detour to Calgary in route Revelstoke - Banff/Canmore
You are a little over an hour from Calgary when you are in "Canmore", or the
town of "Banff". The Park itself is big and Banff townsite is at the south end. So, the night of Day 6 looks like your best shot if it is planned for an overnight in the town of Banff or Canmore.

Rudy - I don't know where you got your data from but you're dead wrong.
Canmore is 64 miles, or about 100km from Calgary and it can be done in an hour. Don't mislead people cause you ain't thorough. "Rudy" wrote in message ...

Its not possible to get one extra day in our trip, so what we'd like to do is drive from Revelstoke to Calgary, spend time with family (dinner, go out etc) and drive to Canmore/Banff NP the next day. I know Banff is big and a day is to short but it's all we've got time for. |

Klaas Talsma:

I know Banff is big and a day is to short but it's all we've got time for. I don't know how many family members Klaas is talking about, or what their circumstances are, but maybe it would be possible to combine visiting and sightseeing. What I'm thinking is that maybe the family could make a day-trip to Banff NP at the same time that Klaas will be there; they go sightseeing together and eat together -- either at a restaurant in Banff, or picnic style. They would have to work out the logistics, of course -- where to meet, how many cars, who brings the picnic food if applicable. And they might want to vary their plans if the weather turns out to be bad. Just an option to consider if Klaas and his family find it a good idea. -- Mark Brader, Toronto | "The time to make up your mind about people | is never." --The Philadelphia Story My text in this article is in the public domain. |

I don't know how many family members Klaas is talking about, or what their
circumstances are, but maybe it would be possible to combine visiting and sightseeing. Just my cousin, he works in Calgary and we'll visit the rest of his family when we go to toronto. The idea is to drive to calgary, get together and catch up have dinner and a nice evening and depart to Bannf NP the next day. |

detour to Calgary in route Revelstoke - Banff/Canmore ARAMIS is confused
Aramis..GIVE YOUR HEAD A SHAKE !
I quoted HIS itinerary.."Aug 5 Revelstoke /Banff Canmore... 280KM" He asked WHERE in his itinerary he would be closest to Calgary. That was the question. "Aug 5....Canmore 280KM" is the answer. Dont mislead people until YOU can read the original post and comprehend what is going on. Rudy - I don't know where you got your data from but you're dead wrong.

Oh, yeah, you were clear as a bell.
When someone asks where he will be closest to another place it's wise to include a distance in your response that represents his entire mileage for the days journey. I'm sure no one read your response, but me, of course, and thought that Canmore was 280 km from Calgary. You simply couldn't have phrased your response any clearer. I stand corrected.
