Vancouver to Calgary
The last time we took about 10 days. Personally I prefer to end up in
Vancouver, which is a very beautiful city with lots of entertainment, esp. restaurants. "Dr Gonzo" wrote in message .be... How much time would I need to drive from Vancouver to Calgary, when I would visit the major attractions (also Columbia icefields) along the way. If its better to do Calgary-Vancouver than let me know why. I'm planning to go to Canada (and possibly combine it with Las Vegas), about 18 days in august 2004. I tought I could better ask the specialists instead of searching for days in outdated and inaccurate travel-guides. Thanks in advance Chris from Belgium |

Vancouver to Calgary
It depend on what you mean by "visit" the major attractions.
It's a 12-13 hour drive - straight - so if you spend a day in Banff, another in the Banff area (Columbia Icefield, Lake Louise MORAINE LAKE!, Takakkaw Falls), and another 1 or 2 in the Okanogan - the high desert area of central B.C., you are looking at about 5 days. It doesn't really matter what direction you do it in - there is a "chance" that Calgary could have some coolish weather, or hail in late August. Of course, Vancouver can have rain anytime. Beautiful route you have planned. If you have more specific information needs, email me - born and raised in Calgary with a dozen trips to Vancouver under the belt. "Dr Gonzo" wrote in message .be...
