There is a campground called Two Oclock Creek, near Abraham Lake. A nearby hike will be Siffluer Falls. Highly recommend!

Ok, so I'm going to take you up on ...Hey Tanya! Ok, so I'm going to take you up on the questions offer- I'm struggling to figure out what's worth it in this area for our 10 day trip to Yoho/Banff/Jasper. Me and my husband plan to drive from Spokane and camp our way through the parks coming in on August 6 and leaving the 16. Here are a couple things I'm wondering:<br />1. Is it worth staying in Yoho for 2-3 nights and hitting some spots around there?? I was thinking Emerald Lake, Takakkaw Falls, Lake O'Hara day, and maybe even Lake Louise while we're over there. It seems like all of these would be convenient to Kicking Horse.<br /><br />2. I'm working really hard to reserve campsites at Two Jack Lakeside. Is it worth arranging the trip to make that happen?? *so sad I started planning after the reservation date opened!) I've heard it's really the best Banff Campground but wondering HOW good it really is.<br /><br />Here's a tentative campsite itinerary:<br /><br />Saturday - fly into Spokane around 10:30pm, drive to Bonners Ferry and sleep for the night.<br /><br />Sunday - up early to cross Canada border, arrive at Yoho early in the day to secure campsite<br /><br />Sunday, Monday, Tuesday night- sleep in Yoho and do attractions on that side of the park<br /><br />Wednesday daytime- drive up Icefields<br /><br />Wednesday, Thursday, Friday nights- camp at Wapiti in Jasper<br /><br />Saturday daytime- Icefields Parkway other direction, camp at Mosquito Creek for night<br /><br />Sunday, Monday- camp at Two Jack Lakeside in Banff NP<br /><br />Tuesday- drive down to Creston for the night<br /><br />Wednesday- fly out of Spokane<br /><br />I had initially planned this because I wanted to hit Two Jack Lakeside in Banff on a weekday:<br /><br />Saturday- fly into Spokane at night and sleep in Bonner's Ferry<br /><br />Sunday- drive to Yoho and secure campsite for two nights<br /><br />Sunday, Monday- sleep in Yoho<br /><br />Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday nights- Banff (Two Jack Lakeside)<br /><br />Friday- drive up Icefields<br /><br />Friday, Saturday, Sunday nights- Jasper NP (Wapiti)<br /><br />Monday- drive down Icefields, stay at Mosquito Creek for night<br /><br />Tuesday- drive back to Spokane<br /><br />Any thoughts greatly appreciated!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18370879707284258653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890065673266941779.post-70747747608385926522016-01-27T08:21:07.830-07:002016-01-27T08:21:07.830-07:00So glad to hear Becca.
