British Columbia Travel Tips / Advice?
We are heading north from Montana into British Columbia for about a 2 week trip, just wondering around enjoying the Northern Rockies. Our general destination is Jasper Park, though we are looking for...

OK, I think I've digested all your comments - and they have been very helpful. Here's what We're plotting as a general itinerary. However, we often take roads less traveled where the winds and the whims blow us.
So, this is the general route:
- Enter BC at Porthill, then to Creston
- route 3A up Kootenay Lake, stopping at various recommendations
- ferry to Balfour
- north on 31 Kaslo then 31A & 6 to Nakusp, stopping at various recommendations
- route 23 to Galena Bay, ferry to Shelter Bay, then to Riverstoke
- Then west on Rt. 1 to Kamloops -
- Then north to Prince George - BUT out of Kamloops should we take Rt 5 & 24 to 93 Mile House or should we take Rts 1 & 97 to 93 Mile House?
- Then from Prince George take Rt 16 to Jasper
- Then Ice Rt 93 - Road Parkway & glaciers
- Then possibly to Banff (crowds...?)
- Then backtrack to Rt 1 to Golden
- Then Rt 95, either crossing the border at Roosville or swinging east over to Waterton and crossing Chief Mountain and then home (near Bozeman, MT)
So, what do you think? Other than what's been mentioned before any particular sights / things to do on these routes?
Again, I truly appreciate the comments you'all have offered, very helpful!
