We leave Edmonton for Jasper/Banff area via Hwya 2 and 12, with 93 being the route up and down from Jasper to Banff. It seems finding a place in this area June 23 - July 5 is going to be tough since it covers both Canada Day and July 4th. We'd like to spend about 10 days in the area.
There is a visitor's center near Jasper on the Icefield Parkway that allows dry camping (used to be $12) and the views are gorgeous. Worth a stop if it's not full up.
WOW
That would be a "terrible" place to boondock.
The last time my wife and I were at the Columbia Icefields, it was close to the 1st of July and it was snowing. We were on the Harley and snow was sticking to the sides of the road and the windshield. The electric hand dryers in the bathroom at the visitor center were our best friend.
Seattle traffic is horrid traveling I-5. 97 through WA and OR is better is you are not in a hurry.
