Hello,
Does anyone know how long it takes to get from Vancouver BC to Jasper Alberta? Also does anyone know what the driving time is from Vancouver BC to Banff Alberta? Does anyone know a good place to camp in Jasper and Banff. We are planning on hiking with the dogs so if anyone knows if you are allowed to have dogs in campgrounds that would be great to know as well. Is there a place in Jasper or Banff that accepts campground reservations? Do we have to purchase a discovery pass that gets you in to all of the National Parks for $59.00 a person does this mean that we have to purchase the pass to stay in the campground or does that mean that you can purchase the daily one for $7.00 dollars a day regardless if you are hiking or not. If anyone can help that would be great. We are planning to hike and camp from July 22nd to Aug 1st. Thank you for reading thank you in advance for your feedback. We look forward to your reply.
Vancouver to Banff is approx 10-11 hours driving
To stay in Banff National Park, you will need a park pass plus you need to pay for camping on top of that.

for more info; there is a phone number you can call to talk to someone
Have fun!!
Jasper to Vancouver is about 9 hours, but a lot depends on how bad the traffic is once you hit the "suburbs" of Vancouver.
It breaks down like this:
Jasper to Kamloops = 5 hours
Kamloops to Hope via the Coquihalla = a little less than 2 hours
Hope to Vancouver = thoeretically 1.5 hours, but usually takes a bit longer; if you hit rush hour as you are arriving it could be brutal.
Thank you thank you. This has been very helpful. I do appreciate your time.
Cheers Kelly and John Langill
Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I really do appreciate this. Have a fantastic day.

There are some excellent trails from the Upper Station of the Jasper Tramway to the top of nearby mountains, where you can enjoy phantastic views on the mountains in the surroundings. PLease note that usual (sport) shoes are inadequate for the rocky footpaths. Bring good hiking shoes.
I spent an hour in Jasper on my way from Valemount to Banff back in May, 2008. It was the first weekend in May and although it's still not quite spring yet in the Rockies, we had glorious sunny weather and hot temperatures, relatively speaking.
On our visit to the Rockies we stayed just one night in Jasper. And in spite of our bad experience with a B&B (see accommodation tip) we do like this small town. Even more than Banff with its crowds of tourists.
Jasper is more sporty than Banff and has great sceneries and lots of nice spots to visit.
See for tips around Jasper my Jasper National Park page.
Between Banff and Jasper Alberta Canada. HERE YOU SEE ICE WHICH IS A PART OF THE COLUMBIA ICE FIELDS OR GLACIER.
I took this picture from the ski lift as we went up to the top of the mountain.

THE START OF THE ICE FLOWS
THE GLACIER TOURS START HERE. HUGE BUSES EQUIPPED WITH TRACKS INSTEAD OF TIRES TO GO WAY INTO THE ICE FIELDS. YOU CAN SEE THE EFFECT OF GLOBAL WARMING AND A HOT SUMMER AS THE ICE HAS MELTED FOR A LONG WAY UP THE GLACIER.
YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE ICE FIELDS HAVE MELTED THEY USE TO RUN UP BETWEEN THE TWO MOUNTAINS.
At the end of the run off of melting snow. Mount Edith Cavell.
