I just returned from my own Banff trip so this was fun to watch to see how your experience was different. We also stayed at Fairmont Lake Louise and loved it. The lake view was spectacular! We also love the afternoon tea but was sadly disappointed in the food at Louiza. The Lakeview Lounge was okay but we loved a cocktail they had called the Lakeview which was the color of the lake, a beautiful blue. Also, in Banff we were so disappointed in the food quality at The Grizzly House. We will gladly warn others not to go for overpriced and low quality food. Fun fact though, each table has a phone so diners can call each other. The owner was a swinger so he added phones to all the tables so that the extra fun couples could call each other. It’s on the back of the menu and our waitress confirmed it. We didn’t like the food but we had fun testing out the phones to make sure they work and they really did. Instructions on the back of the menu. Haha!!!

Highly suggest for your next Banff trip. And our absolute favorite meal was at The Bison. Great service, cocktails and the food was comparable to the best restaurants we have in LA. We had the octopus app, roasted broccoli, and tomahawk steak. Everything we ate was the best we ever had. Being from SoCal I’m sure you agree, many restaurants while traveling can disappoint but we were so impressed by The Bison. You must bookmark it. 😉

Absolutely fantastic video! Sorry you missed Heritage Park, it’s awesome. The Waldhaus Restaurant at Banff Springs Hotel is so much better for fondue than Grizzly House (which used to be good in the 70s). It’s nice you included Calgary as well. Even off season, the cost must have substantial to say the least even with the great exchange rate for Americans. Lastly, coming from sea level to this much higher altitude, you did great as it can feel exhausting until the body adjusts. Oddly too, food has less flavour punch at higher altitudes. Glad to have found your channel!

"Canada Geese" refers to the specific species of geese like those Chris found under the Peace Bridge. "Canadian Geese" refers to any of various types of geese found around Canada. So, referring to the geese under the Peace Bridge as "Canadian Geese" was not wrong but more specifically, they are "Canada Geese".

Thanks for that clarification DoomGoober!

Canada formally switched to metric on April 1, 1975...no April Fool's joke, I swear. Typically, the only signs still using miles predate April 1, 1975, as I suspect may be the case with the Johnston Canyon sign. In 1926 the Walter Camp family bought the log teahouse and developed the bungalows around it; they got approval from the Banff Park superintendent to build a pony trail to the upper falls and that was completed by 1930. I don't know when the wooden sign with miles on it was actually created, but I suspect it was either before 1975, or that the current sign is a refurbished or replacement sign that kept the distance in miles for sentimental reasons.
