Amazing it looks like you had no one around you at many stops. The glaciers glass floor was amazing. How lucky to be only ones on it. The color of each lake is beautiful. Great video !!

I think I might make them as a downloadable for people to use as they plan their trip. I would also LOVE to go to Australia and New Zealand! Hopefully, the budget will allow more travel in the future as we continue to grow.

    Canada is a beautiful place. I am grateful that this is only a 3.5h drive from where I live. You must come back when forest fire smoke doesn't dull down the views. If you do return to Jasper, you should go up to Edith Cavell!! It is a fantastic experience that will be remembered for a lifetime! FYI (maybe leave the drone at home. It is illegal in national parks, and the fine is $25,000!! Eek!! ) They do actually charge people. For anyone asking when to go: high season is basically from the May long weekend through the labour day weekend. If you have kids, I would book later in the summer when the sun sets at a more reasonable hour

    Hey there! Thank you so much for the recommendations and for watching! I’ll have to keep that in mind if we ever do plan a return trip. We loved Jasper, so I’ll make sure to keep a note about Edith Cave. Sounds right up my alley! We didn’t bring a drone. What you may have thought were drone shots were actually coming from our Insta360 X3 on an invisible selfie stick. You can see me carrying it in the background of several shots like at 12:47 , 21:07 and at 20:40 you can see it in the reflection of the skywalk. We do love that it gives you drone-like shots…without a drone.

    Hi there! Thank you so much! I’m so happy our video could help you plan. If you put in Lake Louise in your GPS, it’ll take you straight to the parking lot. You’ll start to see signs as you get closer.

    @@ChrissaTravels great thanks! I saw in the video it was hard to secure a spot, so I’m assuming there is no reservation. Two remaining questions: 1 - is there a fee in this parking lot you guys used? 2 - to get the shuttle to lake Moraine did you drive to park and ride and got a shuttle from there? Tks again :)

    High season runs from mid-June through to the end of the labour day weekend. Book well ahead of time, especiallyif your trip includes a weekend. Things get much quieter after Thanksgiving, and that's when some roads get closed due to snow at higher elevations.

    Hi there! You should be fine in July. We went the very last week of August. But, you may want to bring one just in case…especially if you’re planning on going up to the top of any mountains. It’s warm during the day, but the nights and the top of the mountains tend to be cold.

    great video! I will be following your itinerary. Just want to ask if you guys didn't have a hard time charging your Tesla going to Jasper and back. I am thinking of renting a Tesla but just want to make sure charging on the way will not be a hassle. Thank you again for your wonderful video.

    Hi there! Thank you so much! I'm so happy that you enjoyed the video. We didn't have any issues with the Tesla on our trip. When we picked it up, our Hertz agent told us that there is a super charger in Canmore and another one in Jasper. There are a few chargers in Banff, but they're really, really slow and difficult to get to. When you put in your destination, it'll tell you how much charge you'll have by the time you get there. So, you can know if you have enough charge to make it to your destination or not or if you have to charge it up. But, as long as you have it fully charged in Canmore on the way up to Jasper, and fully charged before you leave Jasper, you'll be fine! :)

    Hi there! Thank you so much! I’m happy you enjoyed the video! When we picked up the Tesla, our Hertz agent told us that there was a super charger in Canmore and then another one in Jasper. So, as long as we had it fully charged before heading up the Icefields Parkway that we’d be fine. Plus, when you put in your destination in the Navigation system it told you how much of a charge you would have left by the time you made it to your destination. So, we knew if we had enough charge to make it there and back or if we had to top it off. Overall, we didn’t have any trouble! ☺️ I hope you have an incredible trip!!

    It wasn’t too bad! There is a super charger in Canmore right before you hit Banff, and then another one in Jasper right as you enter the town. So, if you top up in Canmore, you will make it to Jasper with no issues if you get the extended range like we did. There were chargers in Banff, but they were difficult to get to, and were always packed…plus, they were really slow!! I highly recommend just using the super charger in Canmore. There are no super chargers on the ice fields parkway, so you’ll want to make sure that you’re fully charged before heading up. But, there aren’t any gas stations either…so, you’ll have to top up anyway even if you get a gas vehicle. Regardless, we really enjoyed having the Tesla. It didn’t make any noise, so it wouldn’t startle the wildlife as we slowly drove by.
