Bryan Cranston Urges Fans to Explore ‘Breathtaking’ Canadian Rockies Following Jasper Wildfires
The 68-year-old “Breaking Bad” and “Malcolm in the Middle” star documented his journey with wife Robin Dearden last month through B.C. and Alberta via Instagram.
The actor’s Instagram posts were shared over the course of two weeks, with the final post this week coming more than a month after the couple’s July 8 anniversary.
“From the metropolitan setting of the vibrant Vancouver, to the Wild West town of Calgary, and all the magnificent scenery of the Canadian National Parks in between. Come along for a little arm-chair travelling with my wife, Robin and I, as I document our journey over the next few days.”

Cranston and his actress wife flew into Vancouver via seaplane prior to embarking on a train tour through the Canadian Rockies to Jasper, Alta., just a few weeks before wildfires tore through the town on July 24.
During their time in Jasper, the couple stayed at the historic Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge in “a beautiful log cabin,” and toured “the spectacular Maligne Lake,” Cranston said.
“We are able to confirm that though the hotel did incur fire damage, most of the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge structures, including the main lodge, remain standing and intact,” the lodge said. “While we will need time to assess the full scale of the damage and the timelines required for repair and restoration, we are deeply relieved that much of the property was spared and the resort will re-open in the future.”
Journey to Banff
After their time in Jasper, the pair journeyed south via the Icefields Parkway where “the scenery continues to astonish,” before arriving at Lake Louise, Cranston said in another
post.
Lake Louise “took our breath away,” he said. “And in reverse angle the majestic Chateau Lake Louise, one of the Crown Jewels of the Fairmont Hotels. This is a ‘must stay’ because it is the only hotel on the lake, and in the mornings and evenings it feels like you have it all to yourself.”
The couple hiked near “the incredible” Lake Moraine the following day and “just kept shaking our heads at the pure beauty.”
Next, Cranston and his wife traveled to Banff where they enjoyed “35 miles of more stupidly gorgeous scenery.” The couple stayed at the “majestic” Banff Springs Hotel to celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary.
post. “From a distance it could be mistaken for a location in a Harry Potter movie. Just spectacular.”
The couple explored several renowned tourist attractions in Banff, including Bow Falls and the Cave and Basin National Historic Site.
The anniversary vacation covered 1,287 kilometers (800 miles) through the two provinces, Cranston wrote. He described the trip as “restful” and “breathtakingly beautiful.”
