Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creators document the first three days of their Titan travel tour in Banff National Park. After a flight with Air Canada that they describe as having rude staff and below average food, they arrive in Calgary and receive a surprise welcome from a patron named Kevin. The travelers explore various landmarks including Bow Falls, Johnston Canyon, Lake Louise, and Moraine Lake. They note that while the scenery is spectacular, popular spots like Lake Louise are heavily crowded with coaches and tourists. The trip includes stays at the Royal Canadian Lodge and dining experiences at Salt Lake, a steakhouse, and the Grizzly House, where they sample a meat fondue featuring Alberta beef, buffalo, and elk. A significant portion of the footage captures a personal struggle when Carol experiences a panic attack due to her fear of heights during a ride on the Banff Gondola. Despite the emotional difficulty of the mountain excursion, the creators conclude that they have enjoyed the group atmosphere and the local scenery as they prepare to continue their journey toward Jasper.

Creator's Key Takeaways

We start our Titan Travel Alaskan Deluxe Voyage by flying from Heathrow to Calgary in Canada and we stay in Banff for 3 nights.

This is definitely one of the most spectacular places we have ever been to and spending time with Patreon Kevin was a highlight.

The downside of an escorted tour is that sometimes you don't get as much time at some of the places you visit.

I thought I'd try it get over my fear of heights but I now realize that I hate heights and trying to get over the fear of them just doesn't do me any good.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book through a travel agent for door-to-airport pickup.
βœ“Come hungry to the Grizzly House because there's a lot of food.
βœ“If you have a fear of heights, don't attempt the gondola ride.
