I just came across your channel yesterday and it is truly incredible. Well thought out guides and such great information. Also your production and footage is top notch! Truly better than most travel shows. I can’t wait to recreate this exact trip

[@traveleaz]

Hi there - thank you so much for the lovely comment. That means alot to me. I hope you get to do this trip - or something like it. Lots of driving but boy oh boy, cannot beat the beauty.

Great video! We visited Banff, LL, and the Columbia Icefields Adventure early Sept 2024. We had to rework our itinerary since Jasper was part of our planned visit prior to the wildfires. I can’t wait to get back there. Thanks for posting this video. The only advice I’d give to others is to avoid Banff during Labor Day weekend.

Thank you very much. I do agree about avoiding Banff during the Labor Day weekend - I was there (Banff) during that weekend in 2023 - way too many people and the hotels were even more expensive.
