Thank you both for these very helpful responses. I had determined that 520 had gravel on the west end, so had eliminated that. Was just considering 533 and 540. Seems like 533 is a good choice, even though 540 looks a bit more direct on the map. Unless I hear from someone with experience on 540, I'll count on 533 for sure.
I have a full day to get from Claresholm to Banff and I am just looking for a scenic route, but also want to avoid any problem areas. I plan to come around by Calgary on my return trip.
As you can see I'm making plans long in advance. I enjoy doing that. We have been making trips in fifth-wheel trailers for 20 years, but this may be one of our last long trips as I will be 85 in October. Our only other RV trip into Canada was to Ontario, near Niagara Falls where we met RV friends who live in Ontario.
Banff will be our destination on this trip. I've always wanted to visit there, but we have no desire to go on to Alaska.
Thanks for your help.
