Question

How many hours does it entail and how's the geography?

Answer 1

Vancouver to Hope - #1 Highway. From Hope B.C. take the Coquihalla Hwy. it's a toll road but it is the fastest. It goes to Kamloops. From Kamloops take the #1 to Banff.

From Vancouver to Banff this way is about 10 hours.

This is the fastest way. It is not the most scenic but if you haven't driven it, it is an experience to drive up there among the clouds.
