Advice for a road trip?

Question

I am planning a road trip with the family from California to the Canadian Rockies. We were thinking of going to Nevada to Idaho to Montana to Calgary to Edmonton to the Rockies can't decided between Banff or Jasper then to Vancouver. And then down home through Washington and Oregon. It is a crazy plan but I was wondering if you have any advice on how to plan places to see on the way. Also should I go with Banff or Jasper or should I go to both. Also whether there are really good places to stay or eat (you know the you gotta eat there places)

Answer 1

Well, if you go from Calgary to Edmonton you can then go out to Jasper and down the Icefield parkway to Lake Louise, which is only a short drive to Banff.  

That way you get to see it all.    The Parkway is one of the most beautiful drives in the world!   You'll love it.
