See that ladies and gentlemen?
That's sweat. That's the sign of a man hard at work.
He's hard at work. This hike is no joke. But we're doing it.
Hands down, my favorite part of the trip was
all the hiking we did. First the seven hour hike near Lake Louise and then the
scary climb we made at Moraine Lake the next day
Here's how it went down.
So we just got to Lake Louise and I've seen photos of Lake Louise
many many times on Instagram and it looked like it was Photoshopped
you know, the color of the water is just so blue and beautiful, but you can't photoshop video
like this is the color of the water and it's beautiful, it is just goegeous
So if Banff is on your bucket list
make sure you come to Lake Louise. If Banff is not on your bucket list,
make sure you move it to the top because experiencing this is different it's not
like anything you've ever seen before
So, we're getting ready to check into our hotel at the Fairmont on Lake Louise
Look at this place. It's gorgeous.
yep right along the lake
Look at this you have all of this in the background. We've got the lake
It's beautiful. I'm totally just kidding, we we're not ballin' like that. We're not
staying here.
I wish but it is gorgeous and just a little tip, before you start hiking up to
the teahouses you might want to go into the hotel to use the bathroom because
once you get up there, all they have is a little outhouse and it's kind of nasty so...
Trust me, you will thank me, you will thank me.
Are you tired Karl?
We just started hiking...
Karl: "I'll meet you guys when you come back down."
The hike just started...(laughs)
[Snapchat Recap]: Hiking up the mountain at Lake Louise all the way to the top to get to the teahouses
and thank God I layered up, because it started out cold but now it is HOT.
Karl: "You gotta make it skip"
Alright I'm done. I tried.
Oh my gosh, look at all the horse poo. It's everywhere! Geez. And it's fresh. Be careful where you walk.
There's this really awesome tea house and you can go get something to eat you
can go get some tea. And you can just sit out and look at this beautiful view
Ooh, this tea is good guys. What kind of tea did you get?
Green chai, You want to taste it? It's really good. I like it.
Karl: "It likes you."
Just drinking tea, enjoying this beautiful view.
This is life.
Alright so now we're going to actually try to go all the way over there to where the snow is.
Karl: "Vaminos muchachas."
Alright. Here we go. We're going to keep on hiking up. Saying good bye to this beautiful scenery. But I'm sure
we'll see it again on our way back down.
[Snapchat Recap]: Every time I think we're done hiking and
we're not going to go any further, we keep going further.
We're going to go all the way up there.
Is that snow?! Are we really this high up? There's snow. Oh my gosh. Like we saw this from the ground, ya know?
I don't think you get a signal up here. We're too high up. Karl: "How about now? Can you hear me now?"
Alright, so I thought we were done but we're actually gonna hike all the way up there now.
[Snapchat Recap]: So we finally made it all the way to the top and look where we came from! We came
all the way from down there.
This is crazy. We hiked all the way from down there, up here.
Karl: "Started from the bottom now we here...
"How do we get back down?"
We made it! That was crazy. We're not doing this again.
So, we are hiking back down a completely different way than we came up. This is just straight wilderness people
we are out in the wild
we are all by ourselves we don't see any other people
No other tourists. Nothing. This is actually kinda dangerous, what we're doing right now.
And the sun is setting so...let's just hope this isn't my last video post.
This is like the Blair Witch Project.
We're almost down to the entrance. We've been hiking for like 7 hours.
We made it!
We made it! We hiked all the way down from the top of that mountain and we are
the last people to make it out of that trail, that's crazy.
I think I see a little bit blue up ahead which means where we're going might be clear.
Let's keep our fingers crossed.
[Snapchat Recap]: So yesterday we went to Lake Louise
Now we're headed to Lake Moraine which is half the size of Lake Louise, but we hear
It's twice as beautiful. So well see.
We are at beautiful Moraine Lake and we just climbed to the top of
these rocks to take pictures and to see this amazing view here.
Look at this.
[Snapchat Recap]: So you see that you see that hammock down there? I literally just sat in it and thank God I
did not fall into the lake. It scared the crap out of me but I did it.
Now we're about to climb back down and I don't know how we're gonna get back down, because this climb up
was crazy
[Snapcat Recap]: We're gonna climb all the way back over these rocks and down to the other side.
I guess you can say we're rock climbing.
I don't have food! Ohhh he smells food in my bag. I have food in my purse!
[Snapchat Recap]: We just climbed all the way to the top of that, went around all the way to where the
hammock was and now it's starting to rain so we got down just in time.
This man right here is officially my ride-or-die for indulging me and
climbing to the top of that with me. Thank you.
Y'all we lost our friends. We were supposed to meet up at five-thirty
and they're nowhere to be found and now it's raining. I hope they didn't get
kidnapped. They wouldn't get kidnapped out here right? Not in the Canadian Rockies
Canadians are so nice here. They should be okay right? Right?
[Snapchat Recap]: Look, we found them! They're here. Now we're heading back.
Sun is out. Everything is all good.
Jen loves country music! Right Karl?
