14 Day Canadian Rockies Itinerary, incl. Banff and Jasper
The Canadian mountain parks showcase progressive hiking and river expeditions over 14 days. Six destinations between Calgary and Edmonton include 8 days of Rocky Mountain treks and 160km canoe navigation down Athabasca River.
- Day 1
Calgary
- Days 2-3
Banff National Park
Travel west through ranch country to Banff. Start with the Lake Minnewanka shoreline trail but get there before 9am when parking fills up. On day 3 take on a more challenging 7.5km hike with 725m elevation gain to some beautiful alpine lakes. The mountain weather can change quickly so pack plenty of layers. The Banff Hot Springs are perfect for relaxing your muscles after hiking.
- Day 4
Lake Louise
- Day 5
Yoho National Park
- Days 6-8
Jasper Area
The drive to Jasper on the Icefields Parkway is stunning. Stop at Peyto Lake viewpoint before 10am to avoid the tour bus crowds. Around Jasper you'll find everything from easy walks around Maligne Lake to serious peak climbs. As one hiker shared: "The Bald Hills trail was tough but those panoramic views of Maligne Lake and surrounding peaks were unbeatable. Start early and bring bear spray - we saw fresh grizzly tracks."
- Day 9
Canoe Training
- Days 10-12
Athabasca River Canoe Trip
Paddle 160km of the Athabasca River over three days. The water runs faster in June from glacier melt while August and September offer calmer conditions. You'll camp on sandy islands. Bring a headlamp since summer daylight lasts until 10pm and keep food sealed and away from tents because bears are active in this area.
- Days 13-14
Edmonton
13 Days in Canadian Rockies, incl. Banff and Jasper
This 13-day Vancouver circuit winds through Western coastal highlights. Whistler's Parkhurst Ghost Town, Wells Gray waterfalls, and Fitzsimmons Creek zip-lining opportunities await. Visits include Lillooet Brewing Company and historic 1913 suspension bridge.
- Days 1-2
Vancouver to Kamloops
Begin in Vancouver's historic Gastown district. "The Victorian buildings give you a perfect taste of old Vancouver," notes one traveler. Head out early the next morning for the 5-6 hour drive to Kamloops. Stop for lunch in Hope. Remember to pack layers even in summer since mountain weather changes quickly.
- Days 3-4
Golden & Buffalo Ranch
Start your morning exploring Mt. Revelstoke's inland rainforest trails. Keep an eye out for woodland caribou and grizzlies from a safe distance. Stop at the Rocky Mountain Buffalo Ranch where a recent visitor noted, "watching these massive animals against the mountain backdrop was unforgettable." You can spend the afternoon at the Golden Skybridge for stunning valley views from 426 feet up.
- Days 5-7
Banff National Park
Spend three full days exploring Banff. Take the Tunnel Mountain hike for great views of the town. "Get to Vermillion Lakes for sunrise to catch Mount Rundle's reflection - bring a thermos of coffee and arrive 30 minutes before dawn," suggests one traveler. Visit Lake Louise and Moraine Lake early before the crowds arrive, especially during summer months.
- Days 8-9
Jasper National Park
Take the scenic Icefields Parkway to Jasper and stop at Athabasca Glacier. Start your days early in Jasper. One visitor shares: "The sunrise at Pyramid Lake was worth the 5 AM wake-up call. The morning light on the mountains is magical." Look for elk and moose near Maligne Lake but keep your distance as park rangers advise.
- Day 10
Wells Gray Provincial Park
- Days 11-12
Whistler
- Day 13
Return to Vancouver
14 Days in Western Canada, incl. Calgary and Vancouver
The Rockies-to-Pacific route spans 14 days featuring Banff's Lake Agnes Tea House, Clearwater Lake canoeing in Wells Gray PP, and Tofino's dramatic coastline with whale watching options.
- Days 1-2
Calgary & Banff
Start in Calgary before driving to Banff National Park about 1.5 hours away. "The Rockies are beautiful and you get to see the most amazing sites on this trip!" Take the Banff Gondola early in the morning to avoid crowds and get clear mountain views. End your day relaxing in the Banff Hot Springs which helps you adjust to the mountain altitude.
- Days 3-4
Lake Louise & Yoho National Park
Stay at Lake Louise while you explore both the famous lake and Yoho National Park nearby. Get to the Plain of Six Glaciers trail early before the crowds arrive. Visit Emerald Lake and Takkakaw Falls in Yoho. If you're up for adventure try whitewater rafting on Kicking Horse River. Just remember to pack quick-dry clothes since mountain water stays cold even in summer.
- Days 5-6
Icefields Parkway & Jasper
The Lake Louise to Jasper drive is one of the world's most beautiful routes. Set aside a full day to stop at Bow Lake and Columbia Icefield. Make time for Maligne Canyon in Jasper. "Between seeing wildlife rafting canoeing hiking and swimming I feel we saw the best the Rockies have to offer." Book Athabasca Glacier tours early since spots fill up fast.
- Days 7-8
Wells Gray Provincial Park
- Days 9-10
Whistler
- Days 11-12
Tofino, Vancouver Island
Take a scenic ferry ride then drive to the surf town of Tofino. Go whale watching in the morning when seas are calmer. "Watching the sunset at Long Beach was magical but bring warm clothes as the Pacific winds are chilly." Plan to arrive before dark since the drive from Nanaimo to Tofino takes 3 hours on winding roads.
- Days 13-14
Victoria & Vancouver
Start in Victoria's historic harbor then ferry to Vancouver. Walk or bike Stanley Park's seawall path for great city views. Have lunch at Granville Island Public Market. Take an afternoon ferry to avoid morning traffic.

Generally all was good, but . . . very disappointed we did not use the Nanaimo ferry to vancouver island, had to go through Vancouver yet again, then wait almost 2 hours for ferry. It would have been good to see more of the island.
