We are going to be heading up to Banff/Jasper next week and want to take the Icefields tour. Should we stop on the way up or drive back from Jasper? We will be in our 40ft motorhome and towing a car...
Someone mentioned the campground south of the Icefields -- that would be Wilcox, and don't take a big rig in there!! Lots of big rigs spend the night in the Icefields parking area -- plenty of room. Plus, if you stay there, be sure to bundle up at night and get outside and look at the stars.
If you are feeling energetic, the hike to Wilcox Pass is fantastic -- you get a bird's eye view of the Icefields:
