Hi everyone! My wife and I (36&33) will be visiting Canada for the first time. We're landing on May 25th in Calgary and our flight back home departs from Calgary on June 2nd at 2:00 PM.

We're looking for a relaxed, scenic trip — enjoying the views, doing some walking and moderate hikes, and soaking in the region.

Here's our current plan:

Here's our current plan:

  • May 25–29 (4 nights): Banff
  • May 29 (driving day): Icefields Parkway. Spending the night along the road
  • May 30–31 (2 nights): Jasper
  • June 1: Drive back to Calgary — either via Icefields Parkway again or Hwy 11 (David Thompson)
  • June 2: Return the RV in the morning, then catch our 2 PM flight ✈️

What do you think? Any suggestions on must-see stops, campgrounds, or things we should adjust?

Thanks in advance

[Edit: Thanks everyone for the replies and tips! I listened to you and secured my spots. Hopefully there were still a few left!

I've just changed one thing: I cut one day from Banff and added it to Jasper.

The campground reservations are:

  • May 25 → 28 – Tunnel Mountain, Banff
  • May 28 → 29 – Silverhorn
  • May 29 → May 31 – Whistlers, Jasper
  • May 1 → June 2 – Still open; thinking about heading over to Moraine Lake (June 1st will be the opening day)]
