Q: Vancouver to the rockies, 2 week road trip ideas?
Anyone got any itinerary/accomodation/campground suggestions? Late June; camping/b&b mix, start and finish in Vancouver and want to see Banff, Jasper naturally. Thanks.

A: A nice place to sight see & possibly stay is around Valemount BC & Mount Robson (largest peak in the Canadian Rockies). Robson Shadows Campground is a nice base to see the Mtn. You can rent cabins if you prefer that to a tent, also good to go whitewater rafting or even on a gentle float tour from here. Helicopter tours & heli-hiking are also available if that is in your budget. Awesome views! It can be a little cheaper staying in the Valemount area & is about 1 to 1 1/2 hrs drive to Jasper from there depending on how fast you like to drive ;-) . A pretty campground pretty much right in Valemount is called Swift Creek campground. There are also many hotel/motels & B & Bs available in that area too. Rear Guard Falls is a pretty walk. Between Jasper & Banff some nice little rest stop areas to check out are Honeymoon Lake, the water seems to be a little warmer than all the other glacier fed lakes & is even nice to swim in. You can camp here too. Bubbling Springs is a good place to stretch your legs & take a bathroom break. It is right beside the roadway – the water bubbles up from the ground & the sand is kind of pink – just a small spring. Horseshoe Lake is worth the little walk to find it. Very pretty & the water is so clear that from up on the rocky cliffside you can see the fish. The Columbia Ice Fields are worth a look & you can tour in an ice buggy if you want – there are some pretty campsites close by too. Num-Ti-Jah Lodge on Bow Lake is beautiful. I often stop there but have yet to spend a night. You can hike up on the glacier but may need to go with a group.

Q: I am thinking of spending summer working in Vancouver. Is this good plan/Other suggestions?
I have been offered accomodation for the summer months in Yaletown, Vancouver. I am currently a student in Britain. If I did take this opportunity, I was wondering when it would be best to go? I was thinking end of June till end of August? I was hoping to get a job as a waitress, or server as they are called. How hard is it to get that sort of job in that area? As an outgoing, adventurous person, would I enjoy a summer working in Vancouver?

I am open to any other suggestions for what to do with my summer – free accomodation is definitely the bonus in Vancouver though. Expensive flights are the only issue for me.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks!

A: yeah i think you should do it. If you’re outgoing and adventurous i dont think you”ll have too much problems picking up that kind of work. Vancouver gets a lot of tourists in the summer so restaurants and cafes will be busy. They dont pay great but people tend to tip over here anyways. Vancouver is expensive but as you have free accomodation i think you’ll be fine even on min wage.

And hey if it doesnt work out worst case scenario is that you just go home but you’ll still have had a couple of weeks on holiday. But i think you should def give it a go, van is great esp in summer :)
