Banff/Lake Louise in September--good idea?
We are thinking about touring Banff in mid-to-late September in a 34 foot motorhome with no towed-vehicle. Is that a reasonable proposition?

We stayed at Johnston Canyon Resort in mid-September a few years ago. We left for Jasper in a light rain, but it changed to snow before Lake Louise. By the time we got to Bow Lake, we were in a whiteout. I used a photo we took of the snow-covered evergreens along the highway, with the Bow Lake and Canadian Rockies in the background on our Christmas card that year.
We kept going despite the snow-packed and slushy road and when we got to Athabaska Glacier, the snow had stopped. Jasper was sunny and light jacket weather.
The moral of my story is: be prepared for any kind of weather and enjoy the beautiful scenery. You won't regret the trip for a minute!
