the road condition is pretty good, we have driven about 2000 miles and didn't realized any major rock chips on the paint.

Great photos! I toured the Canadian Rockies in '99. The most incredible scenery I've ever seen.
Were you actually able to camp in the Icefields parking lot?

Yeah, we parked at Icefields Centre RV, it has quite a lot space but only a few RVs. The night out there was most impressive experience in the trip, the dining view is incredible.

Titz Pics! Very well done, imo.
We were at most of those spots last summer...the CDA Rockies were nearly the highlight of our 13,000 mile trip. We 'motel'd it', however. Looking to go back. BR, mD

Nice pictures, and a great trip. We are in Vancouver, have a daughter in Calgary, and drive those roads regularly. I remember camping in Larabee many years back. Good day's drive to Jasper. We were in Calgary two weeks ago and cycled from Canmore to Banff and back. Your pictures bring back the (recent) memories.
Your Airstream looks pretty light, it should tow beautifully. Sunny: Rocks on the road are fine in summer. No trouble with stone chips. Not so much Oct - April.
