Great advice guys! I couldn't agree more.

I love the way you guys differentiate between couples vs families. I, myself, travel as a couple, but many people do not. They have kids, and you make the nuances of this known in your videos. This is a great benefit, on top of all the information you provide for all travelers. I have always wanted to go to Banff. You were instrumental in my trips to Yellowstone years ago. I am lurking, taking notes, and planning, in case I actually am able to make a trip to Banff. Also watching your Grand Canyon, Arches, Colorado, Zion, Monument Valley,….😂🤣😂🤣 Just LOVE, love, love your videos and both you guys! Thanks for all you do to help us vacationers. I can’t recommend We’re in the Rockies enough to travelers. 🫎

It really pays to be prepared. I actually prefer to be over prepared that way I can limit my chances of having a bad experience. If you are uncomfortable or stressed out you’re not going to enjoy yourself. You will need a vacation after your vacation. Thanks for the video. What a beautiful area!

Agree 100%. Planning is paramount. ‘Winging it” will never be as successful, as research & planning.

Beautiful video. We visited Banff in the summer of 2023. We did not have enough time to visit all locations. I think we need to do another one. Thank you for sharing.

Hi how long did it take for the discovery pass to ship to you in the US? Also, does the annual membership start on date of purchase? Or it starts from the first day you use at the Banff national park? Thank you for the informative video!

@WereintheRockies Ай бұрын

Starts from the date of purchase. Can’t remember exactly how long but I think it was a few weeks to arrive

Hi..very nice video. . Will be visiting banff in june.can you please suggest tour company in banff.

@WereintheRockies Ай бұрын

We have not used a tour company in Banff, therefore we do not have a recommendation. Do a google search and look at reviews to find a good one. Good luck!

If your not driving do you need park pass

Technically, yes. They only check the vehicles, but they say you’re supposed to have one. You may consider checking with the shuttle or tour company you might be using to see what they say about it.
