I have only done 2 of these hikes and I agree with Assiniboine! We backpacked it over 5 days and it is still one of the most beautiful places i have ever seen. Big Beehive is amazing too, I wanted to do the Devil’s Thumb as well, will have to go back for that. Cirque peak looks amazing! It’s on my extended list.
I would also add Eiffel Lake (at Moraine Lake). It’s an underrated hike and gives you really amazing views of the Valley of the 10 peaks! And of course, Lake O’hara. Was lucky enough to do that one in 2019 but we got rained on most of the time. Opabin lookout is something else.
Beauty !! loved how you did the animations. what program did you used if I may ask? Thanks for sharing
Hi, thank you for sharing😊 may I know which month did you take to Bug Beehive hike, I am planning to Banff in mid September to do some hike and would like to know the temperature around the trial for preparation
Stunning view! Thanks 😊
Back in the mid-1980s I hiked up the Cirque Peak / Helen Lake trail especially to photograph a Hoary Marmot family. But as I was on my stomach, the baby marmots all squeaked and dove for the rocks. A few seconds later a WOLVERINE ran up and stopped about 30 metres away. Had incredible experience watching. It couldn’t figure out what I was since I was on my stomach. It stayed for close to a minute before leaving.
❤❤❤
Where was the last photo taken?
This is so awesome !!
I m planning to go Benff at the end of May to celebrate my 60 years birthday with my friends.
Isn’t it hard to hike for my age ?
I can’t wait to go there 😂
Tunnel mountain I don’t think is in the same league as the others like Cirque Peak.
Nicely done 👏👏👏
Where is the trail head for healy pass?
Thank you so much for your help!
Is it possible to see the northern lights there?
Great summary! Appreciate the feedback. We will be going this year and will probably do most of these hikes.
One of the places I most wanted to visit but never made it, not even a remote possiblity now as I became permanently disabled a little over three years ago, but I truly appreciate the beauty that you’ve shown me with this video, THANK YOU!
Guys thanks for such amazing video. Looking for Mt Assiniboine hike. Is there any options how to get back to “Sunshine Village” after finished? Thank you!!!❤❤❤
Just getting into hiking. What do you take with you in the event of bears or wolf attacks ?
Obrigado pelas belas imagens. Vocês fizeram um trabalho lindo! Parabéns! Quero conhecer esse parque ainda esse ano se Deus permitir.
This is great! Is there a video without the music that I can listen to?
When you post the times for the hikes is that round trip? There and back? Also, travelling with a 10 and 13 yr old boys: would the medium difficulty be too much? Thx for your help.
these trails are often closed due to bear sightings
Are you scared of bears? Do you carry a handgun like a magnum .44?
Wonderful.
Great picks! I’d only add tent ridge within here somewhere! Perhaps Ohara? (haven’t been, only heard good things)
Have you guys considered dropping your google earth KMLs into your website? That would be insanely helpful as well.
i love the video what about cell service there
Stunning views! Is it safe to hike alone? How busy would be in early Sept?
Going to Alberta id participating to the fossil fuels ( Alberta oil, gas, coal ) destroying our canadian forests and wildlife
Thank you for sharing this video I really enjoyed your work. God Bless you two!
Hi, wonderful video and so inspiring! I’m thinking of hiking the Bow Glacier Falls trail. Have you done it and if yes, do you recommend it?
good ideas to make hiking videos. keep up the hard work!
Wonderful video! Thank you for posting. When you are on long day hikes, do you carry a small bear canister for food storage?
I think we need to open up a massive coal mine right beside Moraine Lake.
thank you so much for this video. fantastic work!!! which month did you go to Banff hiking or this video was taking? Thank you,
Amazing video!
Banff is in Alberta the province of fossil fuel contaminating pakes , rivers and destroying our forest and wildlife
Beautiful. I wish I could join you for any of the hike you guys might repeat.
Nice animations! In my opinion, this is the best hike/trail detailed descriptions for anyone visiting the area🎉❤ really cool.
How about mount temple? We got there this summer, the view in the summit is spectacular
Big Beehive is great, but Devil’s Thumb is even better!
ST Hiking In Banff National Park… is a great palace in the world.
Damn. That shot in 9:16 was epic!
Did you find any fossils on your hikes?
Great job capturing the beauty of Banff……we are planning a trip this summer…what time of year was the video shot. Any avalanche issues late spring early summer?
Thanks for the videos – yours are so informative and fun to watch! We are planning a trip to the Canadian Rockies in late June for about 2 weeks. We are fairly experienced long day hikers (12-15 miles) but we are planning to venture into backpacking on this trip. We are starting our training now. Any tips for training and also which backpacking trip is best for experienced hikers/newbie campers? We are looking at Assiniboine, Lake O’Hara and Berg Lake. But open to others as well! We just want to be away from hordes of people. We love to get up early too (4AM starts). Also, I’m obsessed with the ridge hiking in Kananaskis! Your videos are incredible! Looks like Switzerland. 💕
Hi will I able to see wildflowers if I hike Healy Pass in early July? Coming to Banff this summer.
Would you guys recommend using the alltrail app for solo bckpacker?
Love your videos? We are planning to do the Banff Hike this year. What is the best month to do the hikes in Banff? Also in Kananaskis?
Very fantastic please
really love this video, thank you
