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. 💕

Thanks for watching our videos! We appreciate the support 🙏😊 stoked that you’re planning a Canadian Rockies hiking trip. We’ve done all 3 of those that you mentioned (Assiniboine, lake O’Hara, berg lake) and they all offer a different experience and have different degrees of planning / booking needed. All of the camping needs to be booked in advance and the spots go quick. We were lucky and just showed up at berg lake on our way to Jasper and there was a cancellation of a campsite at Kinney Lake. So for that one, we took the Kinney lake camp spot and then did the whole 30km up to berg lake and back as a day hike. Lake O’Hara is also hard to get camping sites, but if you can secure one, it’s probably the best views you will see in the Rockies in our opinion. You can also do a hike up to Opabin Plateau as a day hike from the parking lot if you can’t secure camping, but it’s another 30 km day hike 😅 Finally, Mt. Assiniboine… this was our favorite multi-day backpacking trip throughout our two years hiking in the Rockies! It’s much more wild and less people since it’s basically 100+ km over a 3-5 day period depending on how long you stay and what day hikes you do from the campgrounds. We have a whole video on Mt. Assiniboine on our channel as well as a blog post on our website about it where we go fully in-depth on the planning for it, the best route to take, and how it looked as well as how to book your camping there. We also have blog posts on our website about Berg Lake Trail and Lake O’Hara. Just some useful info to check out that might be helpful if you are planning for them.

You should be fine alone in Banff as the trails are pretty busy. September is still a good time and you might see the larches as well. Some trails (like larch valley trail) will require you to hike in groups at that time of the year as the bears will be close to hibernation again

You will love Banff! So many great hikes there. For tips, we would recommend definitely bringing bear spray on any hike and know how to use it. Also, try to go on the busier trails since they have more people on them and tend to have less bears. Make lots of noise while walking so the bears know you’re coming. And finally, if you have the option to hike with 4 or more people, then that’s best. We did it with only two people for most of these trails and were fine but did see a couple bears ourselves out there.

Were there any limits to the group hiking size when you went? I am planning to go there with my husband end of August but I think some hikes need to have min 4 people

@worldwildhearts

2 жыл бұрын

For the hikes listed here in this video, the only ones that required 4 people in August when we were there were the Larch Valley Trail and Mount Assiniboine. However, if you get closer to the end of august, the bears are more active because they’re getting closer to hibernation. So if you have the option to have 4 people even on the trails that don’t necessarily require them, its better to be safe if you can. Definitely bring your bear spray on all these hikes no matter how big your group size is

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.

@worldwildhearts

Жыл бұрын

Time is always for the full hike, so there and back. Medium difficulty might be because of the lenght or steepness. Like Healy Pass was very long in distance, but not in elevation change so it was fairly easy to hike. Both Big Beehive and Larch Valley are steeper and require good fitness, but the trail is very wide and well-maintained so it's easy on that part! If your kids are in good shape, they can definitely do it! We saw many kids and teenagers hiking with their parents on those trails.

Very helpful video, been planning my vacation for months (anxiously waiting for Canadian/US border to re-open). Very well done. I'd really love to see a breakdown of some of these hikes, in terms of how the trails are. In your first hike, you mention clear paved and well marked paths, but leave out information on trail quality for other hikes. Just being constructive. For myself, I'd like to ask about Cirque Peak. How was the hike? I notice many people climbing loose rock towards the peak. How was the trail up until that loose rock? Does the time given include the peak? Lastly, are there any good (and cheap) hotels nearby? Just need a place to crash overnight, outside of Banff and Calgary.

Thanks for watching! Glad you found it helpful. For cheap places near Banff, the best option is honestly camping at one of the nearby campgrounds.

Yes bears can be dangerous. Especially the grizzlies. But in general we didn’t have any issues with them ourselves. Some protection measures we took were: carry bear spray on every hike and know how to use it, make noise every few minutes so the bears know you are there, don’t leave your food out next to you for too long, keep your distance from bears when you see them and back away slowly while keeping your eye on them at all times. You can also hike in groups of 4 or more if you’re not comfortable with bears. It would be very rare for a bear to attack a group of 4+ people.
