We are travelling this summer to Banff 5days then to Jasper 3days,should we camp@ the ice fields 1nite on the way to Jasper or come back from Jasper to visit. What would experience say? John R.
They have a very large parking lot which is big rig friendly. I would just use that the see what you want to see and then go on up to Jasper. Your stop at the Icefield's discovery center should only last three or four hours at most. The most time will be consumed waiting on your ticket to the glacier walk if you do that. You can see our blog entry for Jasper here for our 2015 trip. Picture "Banff to Jasper 19" shows the trams out on the glacier and was taken from the parking lot.
