Jasper and Banff area recommendations
Posted: Thu Jun 21, 2012 8:30 am
I'm going to be around Jasper and Banff during the week of 4th of July (roadtrip from Seattle) with my dad and wanted to tap the wisdom of the locals with regards to this area. I bought Alan Kane's guide and looked through SP pages, but I'm still having a hard time picking what to see. We will have about 6 non-driving days. We can do a couple strenuous outings and a couple moderate ones.
My dad and I are both seasoned scramblers and will also be bringing an ice axe, crampons, and potentially a short rope for rapping. What are some "must see" scrambles and routes in the area? I understand that there's enough for several lifetimes, but just trying to get a mental picture to prioritize.
Thanks in advance!
