During the Spring Festival, I went to Vancouver and found it particularly cold this year. What is the road situation like if I go to Banff? Do I need snow tires? I rented a Grand Cherokee ?

It seems that snow tires are needed to enter the Rocky Mountains from October 30th to the following year.

The same route as you, also during the Spring Festival, full of anxiety.

Phoned Hertz and he said their car is full season tyre now, no need to change to snow tyre separately. Hehe. Other companies need to wait until they arrive to find out if they provide snow tyre.

Currently the biggest problem I encountered and hope everyone knows, today from Jasper to play out 93 Glacier Avenue to reach near Lake Louise normally want to pass through the nearby highway exit through Field to reach Golden, but the highway has been closed causing to go from Lake Louise back to Banff. The middle of the highway goes to the hot springs of Radium, more than 100 kilometers, in the complete darkness of the mountains, it is very challenging, and it is not easy to follow the car. Even my 20-year-old driver feels quite difficult, and there is also a lot of pressure from the heavy truck behind. The cars in this area have all changed lanes. Last week, someone said it was blocked for five hours from Golden to Banff. Combined with my situation today, friends from Jasper or Banff back to Vancouver should be fully prepared ? Canada Q&A

In fact, it's almost the same as in China. If you are a good driver in China, you will have no problem in Canada! When you rent a car, the website will tell you about the traffic rules and insurance in Canada. The service is very good. There is no toll on Canadian highways. The drivers there drive very strictly. When our domestic traffic is also like this, it will be a real strong country. Gasoline is cheaper than in China, about 5.6 RMB per liter, and there are differences in different places. Remember to fill up the gas (87 octane) if you have the chance ? Canada Q&A

Today we are going from Kanmore to Jasper. Does anyone know how to buy tickets and where to buy them? (Yesterday afternoon, we went from Kanmore to Bow Falls and Surprise Corner. The navigation guided us to walk outside the ticketing lane. Will they make us walk outside again today? Wouldn't that be ticket dodging?) ? Canada Q&A
