The Vancouver Itinerary via Jasper and Banff (Part I)

Estimated Travel Period: 10 days, about 28 hours
Estimated Travel Distance: 2,099 kms

Best Time To Travel

Spring (March to April) to Autumn
(September to November) are great seasons to see the sights without
having to deal with the cold. Summer (June to August) also gets
plenty of tourists so you'll need to make early reservations on your
RV rental
and campground stay.

Go on a tour of British Columbia and Alberta's most popular national parks and scenic towns before enjoying Vancouver's natural and urban attractions.


The route sticks to sealed roads, and there are no length restrictions in the recommended campgrounds. This means you can easily take an RV of any size. Still trying to find a motorhome for your trip? MyDriveHoliday has great RVs for hire in Vancouver.
