What you’ll do

This camping itinerary is a great starting point for a 2 week road trip loop from Vancouver to the Canadian Rockies via Whistler, Wells Gray, Jasper, the Icefields Parkway, Banff, Golden and Revelstoke.

Starting and finishing in Vancouver, it features all of the 'must sees' with many of the contrasting landscapes that make this region so unique (temperate rainforest, grasslands, mountains and more).

This itinerary is designed for travellers who are camping and love easily accessible viewpoints and short walks/hikes (up to 1 hour). There are some optional longer hikes included for inspiration.

Please note that some of the driving days are on the longer side. If you're not comfortable with this, choose a shorter route or add a few extra days.
