from prince george it is a beautiful and easy drive on 16 to mt robson, to jasper then the icefeild parkway to banff. from there east to calgary and south to waterton national park (the canadian part of glaicer) then 35 miles south to glacier.from glacier its not that far to the black hills. it is gods country enjoy
In Jasper, don't miss visits to Maligne Canyon, Pyramid Lake, Athabaska Falls, and up the road to near the top of Mt. Edith Cavell. If you can get a reservation, try to stay in Whistler's campground at Jasper.
If you have time to spend a couple of nights in Lake Louise, spend one day driving over Kicking Horse Pass on the Trans-Canada Highway to visit spectacular Takakkaw Falls, with a nearly 1/4-mile drop, and the overlook at the Spiral Tunnels of the Canadian Pacific Railway to watch a train or two negotiate the total spiral.
