The easiest route from Portland would be I84 US395 I90 to Spokane. US95 to Canada, 95/93 to Radium, Kootenay NP, and Banff. 93 continues N to Jasper.
May want take the toad from Lake Louise up the Icefields and back in a day. Yoho could also be a day trip.
93/Us93 will take you to W Glacier. Take the bus over GoinToSun.
W Glacier to W Yelowston is easy.
This is very helpful information, thanks! It looks scary on the map.
I was also wondering if it was "easier" to go north into Canada from Seattle, and then do the traverse on Canada 1 - which doesn't necessarily look like it is, but I was wondering about it. Thank you!
