- If you are looking for a real Rocky Mountains back country adventure, look no further than Kananaskis Provincial Park! Less popular than Banff, but just as beautiful and not so overcrowded. There is definitely so much beauty in Canada when it comes to raw wilderness and so many places in Alberta offer just that. Join me and my Mom for a lovely weekend spent in the backcountry at a gorgeous eco-lodge called Mount Engadine. They have won many awards as one of the best hotels in Canada, so definitely check them out if you are looking for an amazing stay in stunning nature:

I use both of these companies depending on the destination and requirements of entry. If you are going to be abroad for a long time and/or don't need as much coverage, I would recommend SafetyWing. BUT you cannot purchase SafetyWing WHILE in Canada or USA. You can only purchase once already abroad. Hey Mondo is more expensive but offers a higher level of coverage including plans that have trip cancellation/interruption insurance. Hey Mondo would be the better insurance to use if you need travel medical insurance when applying for a visa. Both companies cover covid.

*GOD BLESS MY FAVOURITE TRAVEL TH-camR AND HER MOM!*
Proud to be Canadian!
Loving your Canada series! 🇨🇦
I love it. No skyscrapers, no rush and hustle bustle. Just living in the moment enjoying nature and that gorgeous scenery. I've always loathed living in big cities in the US. Just overwhelming and unfriendly.
Greetings from Greece ♥♥
Here in CA we have similar place called Yosemite. We also have beers and grizzlies. But what people do in Yosemite when they see a bear? They all gather and take selfies with the beer instead of running away! 🐻
I am very happy to see a very beautiful and soothing mountain view, very extraordinary, not to mention the hospitality of your mother and father, it's really very pleasant, thank you so much for your kind my dear, you and parents so amazing👍👍👍😊💓💓💓🙏🙏🙏🇮🇩
Thank you Alina and mom, what an adventure!#
I'm amaze, so beautiful & peaceful... i hope someday i could be there...
Better hurry up. It won't be peaceful for long if the Alberta government has its way. It's not even peaceful now compared to what it was 25/30 years ago. Tourism has destroyed Banff National Park, and it's now working on Kananaskis.
Wow, what a pleasure to vacation with mom enjoying the beautiful mountain scenery and the surrounding nature. What a harmony between mom and you. This must be mama's spoiled daughter. How I am very happy that your video is very beautiful that you share. Enjoy the holidays with your beloved mom.
A very cool trip in the most Canadian city called Kananaskis!❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦
Hi Alina, thanks for sharing your wonderful video with your Mom
I’m from Edmonton, but that Lodge is worth the drive just for the amazing accommodations alone. Definitely think a girl trip is in motion after watching this. Beautiful vlog! 🏔️
Hope you guys have a great time!
Another beautiful video, thanks for sharing. I see why it's selected for G7 summit. Hope we can go there one of these days.
Канада это лучшая место чтобы провести свой отдых семьёй и на лыжных курортах тоже классные считаю! Канада страна офигенная
Wow keren banget pemandangannya, asik banget buat jalan jalan bareng keluarga, mantap sekali 👍👍
Hi hun thank you for showing us canadas natural beauty
Another beautiful video thank you. I have had many black bear 🐻 encounters in New jersey but they usually don't bother you. Just beautiful to see. Stay safe.
Love to see you spending time with your mom, dad Alina. Beautiful Canada indeed!#
Hi Alina! 😄🙏👋🌟 I hope your having a fantastic day! This is really a beautiful marvelous super magnificent outstanding video! 😁👍❤️👏📹🇨🇦🌲🏞⛰🦌🥇💯💫✨🌟 Wow! Kananaskis looks absolutely beautiful! The Mount Engadine Lodge looks really wonderful! Also the view of Barrier Lake is truly incredible! Even the food at the Lodge looks really delicious! I would definitely like to visit Kananaskis one day. It is truly a beautiful marvelous place! Thank you so much Alina to share with us this magnificent amazing video. You are the best and greatest world traveler adventurer! 😃👍👏✈️🌎📹🧳🗺🥇💯🏆✨🌟 I wish you Alina a wonderful beautiful glorious blessed day. Take care and be safe Alina. 😊🙏❤️👋👍✨🌟
Aw thank you very much, David!
Beautiful video! Your mom is absolutely adorable!
Beautiful landscape.
Thanks for the memories. I've seen lots of bears in AB & BC when camping, but no problems
I've lived in Kananaskis once working as a chef and Canmore I've lived there 3 times and I'm going back to Kananaskis in May. To put it lightly I know the area well and have seen a lot but I have never heard of that bridge or the lodge your staying at and Im glad you showed me something new!
Pemandangan yang indah dan sehat 😍
Wow what a beautiful place and not far from Calgary🐻
this whole canada trip has turned out to be a real adventure series. small town, larger city and country hikes, the adventure continues. thanks for taking us all along. best wishes.
My pleasure!
Love the Rocky Mountains and that Engadine lodge you stayed at looks INCREDIBLE!
It sure is!
Saw your mom in the thumbnail and had to click to check in! You both look marvelous. 👍 Glad you could spend some quality time together... I did a 10 day 140 mile backpack trip in the Rockies. Been trying to get back there for a while. Incredible experience! And bears are NO joke, brown or black! Cheers!
That’s really cool!
Hello Alina and Mom,
Thank you for including us on this very scenic excursion. I will definitely insert this onto the list of location to see in Canada. The glamping accommodations look absolutely welcoming and comfortable. Nice to see there was a wood stove for those chilly evenings, add a beverage and a board game I am so there.
I did meet up with a black bear when camping in northern Ontario. I was 11 -12yrs old at the time. I and my friend had just encountered a snake while out walking so we ran from that. After a long run we came across a ( I think ) blueberry bush, which we started picking some, got to the end of the bush and went around to the other side and there was a Black Bear getting berries like us but on the other side. WELL, we looked at it and it looked at us for what seemed like forever. I think it was just as astonished as us and slowly moved away from us and kept going. Needless to say we headed back to our camp
Take care and stay safe,
Larry
Peace, cool and beauty country, no polutan, oxygen healthy
It's good you carry bear spray. Their is an ear piercing whistle made by one of the bear spray companies that really scares them away, and gets the attention of other people nearby. eBay has them, they are cheap, orange plastic Black bears aren't really aggressive, usually. The nightmare scenario is a brown bear, a Grizzly or Kodiak. 😊👍🇺🇸🇨🇦
*Fox Mean Green is a law enforcement grade spray and it is 6% capsicum. I carry the Fox Mean Green 1.5oz. and 3oz. Stream. Bear spray is only 2%. Check your laws there though.
Oh wow, that actually sounds like a great thing to have
Beautiful Alberta!
Thank Alina for showing amazing exciting places where I can travel someday.🙂
Alina the park was so beautiful- thank you for sharing the video
Afternoon snacks huh!# It's huge!#
Beautiful video Alina. I work for Alberta Parks in Kananaskis - just a little safety correction, if you encounter a grizzly bear don't just lie down and cover your head, if it's a predatory bear you may just be making yourself an easy meal! Assess whether it is a defensive charge (because it is guarding food or young), in which case back away and if attacked 'play dead' do not fight back. However, if it is a predatory charge (no cubs or food in sight, and it may have been stalking you for a while), fight back as much as possible. BUT ALWAYS TAKE BEAR SPRAY, KNOW HOW TO USE IT, AND KEEP IT QUICKLY ACCESSIBLE.
Very good to know, thank you!
Well just how lucky are you ladies!
I have walk a few trails in Kananaskis and it is the typical Canadian rural area. Remote for cell coverage but not really remote to access. I've lost track of the number of Black bears I've encountered and as you say they mostly just want to avoid dealing with us. I've spent many days walking in the woods so have encountered deer, moose, elk, antelope, sheep, timber and grey wolves, foxes and beavers. I'm not a hunter, but sometimes I've had a gun, sometimes not, but found that remaining calm, keeping a reasonable distance, basically not appearing to try and threaten them, we have coexisted. I've never had to fire a shot in anger or fear. After all I'm in their home, and I have expected them to well, be at home.
Humans forget that although we are a top tier predators, we are not apex predators, and are seen as prey by some animals. Wild animals are not Disney cartoon animals or pets and humans have been far more vicious to animals than the other way round.
Glad your encounter went well and you got to truly enjoy the back country. It truly is beautiful to behold the wild and free. Great video.
Yes, that is very well said. I’m glad you’ve never had any serious encounters.
Hanging bridge
Wonderful nature and fantastic video
Feliz viaje ALina MCloED
In love with the view 😍 nice video Ali.
It is so fun watching so many beautiful people enjoy the places I grew up exploring twenty plus years ago. Not everything is the same from when walked some of those trails. The good memories came flooding back. Oh those bear encounters make it an intense moments for sure. Great video.
Thank you!
Great video Alina and great to see you again with your Mom. What a fantastic place to see and what great Vistas. Had a brief bear encounter once at Denali National Park in Alaska with a mama bear and her two cubs, but we quickly turned around and walked quickly away and fortunately she was busy with her cubs and did not try to follow us or anything. Thanks for the great video!
Going to show my age. When I was 14, I attended the World Boy Scout Jamboree. It's only held once every 4 years, and you must be at least 14 to attend, so normally there is only one that you will qualify to attend. That year it was supposed to be somewhere exotic, but that country had financial issues and Canada volunteered to host it as they were having the Canadian Jamboree the year before and could use the same setup. We drove a school bus across BC to the a campground for 16,000 people in the Kannaskis. Included in the 2 week event was one day in Banff and one day at the Calgary Stampede. Because it was bear country you had to go get your food twice a day from a central distribution point and then throw all remaining food away each evening. If I remember correctly they were trapping and taking away to release more than a bear a day within the campsite.
Always love to see this mom-daughter quality time 👍🤙💕💜💙💋😘
Wow beautiful area.one day i Will be there.... Amazing video 😊 thanks alina
From Morocco 👍
Hi Alina! Great video clip! Thanks for the amazing visit to Kananaskis Provincial Park! I'm used to seeing your dad behind the wheel on your Canadian road trip adventures. Traveling with mom on a glamping excursion is super!
Haha I have some great private drivers
What a beautiful trip and place you stayed with your mom. Amazing views there, glad the bear ran off. I carry some bear bangers as well as spray just incase. Fortunately, not needed them so far but often sing or talk as I walk along trails. Thanks for sharing Alina:) just to add, I saw a bear close outside my work and both me and the bear were equally shocked and he ran off fortunately 😀
Yes that’s a very good idea! Always best to be prepared because you literally never know lol
Thank you Alina🌍
First time hearing you wonderful mom speaking English and I see you take after her .
Just stunning! Thx for the great vid!
Wow suejuk di pandang mata😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 pemandangannya

Alina, you and your cool Mom hit another home run! Awesome video! Breathtakingly beautiful country. So very enjoyable to view. Thank you for always being very detailed with preparing (water/emergency kits), expectations (hikes) and concerns (Bear). I greatly appreciate your experience and knowledge. It helps tremendously knowing what to expect and following in your foot steps. Keep the fantastic videos coming. I can't wait for the next adventure. God bless

Hi alina I have a great trip to saskatoon this summer it so nice Canada is a great in the summer
Such a beautifully shot video! Inspired!
Thanks lovely!
I miss Canada 🇨🇦 Alina I want to go back home now
Many years ago, Harriet and I visited the Rockies in the Kananaskis Woods. We did visit Banff but enjoyed the hikes we took in Kananaskis Woods. We were there in May. It was cold but comfortable . We were there for two days and had a very relaxing time there. Alina, this was a great choice by you and your mother. We think alike. Sending you lots of love from Richmond, Va. 💖💖💖 Harriet , Jim and Yuki
It is such a beautiful place. Thank you so much!
O' my God your hand was shaking when you described what happened. Please take care of your self and your nice mon.
So beautiful... Love it , watching from 🇮🇩
Totally awesome !
Woww canadian so beautifull...amazing
Lovely place
Thankyou for taking me to another beautiful part of Canada. Did not have to leave the fireside from where I live in Australia. On my two trips to Canada I did not get to see a bear in the wild.
Beautiful place and fantastic trip especially as your experiencing this with your mum
Very good making travel vlog!!!
มันสวยงามมาก💚
love it, thanks for sharing, have a nice day
Where there is the baby bear, mama bear is not far away! Glad you are okay luv! Love the wilderness like this Alina and you and your Mum being out in this way was warm to see.💙💙
Haha that is very true. I was very worried there could have been a baby bear
❤️ you and your videos
Hi Alina,
what a surprise. Another adventure in Canada.
Stunning landscapes! Had no face to face experience with bears. Only bisons in Yellowstone National Park.
Best Regards, Ralf
He'll Alina. For a real Rocky mountain experience book a six day horse ride with Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies. Group of 8, catered trip with great food in the backcountry from Banff.
That bridge is something 🤩
You get around! Now you are in Romania?! What a gal.😁
It's just an amazing journey Alina, thank you for sharing the videos about Canadian nature...😍
Alina in gentle amounts of trouble is best content🤣🤣👌👌literally what makes the channel great now 💀💀
(I'm so going to have my cheeks whacked by her if & when I do arrive in Canada, she'll be waiting 🤪🤪😂😂)
Such an amazing trip! It must have been a wonderful weekend in this fantastic place with your lovely mom! This environment, surrounded by a spectacular nature, is unique, as well as the food which looked so delicious. Thank you very much Alina for this great video.
It sure was. Thank you, Gabriella!
Wow, cool lodge!#
Wonderful beauty and the song that you put up make it more special.
Be careful with these bears.💞💞
Hello, hermoso lugar me hubieras invitado. Algún día y estaré por allá y si por casualidad nos encontramos vamos a las montañas.
Awesome, thx for sharing
Breathtaking views, Alina. Engadine Lodge look good since it has a proper toilet and all the food look good too. I love you had this trip with your mom and bear hugs from Vancouver.
Haha right?? Much better than an outhouse
Thanks for sharing, Alina! This is Alona here, as Michael is in the hospital and will catch up with us when he is able. I bet that encounter with a bear was a real stressful time, but happy to know you guys kept your heads alert and ready to take him on. )))))) Enjoyed this video a lot, really beautiful country...How many more do you have hidden for us to see yet? You always surprise us and it is always a joy to see your adventures! Stay safe and keep smiling!!! Cheers!! ❤👍😎😊
Aw thank you very much, Alona! I’m sorry to hear about Michael not feeling well. I hope he has a speedy recovery, please give him my best wishes. Hope you are well!
suatu pemandangan yang indah sekali?
kapan ya, aku bisa pergi ke sana?😊
Beautiful, beautiful place! Love seeing the other side of the Rockies! Great video!!😍👍👍
Thank you very much!
The mountains are so stunning!! 😊💖
Alina it was really stunning..wonderful landscape..
Hi Alina! Wow! Your hands were actually trembling after that bear encounter! It was probably looking for food near the bench. Bear: 'I wonder if this young lady tastes good?!' 😂
I once went camping in the area with friends. It was an unforgettable experience! You should do it too!
Thanks for doing these videos on Canada. I hope to watch them all at my pace.
So beautiful 😍
Suspension bridge was brilliant..I think Petrena also visited this place earlier..
Alina....❤🇮🇩
A nice trip indeed. I enjoyed watching it.
This place looks so amazing!!😍
It sure is!
Very nice 👍
Bears mosquitoes and palace guards! Sounds like you need a Tim Hortons visit Alina, I pray for your innocence and safe return!😄✌️❤️🇬🇧
Canada is so beautiful.
Greetings from Heidelberg Germany 😉
So I waas watching the video and thinking that maybe I could plan a trip there next summer, but then I heard those two words...."bear spray". I stopped looking at the map. Perhaps a trip to Calgary would be enough for me.... :)
