Calling Canada
Hi, my partner and I are shortly going on a trip to Canada. Starting at Vancouver and then going in to the Rockies. Passing through Whistler, Jasper, Clearwater and of course smaller towns. Departing from Calgary. I just wondered if their might be any Cruise night or shows along the way that we might be able to make.
Many Thanks

Are you renting and driving throught the Rockies ?
That will be a nice trip for you. So much to see. There is a car museum located in or near Sicamous, BC as well as the local car shows.
We are 20 mins west of Calgary. Keep us posted and message me if you need anything on your trip through.

There is a place you might want to stop at for parts in Langley near Vancouver. It is best to ask well in advance if you need them to order stuff in though, They are very helpful.

Decent weather
Hi...great trip so far and fantastic scenery. Been looking at the car show lists sent earlier. Tomorrow (Sunday) we are travelling between Whistler making our way to Jasper. Would there be any shows close to that route ?.

Banff had a mini car show yesterday but rain "dampened" the day.

Whistler to Jasper would be a very ambitious day, doable but a lot of windshield time. You would probably go Highway 5 to Kamloops, then Jasper. H% bipasses a lot of the smaller towns. Are you planing on driving south from Jasper to Banff, then Calgary ? A very scenic drive (1 Day with lots of photo ops). The road parallels the mountains, so lots of views.

Canmore is a good town
Hi, sorry for the delay in my reply. Yes you are exactly right, that is our intended route. In Clearwater now and off to Jasper tomorrow (Tuesday). Fantastic scenery and some good bird life...but only one bear so far. Hoping to be able to photograph a bear or two if we get the chance. Finishing off in Canmore for the last couple of nights before heading for Calgary airport. On Father’s Day saw several old trucks coming off the ferry at Departure Bay, looks like their must have been a show on the island. Just bad timing for us as we were leaving the island.

Canmore is less commercial than Banff, a bit cheaper but both have great scenery and good hiking. Lake Louise, Bow Falls in Banff; Grassi Lakes in Canmore.

those in the wild. And stay away from any cubs. Momma bear will NOT accept any interference.
Pictures?
