When I first landed in Calgary<\/a><\/strong> with my mum, I had no idea how much that trip would change my life. The moment I first saw Banff, I fell in love \u2014 and it led to the most important decision I’ve ever made. That combination of the endless peaks of the Rocky Mountains and the incredible warmth of the local people hit me so hard that I decided to move here for a year.<\/p>\n

I lived in bustling Calgary<\/strong>, but Banff<\/a><\/strong>, nestled in its mountain valley, also became my home. My husband (then boyfriend) and I drove the route from Calgary to the US border twice and even ventured all the way up to Alaska<\/a><\/strong>, coming back down to Vancouver<\/a><\/strong>. While we lived there, every spare day was spent in the mountains.<\/p>\n

Yet when someone asks me for the best things to see, I always come back to the classic route. The loop from Alberta through the mountains to the Pacific is simply unbeatable. With a clear conscience and hand on heart, I can tell you that a Canada road trip itinerary<\/strong> through the west is the most beautiful journey you can take in your lifetime.<\/p>\n

I’ve put together an itinerary and tips that don’t come from travel brochures but from our own thousands of kilometres behind the wheel, nights spent in the Canadian wilderness, and countless coffees in local bistros.<\/p>\n
