If you can get from Calgary to Banff during its busy season in much less time than it takes to get from Edmonton to Jasper I'd love to know how. The 1 is a fucking parking lot into Banff.

Jasper is definitely beautiful too though

I mean, if you’re driving out on Canada Day long weekend, sure. But I’ll drive out a couple of times a week during the summer and it’s usually not a big deal.

I'm guessing you didn't make it out this summer, lol.

Banff post-covid is fucking insane. Like you can't walk down the main drag

I’m there usually every couple of weeks…pro tip is to take the 1A to Canmore before hopping on the 1. Beautiful drive and usually not busy.

Lol I did this on 70 a couple times when I lived in Denver. As long as the weather is fine a 4 departure on a winter Saturday gets you to the mountain parking lot at like 530-6. Grab a coffee and chill in the heat til first chair
