Thanks for keeping such a cool diary. I loved reading your post.
The Elk Fondue at the Banff Grizzly House looks great.

In reply to Bethaney - Flashpacker Family. It's a great drive, but it was a bit tough in the winter. I do recommend some experience in that kind of weather before heading out there.

I’m looking into a trans-Canada road trips. Your pictures look great but I don’t think I’d be brave enough to do it in the Winter!

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I am trying to work out how we can fit a visit to the Inside Passage in as well… It is all about money and time and trying to avoid one way hire fees on the RV…

In reply to Kenin Bassart.

We are planning to do a huge loop starting and finishing in LA. Think Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Moab, Yellowstone, Glacier NP, Calgary, Banff NP, Jasper, Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco, LA. With a few stops along the way…

We think we should be able to do this trip in an RV over about 6 weeks… Unfortunately we won’t get there until 2015 ish – with a family of five it takes a while to save up the money…

In reply to Pretraveller. Banff was great, I only wish we had spent more time there. Our drive south will most likely take us along the western side of the Rockies if the weather holds up. We have seen the ferries, but they did not suite our needs for this trip. What part of the US are you visiting?

Thanks for your trip diary – it looks like an amazing part of the world to visit. We are currently planning a trip to the USA and Canada and are interested in visiting the Banff – Jasper area.

Your comments on the trip to the north are also interesting but I don’t think we will have time to visit that part of Canada and Alaska on our planned trip.

Enjoy the driving!! And I am not sure of your route ahead but are you aware that there are car ferries which travel through the Inside Passage area (I recently came across an article)? Search on Google and you should find the details.

In reply to Shalu Sharma. We skipped Calgary on this trip. Was it a nice city?

In reply to Mike. Banff was incredible! We could have easily spent a few more days there visiting the hot springs and doing more hiking.
