I'm planning out next summer's vacation and need some experienced help on highways traversing the Canadian Rockies.
We are interested in driving from Glacier NP to Lake Louise. We have taken the Icefield Parkway from Banff to Jasper NP but missed Lake Louise and want to pick it up this time. If anyone knows of any reasonably priced RV parks in that area, please speak up.
From there, we want to drive west and south to Seattle, and eventually make it to Lincoln City, OR. It appears the best road to take is TC #1 From Lake Louise to Kamloops and then drop south on #5, but when reading up on TC #1, it appears it has some pretty dangerous stretches of road that can oftentimes be closed due to avalanches. Is anyone familiar with this highway and can advise me if a 39' gas coach + towed vehicle can make this trip? I can't find information on grades but see RV parks along the way, so I must assume RV's can make it, but should they?
From Kamloops to Seattle, is there an advised or preferred route to take? Do you have to drop south all the way to Tacoma and then back north in order to visit Olympic NP? I assume taking a ferry with a coach + toad will be out of the question.
Thanks for your help.
