Default Driving From Jasper to Vancouver

Hello There!

We were planning a trip out west at the end of this summer. We have
read that the drive from Jasper to Vancouver is quite long and that
stop overnight is necessary. Mapquest and a few other directional
sites tell me that it's only about 8.5 hours. I understand that they
do not take into consideration the traffic duration. Could somebody
here please give me some advice as to how many hours the drive would
last. The distance is about 500 miles. Thanks!

Alex

I went back to Vancouver from Jasper in June.

You have approximately 850 km or 10 hours driving, so it is too much
for one day and one driver (if you come back by KAMLOOPS, not Kelowna)

I drove approximately 700 km and stopped at Chilliwack (1h15mn before
vancouver) and found a cheap motel. (cheap means 59 CAD +taxes)

But do not forget : very heavy traffic in the morning on freeway 1,
driving time may be more than 1h15.

I hope I have helped ;-)
