That wouldn't bother me, the leisurely driving/time would be spent in Banff, Jasper, Lake Louise, then push 2 long days back home -- nm - Bacon Feb 7, 19:38 11
- So I am seeing 2 days up, 3 days in those areas, and 2 days back for a week long trip -- nm - Bacon Feb 7, 19:38 10
  - doable, but it would be hurried. I'd probably throw another day in if you could. would give you more of a chance for stuff like Radium, or - mafic Feb 7, 19:41 3
    - 8 days, that's do able. Thx guys. I just have no idea how fast you can go in those mountains. On the map it looks easy -- nm - Bacon Feb 7, 19:42 2
      - Don't listen to mafic. Madam Curie died from radium poisoning -- nm - crash davis Feb 7, 19:48 1
        
        her lab notes are still highly radioactive! -- nm - mafic Feb 7, 20:04
  - August can snow be an issue? -- nm - Bacon Feb 7, 19:39 5
    - it's unlikely to fall in August, and if it does unlikely to be an issue, but it's not impossible. -- nm - mafic Feb 7, 19:43 4
      - I figured. I might see if fall in a rare case but probably not sticking to the roads. -- nm - Bacon Feb 7, 19:52 3
        
        Oh question. I have a memory of seeing a glacier and a snowcat going onto it with people getting out. - Bacon Feb 7, 19:53 2
        
        yep. Columbia Icefield. between Banff and Jasper. -- (link) - mafic Feb 7, 19:59 1
        
        Thx! I would have never figured this out based on that foggy memory -- nm - Bacon Feb 7, 20:03
