Family trip - Victoria-Kamloops-Jasper-Banff-Kelowna-Vancouver

Hi,

My family (including 2 teens & my wife) are planning 7-days trip based this route starting this weekend (July 13-20):

- Victoria to Kamloops [stay 1x night]

- Kamloops to Jasper (check out Helmcken Falls & Mt Robson on the way) - [stay 2x nights]

- Jasper to Lake Louise/Banff (stay in Lake Louise area but drive to Banff) - [stay 1x or 2x nights]

- Lake Louise/Banff to Sicamous (check out Halcyon Hotspring near Revelstoke) - [stay 1x night]

- Sicamous to Kelowna (check out Salmon Arm & nearby lake area) - [stay 1x night]
Kelowna to Vancouver/Victoria

I do want to spend couple of nights in key locations like Jasper & Lake Louise or Banff.

Besides advice on cities and hotels/B&B for the overnight stay, any recommendations on "must visit" vs. "may visit" places will be helpful. Thanks a lot in advance

Regards,
- S

On your way back from Lake Louise/Banff, you can stop off to see where the last spike was driven for the Canadian Pacific Railroad - Craigellachie.
