Looking much more manageable, although if I’m honest, you could probably get away with just a single night in Calgary unless there’s a particular reason you want to spend longer there, such as to visit the Stampede. That would give you an extra day to tag on in either Jasper or Banff.
We didn’t do a separate stop in Lake Louise - instead we stayed in Banff and visited Lake Louise from there. It’s definitely close enough, so that’s another option for you if you’d rather reduce your number of stops. Other Dibbers may have a different view of course.

Lake Louise is 36 miles from Banff
Would you say an extra night in jasper rather than Banff? Is kamloops Worth 2 nights? Edited at 06:41 PM. |

Unless you were gonna splash out and stay at the Chateau at Lake Louise, which is stunning, I would just visit from Banff. We were in Banff in January and even with the wintery weather it was 45mins to Lake Louise.
No personal experience but my parents didn't even think Kamloops was worth one night. I personally would want an extra night on Vancouver Island. In Whistler, I highly recommend the zip lining, its awesome!

Lake Louise is about a 40-45 minute drive from Banff.
You could easily fill 3 nights in Jasper - we visited the Jasper end of the Icefields Parkway, the Columbia Icefields, plus Maligne Lake and Canyon, all from our base in Jasper. Plan on spending a full day travelling between Banff or Lake Louise to Jasper as there will be lots of stop and explore. Many others also visit the Columbia Icefields on this day, but we didn’t want to leave all our luggage in the car while we did this. As for Kamloops, I would say it is NOT worth 2 nights there. It’s a bit of a necessary evil to stay there, to break up a long journey, but it’s only a bed to sleep in.

Completely agree!
I understand why people stay in Kamloops but I think I’d actually rather do an 8 hour drive to Whistler, rather than stop in Kamloops again.
