What is the best driving route from Vancouver to Banff?

My boyfriend and I are taking a trip to Banff to go snowboarding. What’s the best route if we want to drive there?

The skiing and snowboarding in Banff are world-class! The best driving route from Vancouver to Banff is to take Trans-Canada Hwy/BC-1 E. The trip is almost 10 hours long.
Of course, you’ll want to make a couple of stops along the way. We recommend:
  • Glacier National Park of Canada: Part of a system of 43 parks across Canada. Stop for a hike or admire the beautiful scenery.
  • Emerald Lake: Located in Yoho National Park, British Columbia, Canada. Stop to take some photos. The lake is literally emerald green.
Be sure to double-check your
car insurance
policy before you set off. Is it equipped with
towing and labor coverage
? It would be a bummer to break down along the way without assistance—use the
