    Alaska Highway (AlCan) vs. Cassiar Highway

    Following up... have been back from the trip for a few days now. Drove the Cassiar route and it did not disappoint. Five days total: 1. Missoula to Jasper (Ice Fields Parkway is beautiful) and on to Valemount to find a reasonably priced hotel (much of Jasper is under reconstruction after the...

    Calgary-Banff-Jasper trip

    Wife and I drove most of the Icefields Parkway from Lake Louise to Jasper. Absolutely worth it - amazing! Wish we could have made it all the way to Jasper but ran out of time. Don't know what impact the fire had.
