If you wish to shorten the adventure, consider trimming the Toronto segment to three days and combining Calgary and Edmonton into a single urban hub, which can reduce the itinerary to around 21 days while still covering the major highlights. Conversely, to extend your experience, add extra days in Banff and Jasper for deeper hikes like the Icefield Trail or a multi‑day backpacking trip, and allocate an additional 3‑4 days to explore the lesser‑known Kananaskis Country area south of Calgary.
