Useful Tips

If you have more time, consider adding a visit to other national parks such as Glacier National Park, Kootenay National Park, or Mount Revelstoke National Park. You could also spend more days camping and hiking in each park if outdoor adventure is your main goal.

If you have less time, consider visiting only the national parks closest to Toronto and Vancouver or trimming down your stay to just one of the provinces. You could also opt for day hikes instead of camping to save time and money.
