    Came to Canada on honeymoon nearly 28 years ago and moved here to Alberta 25 years ago, we love the Rockies and will always be a favourite, although 12 years ago we moved to Vancouver island and just love the scenery.

    I was lucky enough to drive from Montreal to Vancouver many years ago with a friend........it was just at the end of September and when we arrived in Banff the first thing we did was go to Lake Moraine and see The Seven Sisters, which are the 7 peaks that are there and used to be on the back of old Canadian $20 bills........I wept and to this day was one of the most spectacular things I have ever seen...................

    It's been about 20 years since I visited Moraine Lake. I have been there twice. The first time was late July. Arrived at the lake in early afternoon on a bright sunny day. As we walked up to the lake from the parking area below, it took my breath away as we first saw the lake and the mountain peaks going straight up from the lake to the sky. The most beautiful place I have ever been.

    I'm in awe at these natural settings you've captured. I loved your Banff Springs Hotel vid, too, very much! I had no idea that vacationing in luxury could be done on a budget until I ventured to Quebec City and stayed at Le Chateau Frontenac years back. For some reason, I thought that Banff would be out of reach -- now I know it is not, but it's your vids that revealed this great news! I'm now planning a trip to the Banff Springs Hotel.

    When things eventually return to normal, you should try staying (and filming) at this resort during the depths of winter, when it is covered with feet of snow and ice. That would be interesting to see. That applies to all the other resorts you filmed in western Canada too.

      Due to avalanche risk in the road that leads up to the lake the lodge is open only from June 1st to October 1st. Although technically you can still access the area as I don't believe it's closed off you'd have to do so by hiking / biking / snowshoe / ski.

    My guess is you're not a Canadian or an outdoors person. The kayaks in your video are what we Canucks call "canoes" and just how many lodges and hotels have you checked out in the Canadian Rockies? There are dozens as or more beautiful than this one, more serene, just as picturesque, with better cusine and amenities without being tourist traps. Moraine Lake Lodge is certainly nice enough but I would rate it at only 3 1/2 stars and believe for the value offered, it is over-priced.

      There's never been a grizzly attack there. In fact bear attacks are rare, black bears are what I would be more concerned about. No Grizzly is going to be startled coming near the lake. They can hear the people, also they're not about to bring cubs near the lake. Startling and cubs are the biggest reason for bear attacks. It's a national park. You're going to see a lot of wildlife.
