomites on steroids, reddish limestone, amazing forest, so many lakes and streams.

[@russellewis3331]

Jasper Alberta north of Banff has blue, grey, black, folded, layered but tilted mountains, many different types. Since the Rockies are such young mountains they are still sharp and angular and with cold temperatures accumulate lots of snow. The rest of Alberta ranges from mountain to prairie, boreal forest (millions of miles) to desert hoodoos filled with dinosaurs. There is even a place where desert Sand dunes are overtaking a forest and in winter you can lay in sand at -35c beside 2feet of snow!

[@ItsSeanzie]

The music in this video fits this setting and cinematography so well! Banff is stunning, I can’t wait to see it for myself 😍

[@TobyFoot1]

I live in Lake Louise and was really hoping to bump into you guys! I'm really glad you guys visited and enjoyed it, as always you gave a great perspective on the area!

[@tristakeder9973]

I started watching your videos a couple weeks ago and LOVE them! You guys are so real and authentic! I love the music choices and the editing is phenomenal. And wow braving it in the snow without gloves YIKESS

[@ricknash3055]

It's really been a treat to be taken along to explore the Banff area from your perspective. Thanks for the awesome trip!

[@stephaniegruenberg7044]

Beautiful walk down to the lake for sunrise and beautiful lake pictures. Excellent innovation, Kara, with using socks as mittens. Looked like a beautiful hike.

[@0411nugget]

without a doubt - nothing more beautiful than the Rockies!!!

[@heronimousbrapson863]

0411nugget The selkirks and the coast mountains in British Columbia are beautiful as well.

[@richaelcampbell5492]

Oh I love you guys so much I really hope I get to meet you guys one day I live in BC and I drive on that highway all the time to go to tournaments and stuff and it’s so funny because they’re so surprised about all the snow meanwhile Every time you want to go to a cabin or a tournament we have to drive through that and I guess I didn’t really think about how grateful we are for having snow because some people don’t get to see that every day:)

[@richaelcampbell5492]

I know this video is old but I hope you guys get to see this if you ever come back to BC literally every mountain in BC says avalanche warning even in the summer it’s just because we have lots of steep mountains whatever trail that was you could’ve probably done it a fact about one of the highways in BC I’m pretty sure of the cocahalla a mountain fell and killed people and they had to start a new highway around it and if you drove by it you wouldn’t even notice because it’s all trees and rocks

[@richaelcampbell5492]

Another fun fact the trees with lots of snow on them and you can barely see the green we called them snow ghosts

[@elliecosgrove5349]

So fun! I love that they always see the bright side of things!

I am so incredibly jealous! Banff National Park has always been a dream of mine to visit. I have a bachelors degree in Environmental Science and Geology and from the very beginning of college I began to study the National Park and all of its history! This has just made me want to visit even more! ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! hope you enjoyed every moment of it!

[@ebonymccusker1034]

This insane camera work and Kara's editing is so damn amazing. By far the best editing I've seen on KZbin

[@AnneEWilliamson]

It's all so breathtaking! And cold. There's something haunting about the loneliness of a forest covered with snow.

[@MrsJMatthews]

Wow! Looks absolutely beautiful! Banff is definitely on my bucket list.

This lake in the summer is the most beautiful color...

[@madisonvercher4624]

Okay, so I live in Oregon (in a small town on the boarder of Oregon and Washington) So we get snow like this every year! And it has been so neat to watch you guys experience the snow and the mountains which is something I see all the time and something that I also probably take for granted. ❤️ love you guys!

[@russellewis3331]

From one of your Alberta neighbours, aren't we very lucky!!

[@EdwardFielding]

Looks great with the snow. I was there for a week in August and it was rainy and overcast the whole time. And yeah, gloves and snow go well together.

[@jimgreen3966]

There are several more amazingly blue lakes in the Jasper/Banff area. One I visited back in '84 on my return solo drive from Alaska was Peyto (PEA-toe) Lake. Regarding the bear problem, if you talk loudly, and/or make noise, you're usually going to be safe from even seeing one, let alone getting attacked, since they don't like running into us, either. Regarding the necessity for the tea house staff to backpack in all of the food, as you may know already, at Grand Canyon, it's brought in by mule train, and down the river about 50 miles at Havasu (HAH-vah-sue) Canyon, it comes in by horse. To clarify for viewers, the bridges at around 12:15 are for animals in that they can walk over the top, rather than getting creamed by trying to cross the highway. Take note of the trees on the overpass.

[@inkjob12]

My God...so beautiful. A true winter wonder land. Your lucky you did not need chains for the van. Happy Holidays you two...

[@meghanf2012]

I love seeing people's joy at seeing snow for the first time/not being from somewhere where you regularly get snow. I'm usually cursing every snowflake for being such a nuisance but it reminds me to try to appreciate things and see life from a different perspective.
