Calgary to Kamloops via Jasper Motorcycle Camping Trip
Total Duration: 4 days
Total Distance Traveled: 1,883 km
Description: Main objective of this trip is to do the spectacular Columbia Ice Fields Parkway on Hwy 93 between Lake Louise and Jasper and then come down the fast and sometimes windy Hwy 5 into Kamloops. The KOA campsite at the top of the hill just east of Revelstoke was a disappointment so will choose a different campground for Revelstoke next time. The route also hits the perennial favourite roads into Kaslo BC and along the east side of Kootenay lake after crossing the ferry at Belfour.
