Epic 10-Day Road Trip Through the Canadian Rockies! [Banff, Jasper, Waterton, Calgary, Edmonton]

[@DyanK614]

What a wonderful video! As an Eastern Canadian, it was a great snapshot of what the West has to offer. I hope Jasper recovers quickly. I hope the new kittens are doing well!

[@WereintheRockies]

Thank you, and we hope Jasper recovers quickly, too.

[@VentureThrills]

The Canadian Rockies are absolutely breathtaking! This video perfectly captures the epic beauty of Banff, Jasper, and beyond. 🏔🚗

[@AM-sd7jt]

I love Canada and the Canadian people. This Country stole my ❤

[@lynnboucher222]

The Rockies.. probably my favourite place!! Such beauty from God!! ❤️

[@Annie-cv1uq]

Excellent video. Really well done. Helpful and enjoyable. Thank you!!

[@AplinsintheAlps]

This road trip looks so epic! Pretty sure we would enjoy nearly every single thing on this list. Another great video, friends!

[@christieo2739]

This area is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever been to!

[@WereintheRockies]

It really is!

[@kcsnew]

Been your long time subscriber and follower, your videos have been always helpful, it was very handy for me when I visited Yellowstone national park few years ago, now this is yet another informative video very inspiring me to plan a trip to Calgary and Banff. Cheers 👏

[@WereintheRockies]

We hope it helps you plan a great trip! Thanks for all the views.

[@kjf63]

I live in Vancouver, and have done the road trips amongst Jasper, Banff, Kananaskis, and Waterton Lakes, as recently as this September… Your video makes me wanna go again! I never get tired of it

[@WereintheRockies]

It is a great area, isn't it?

[@TravelAroundTheWorld99-e5u]

From hidden gems to famous landmarks, discover the wonders of the world with us, one breathtaking trip at a time

[@terryzanger7152]

What a refreshing family and video. You guys are always having fun. Thanks for visiting Canada. Cheers from Yukon

[@WereintheRockies]

Thanks for watching!

[@Shanquarts]

I’ve been watching your videos for quite some time, and they helped my partner and I plan our trip through Utah this past fall It’s been really neat to see you in our backyard, but I can’t believe you didn’t like poutine. That is classic Canadian cuisine 😂😂 Hope that Canada treated you well!

[@normtulsiani3895]

Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for this fantastic video 👍

[@WereintheRockies]

My pleasure 😊

[@warwickerskine]

Great video guys, probably the best I have seen of the area. I have been to this part of the Rockies and so nice to again see the places I visited.

[@WereintheRockies]

Thank you!

[@Dovid2000]

34:02 Truly like a Garden of Eden!

[@IlisapeciKaitavu]

Thanks for sharing your family's wonderful vacation with your viewers. Amazing sceneries and the mountains and lakes are so breathtaking. Just wondering how much did the entire trip cost? I can only dream of taking my family on a vacation like this.

[@betteandlinuskuboushek409]

I'm new to your channel. We have been wanting to go to Banff for years; just hasn't worked out. Now we are planning for next year. We had thought it would be too much work to do it ourselves and had been looking at guided tours. But after seeing your video, we think we could do this! Thanks for all the great info.

[@WereintheRockies]

Yes! You can do it yourself! If you want to visit Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, make sure to book your shuttle accommodations as early as possible. They are in high demand and can be hard to get. See our article for more information: wereintherockies.com/get-from-banff-to-lake-louise/

[@vujicvladimir5917]

BEAUTIFUL!!! THANK YOU😊👍 🇺🇸🇷🇸🇨🇦

[@TheSLK66]

Just came back from Jasper and Banff, truly heart breaking to see how much the fire destroyed. But I can definitely say that the trip from Banff to Jasper is worth it. Happy to have contributed a little to their economy so they can rebuild. I had been there before too in summer, and I definitely thought Jasper had more incredible scenery once you get to the hiking trails.

[@WereintheRockies]

It's so sad. We'll be visiting in September and are anxious to see Jasper too.

[@elaineflohr9145]

Thanks for this video! That last part on th3 boat trip was awesome. Something I didn’t get to see when we did our 1996trip to US and Canada. Banff was very different. Was bears around the town. We went to Calgary Stampede and Sulphur mountain and did see the view. Canada was very beautiful I loved the Us too. So very expensive now!

[@gbphil]

Just tuned in to see if relevant to an upcoming Vancouver to Yellowstone road trip, Banff though beautiful looks a bit off the beaten track. In your Banff chateau hotel feature, you mentioned Queen Elizabeth has stayed there. In fact it is Queen Elizabeth, ‘first lady’ to King George VI, Rex, standing to her left. Since 1953, she was referred to as Queen Elizabeth, the Queen’s Mother. Easy viewing, nicely done. 😎😇

[@cormacsage7126]

Wow beautiful Canada

[@WereintheRockies]

Yes it was!

[@ziaurrahman2645]

What a wonderful family! I’m new to your channel, coming all the way from Bangladesh, and I must say, this video is fantastic! I really enjoyed it and found it very inspiring. My kids also loved watching it with me. I’m definitely going to take notes on this trip and hope to experience something similar with my family. Keep up the great work!❤

[@WereintheRockies]

I'm happy you liked it and glad that it gave you some inspiration for a future trip.

[@ednakrueger8381]

I’d have my art journal out sketching everything

[@ColMadden]

We loved your video. Thanks for sharing.

[@EricMcDurmon]

Thank you so much for the video! We are planning an RV trip to Alaska and the goal is to hit this region of Canada on the way up. we traveled to glacier this summer to celebrate my retirement from teaching. It is such a beautiful area and you do a great job teaching people how to experience all the beauty, love the videos.

[@WereintheRockies]

You're welcome!

[@HarryYue]

What a happy families, it is a great video, I like it

[@WereintheRockies]

Thank you 🤗

[@c.alcazar2584]

Wow, what a wonderful trip I haven't been to that area but seen a lot of picts, it is a gorgeous area if Canada what a shame about the wildfire, hopefully they will rebuild soon, glad noone died, your children are so lucky, traveling to all those beautiful places... Have you been to the Albuquerque Ballon Fiesta is really nice.....stay safe on your travels

[@WereintheRockies]

We have not been to the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. Sounds fun, though.

[@IAmThePrepper]

Wow. Going to make note on this trip and hope someday we can do that.

[@WereintheRockies]

I hope you can.

[@meilechshreiber]

well done clear and calm thanks

[@AceVisionTrek]

Amazing video

[@ednakrueger8381]

Jasper will go on my list!

[@ErmiaAghaie]

Amazing 🤩🤩🤩 🤩🤩 🤩

[@deejay1171]

Great video

[@steveray8056]

What a wonderful trip. Thanks for bringing back memories for me and my wife. Just a little note, when you were visiting the legislative building in Edmonton you mis-labelled the painting of Queen Mary as Queen Victoria. Queen Victoria was the mother of King Edward and Queen MAry was his wife. Again. So enjoyed watching this with my wife.

[@WereintheRockies]

Thanks for the correction!

[@lindaferguson495]

Loved your video! When were you there? This has been on our bucket list and trying to decide the best time to go.

[@alankirkby465]

@lindaferguson495 Hello Linda, I'm English, I live in England, UK I once visited Banff/ Jasper, Number of years ago. I visited early September, Snow on the Rockies, makes them even more attractive ( just saying, in my personal view ) Peace to all.

[@WereintheRockies]

We were there in August and loved it. This year we are going in September.

[@Ccadventure384]

Beautiful

[@WereintheRockies]

Thanks! We agree!

[@cf-kw5qo]

Planning to do this trip next summer

[@WereintheRockies]

Yay!

[@Wiscoguy262]

You could’ve left poutine out of it…as a Wisconsinite I’m offended

[@WereintheRockies]

Lol. We know many people who love it... it just wasn't our thing. ❤️

[@SuzanMiller-ou5kq]

Have always wanted to go there

[@WereintheRockies]

You should! It's amazing.

[@thechristmasvillager7255]

What month did you go on this trip? We like your vlog..very informative and interesting

[@RoamingRelaxation]

Wow, this road trip through the Canadian Rockies looks absolutely stunning! The mix of Banff, Jasper, and Waterton must have been breathtaking. Out of all the stops, which one surprised you the most or felt the most underrated? I’m planning a trip and would love to hear your insider tips!

[@WereintheRockies]

They are all outstandingly beautiful. Maligne Lake and Canyon is Jasper was especially breath-taking but I’m not sure how it looks now after the fires. Waterton is wonderful but it’s lowest on the priority list of those 3 places. It’s more like a lake town. Hope that helps : )

[@lisamacneil9050]

We're new to your channel and have watched a few of your videos but this one is AWESOME! What camera and model # do you all use? Thanks!

[@WereintheRockies]

Thanks for watching!! I use an iPhone 14 Pro!

[@lisamacneil9050]

@@WereintheRockies Oh. Okay thank u! ❤

[@imransharif443]

Good Banff beautiful nice looking

[@DnndKdndn]

Thank you for this video! Where did you guys stay for the entire trip? Multiple hotels? Any recs?

[@WereintheRockies]

We stayed in Lobstick Lodge (Jasper) and Banff Gate Mountain Resort (outside Banff). Some of our followers say Solara Resort, Hidden Ridge Resort, and Cascade Chalet are great.

[@Ed-R]

Thankfully but Unfortunately, 30% of Jasper Townsite burned down. The Townsite partially reopened last week. The wildfires are under control in the National Park. Was this trip from last year? I remember watching most of the video from earlier this year. When going to Banff, we always by-pass Cal'n'Gary. I prefer Jasper over Banff. 👋🏻 from Alberta, Canada.

[@WereintheRockies]

Yes, it is devastating! This video was shot in August 2023.

[@SilentTechWorld]

🎉❤

[@Capo51]

Nice video , thnx. A great area for a holiday. But uff, that processed food they offer there, in big portions. No wonder so many ppl there are overweight. It' s s killer, in true sense of the word.

[@pbtenenterprisesltd8175]

Which month you visited?

[@AJGUNNER]

Here's an interesting tidbit, did you know that same Canadians who own the West Edmonton Mall, also own The Mall of America. Hmmmm

[@jenniferdiehl1904]

I'm watching and I'm at the gondola and I notice you have a cloud. It sucks I would love to have a beautiful clear, sunny day, where everything's crystal. Clear you're and it's funny because that happened to me in Switzerland when I went to see the matter horn. And we get there and the matter horn. The whole entire area set for one side was nothing but a cloud. I was going to go back down the mountain and give up. But I did not. I went in had dinner expensive spaghetti dinner $22. But the whole hunter side of the mountain that was cloudy cleared up. I got beautiful pictures. I got pictures of eagles flying around and the big crows. And I got awesome pictures of. The matter worn and go figure the next day. I came out of my hotel room onto the balcony and I'm not lying clear as day the matter horn. And it looked like it was golden. Grace brown, the Sun was shining on it. And I'm not lying. You could literally felt like you could touch it. It was a better luck than being up on the glacier. Go figure by hope everything clears up for you guys. I'm still watching awesome so far as always. I envy you.😂❤😮😊

[@WereintheRockies]

Yeah, the cloud was disappointing and is one of our mistakes on the trip but we still had a great time. I'm glad you got some great pictures of the Matterhorn.

[@EZ2XLR8]

What was the company used for the Bow River float adventure?

[@WereintheRockies]

We used Rocky Mountain Raft Tours

[@csganley]

Not sure if you'll know this, but I'll ask.....Do you know where to rent a car from in Calgary and return it to Glacier or vice versa? So far, I have not found a rental company that allows returning in a different country. Thanks!

[@WereintheRockies]

We have not researched it but we suspected it would be a problem. Would really love to hear from you if you find a solution for this.

[@csganley]

@@WereintheRockies Thanks! I was just looking at your itineraries and they seem pretty detailed. I've never bought someone's itinerary because I do all our planning, and I spend many hours getting all the details in, so I don't doubt the work you've put into them. I'm seriously considering it. Seems like a great time saver. Once I solve the car problem, I'll be back. I just hate to backtrack 5+ hours. Any suggestions would be appreciated. We're coming from SW FL so we have to fly.

[@WereintheRockies]

I hear you - I dislike backtracking also. I literally just typed up a super helpful document tying Banff, Glacier, and Jasper together. We are going to put it on our website in about a week or two. Stay tuned.

[@ArnoldPeterSon]

How does someone travel Banff and Jasper without a car? Can anyone share an itinerary?

[@alankirkby465]

@ArnoldPeterSon Hello Arnold, I'm English, I live in England, UK. Many years ago I was in Banff, I caught a Bus in Banff, which went directly to Jasper. Returned to Banff, few days later by Bus to Banff. Few days later then caught another Bus to Calgary Airport. Hopefully this Transportation is on-going. Peace to all.

[@WereintheRockies]

We have an itinerary but it is easiest to execute if you have a car. However, public transit is available but we do not have the details on it. wereintherockies.com/store/

Hey Guys. Is there anybody that lives in Banff or Canmore? I am from Germany and iam in Canada right now with my classmate. We are doing our work and travel year here and we wanted to stay in banff or canmore this winter to work there and see the National parks. But its soo expensive. Can anybody give me a few example for a cheap place to stay or a place where we can work? Thx in advance.

[@WereintheRockies]

Good luck finding something. I hope someone can help you find something.

[@Itisnotluckitisskill]

Ya well as a Canadian who used to visit Banff often..., it has become the same as the rest of Canada. You better not take one step or camp where you are not designated too. The Park Rangers are rude and ignorant in Banff and Field areas. Never go back to that expensive place.

Mate, you missed the best parts from Banff and Jasper… it’s golf courses.

[@jaretzaslow1449]

I like your videos, but my hometown pride is forcing me to do one tiny fact check. The world’s largest easel is from Altona MB, not Alberta. So I don’t think you went there 😆 I can see the mix up. It’s about a 2 hour drive from Winnipeg.

[@clintwhite3021]
