There are two short hikes at the toe of the glacier, but if you want to actually go ON the glacier, you need to take a tour. Five days (six nights), split between Banff and Jasper is the recommended minimum to see that main, popular tourist and scenic attractions, but if you want to hike or fish or do a bunch of activities, you could easily spend much longer.Ĥ. It's impossible to say what "enough" time is - that depends on what you want to see and do, and your travel style.
It's recommended to take it over at least two days, and the slightly longer route via the Icefields Parkway is recommended, so that you can drive the parkway both ways.ģ. Vancouver to Jasper is an eight hour drive (with no stops) by the shortest route. You can book sleeping accommodation, or it's doable in coach (much like a long haul overnight flight, except that you have more room and it's easier to get up and move around). There is also VIA Rail, our regualr passenger service, which runs three times a week from Vancouver to Jasper. All gone now, though, although the higher elevations and peaks are white (and that won't go now until spring next year).Ģ. 21st, we had a cold wet system drop several inches of the white stuff in Jasper townsite and it stuck around for a couple of days because of the continuing chilly temperatures. It doesn't normally snow down to valley bottom and townsite level at that time of year but this year on Sept. September can range from hot and sunny (high 20s C or even into the 30s), or it can snow. As a summary, weather in summer/fall in the mountains is extremely variable. There are plenty of weather sites on the internet where you can look up weather averages and normals.
If you have a week you could addġ night and visit Kaslo and the Hot Springs in the area.ġ night to Osoyoos to explore the wine region of the Okanagan between Osoyoos and Penticton. With stops in Revelstoke - Nelson and Osoyoos. The latter would take a min of 3 nights and 4 days to make it a reasonable trip. You could then do Whistler as a day trip from Vancouver. Jasper to Revelstoke to Nakusp to Vernon to Kelowna to Penticton to Manning Park to Vancouver ħ Jasper to Revelstoke to Nelson to Osoyoos to Manning Park to Vancouver įor my money the last one #7 offers the most variety of landscape and places to stop for more than 1 night.

Jasper to Clearwater to Kamloops to Vancouver Ģ.Jasper via Clearwater to 99 to get to Whislter ģ.Jasper to Revelstoke to Kamloops to Whistler to Vancouver Ĥ Jasper to Revelstoke to Kamloops to Hope to Vancouver ĥ. This are the route options for driving between Jasper and Vancouver that was given on another post that only had a few days to get there.ġ. You can get a car hire ( car rental) with Canadian Affair UK that has no drop off fees between Calgary and Vancouver. The Icefield Parkway is a regular road that goes between Lake Louise and Jasper - if you want to walk on the glacier it is best to take the buggy which starts at the Visitor Centre. There are lots of trip reports for that route in September which you can access when you use the web browser on any device instead of the app.
