[QUOTE="user 6393, post: 1383249, member: 6393"] End of June to Labour Day is busy in any destination town in BC/AB as, yes, school is out and folks are holidaying. That said, the Icefields Parkway isn't what I would call a jam packed road; it's not the Greater Vancouver/Lower Mainland area by any stretch...It's 2 lane rural national park roadways. There are ways to avoid crowds, for sure, but you will be paying high season accommodations as well, and if camping, you'll want to reserve spots during those months. Shoulder months can be amazing for riding here, but there is a bit more chance of rain at lower elevations, and snow at elevation. I have ridden well into November here in sunny dry warm temps, but to plan and guarantee that kind of weather? Ya...no. In the lower parts of the province our weather is much like that of Seattle. This year we had sunny and warm until a week ago, but the snow has been in the mtn passes for a few weeks now. The first two weeks of Sept, which lines up perfectly for Ray's RR would be a great time to see Banff and Jasper, but I would go through there on the way TO the Rueben Run, not after. But that's just me...YMMV [/QUOTE]
