Thank you for the tips. I am luckily respectful enough to nature to never tempt fate with animal encounters and we will definitely get bear spray. I have two kids so can never be too careful out there. I did hear about the 80ft cliff diving and would love to play daredevil with my son but his dad would probably die of a heart attack if we tried. We are in the area for two solid weeks traveling from Jasper to Lake Louise to Banff and Waterton.

Maybe better that way. The water is so cold that when you hit it, you instantly have an urge to take a deep breath. I don't know how people do it from high up. I jumped from about 12 feet, was underwater for like 2 seconds, and felt like I was completely out of breath when I got to the surface
