Shortest route is via Japser. HWY 5 was not in good condition but still OK. The worst part had about 5 accidents within 10KM because the road is very slippery. I would recommend you leave around 6A.M and you should arrive vancouver around 11P.M(there is an extra hour during the time zone change.) I drive there back and forth during Christmas. If this is only for travel, I would recommend use the route via Banff and stay over night at Radium hot Spring. 1 r2 z s0 Z5 K: S& Y7 e y9 |& o
