Just beginning a thread to share info and tips on Canada, and in particular, Vancouver, and Banff areas..
This thread seems to be neglected for a long time...
I'm thinking of heading to Canadian Rockies this year. Anything tips on that?
Which part? What's your route?
That's the thing - no route yet. Wondering if i should take a bus from Vancouver to Banff before renting car there. However, I think it would be better to rent a car from Vancouver and do a round circuit which include both Banff and Jasper. This way i could drop by Kelowna and Kamloop along the route.
The route there is quite pretty, so if you have a friend, then drive there and back. Lots of little scenic spots on the way to Banff.
I would agree. Renting a car from Vancouver is a better idea. You can stop where you want and when you want to see the sights. You should also spend a couple of days in Vancouver. The scenery around the city is quite spectacular. If you have the time, Seattle is only 2 hours south of Vancouver. In my opinion, Seattle is one of the prettiest U.S. cities there are.
Seattle? I doubt will have time - we only have about 2 and half weeks including flights, so it would be tight for what we want to see/photograph at Rockies.
Glad to have found this thread.
Am planning to visit Canada with my family (me and wife plus 2 young children aged 4 and 6yo) this June for a month or so.
Still have no idea what itinerary should i take.
i would prefer the beautiful scenery and uniquely beautiful cities.
anyone can advise which route should i take?
Matthew, just wondering why it took you 1 month just to cover only Banff and Lake Louise? are there really lot of things to see and explore only in this 2 locations?
Thanks in advance
