You might want to consider cutting south on 22--west of Calgary, thereby missing lots of Calgary traffic. This drive takes you through the heart of Turner Valley, prime ranch country. We stayed several nights in a lovely Lion's Club CG in Black Diamond, giving us an easy drive into Calgary for site seeing but staying in the country.
Missouri Bird is correct. Highway 22 by bypasses Calgari traffic and the Lions Club CG at Black Diamond is very nice, quiet with lots of friendly folks. Some spots are seasonal but we have stayed there four times going to or from Alaska and always found a spot there for a couple of nights. Highway 22 down to Black Diamond and then 7 over past Okotoks to High River is the way we always go. You can then pick up Highway 2 there. There is a big gas station/truck stop at the intersection of 22 and Transcanadian 1. Nice place to fuel up before heading north into the parks when heading that way. Highways 22 and 7 are good roads and we found several farmers stands along there where we could pick up fresh vegetables or fruit.
