@Wakita46 I took almost similar route on 2017 to BC/AB area. The only difference is I have 17 days to spend. I was able to camp 5 days in Banff and 5 days in Jasper. We also took trans-canada hwy on our way back to East coast. I'm glad you are able to leverage the free park entrance since...
Day 6
First night #camping for 2017. We take it easy today after a long travel day. We do some tasks to setup the camper. I setup the camper awning and also an instant screen canopy. We cook breakfast and pack up lunch. There are no planning for today. We plan as we see the time fit.

Day 4
I finally crush and burn. Sweaty, heat + no shower finally is not working for us. We settled at Hilton Hampton Inn @ Gillette WY. My tired body also complaining. We get a well deserved refreshed at the hotel and some hearty breakfast.
Since we lack of time management and overdone tourist...
Day 3
I pulled an all-niter driving from OH. We crossed IN, IL and IA to get to SD. I got a little nap at a rest stop in IA. The extra travel time help to catch up our schedule.

Day 1
After the first 200 miles, the trailer lost a trailer bearing protector + cover and exposed the wheel bearing. I also lost a battery cover. Spend 2 hrs looking for spare parts + repair. I got a battery box, grease gun & grease from Walmart. Then, I try to...
I waved as I pass through Winnipeg. We specifically detour to just drive over Riding Mountain National Park. We had late lunch over Moon Lake. I enjoyed the National Park. Got tons of activities. I hope I can revisit the National Park and spend some time in the area. Winnepeg is a great...
In additional to the booked campground in Banff and Jasper, we have 2 motel nights stay on our westbound drive. One scheduled in Helena MT & one unscheduled stay at Gillette WY. We try to sleep inside the truck on pullover or rest area. The truck is roomy and with some arrangement, 3 kids can...
In 2016, we did the East Coast Canada and found our way to Newfoundland. For this year, we are doing a cross country road trip to Banff National Park and Jasper National Park. The trip started on June 30th till July 16. 17 days trip with 4 days westbound from MA and 4 days eastbound from AB...
Very Nice Trip. 3 Days in NFL is a bit short. The cost for ferry is probably your highest spending beside fuel. I spend 7 days in NFL last year and I'm not even done 10% of the island. I'm hoping to return in the future.
When is your trip? If in late July or later, iceberg sighting will be rare. You really need to travel north to see iceberg. Taking the viking trail up north to L'anse Aux Meadows for good iceberg sighting.
Also for 2017, all park entrance fee waive for Park Canada. You can order your park...
Yup. Canada is celebrating 150 years old. All entrance is waive to Park Canada sites.
I have to wake up early and stake out the reservation website to get my reservation in Banff & Jasper. I got 5 days in Banff and 5 days on Jasper in the opening day. Most site is quickly book up...
That's a lot of CG hopping, but I'm glad to see you back into camping. I hope to see some great pictures and read up your trip report.
