We would like to visit the province of Alberta. We would like to go up to
Lake Banff, Jasper & Lake Louise. We live in Phoenix, Az so we were
thinking
of flying to Calgary and renting a car to drive up to these sites.

Flying to Calgary is a good choice.

You should book your rental car in advance. Cars are very expensive when
beeing booked in the Rockies, especially in Banff. (It ist possible to get
there by shuttle directly from Banff Airport).

What time
of the year is it a good time to visit these sites?

Depends on what you want to do.
Best time for walking is July to August or to September but be aware it
can be could in late September.
Autumn, however, is said to be a very nice time, too.

I did this trip - with additional travelling to Vancouver Island and
Olympic NP - in July in 2002 and had 20 days of sun with temperatures in
the high 70s (F)
:-)


Does anyone know what
the costs are to stay up at Banff or Lake Louise?? Is it cheaper to stay
in
a lodge or hotel outside of Banff or Lake Louise??

There are not many accomodations outside these little towns and there are
no cheap ones. (Cheapest is the very comfortable youth hostel in banff
which provides double rooms but it is booked early in the year)

There are some options. The Kicking Horse Lodge in Field BC isnt
that far from Lake Louise and there are some B&B's there too.

There's some train noise but its not too bad IMHO, I'll be back
there in late June for a few days anyway :)

Towards Calgary rates in Canmore can be pretty reasonable in summer.

A pissweak tadpole is in the G8, in preference to countries that actually
have some power?

What a joke. It's the G8, not a maple leaf smoking ceremony..

Why not ask some Canadians?
Good idea!

With a bit of advance notice, you can rent any kind of vehicle you want in
Vancouver. I suggest you and your friend with the back problem visit a few
of the new car dealers in your home town and pick 2 or 3 models that have
the right kind of support. (I suggest that the type of seat covering --
leather or otherwise -- is irrelevant.)

Then make the rounds of the large international car rental agencies in
your home town; you want the district office, not one of the street-level
offices; they will be happy to make arrangements with their Vancouver
district office. Do NOT attempt to make them responsible for selecting
the car with the best seats -- that's your job!

You can probably obtain the best possible price for the car rental by
making the arrangements before you get here; ask for a package that
includes rental, mileage and insurance. You may find that one of your
credit cards includes insurance, which is a major portion of the overall
rental cost.

I am planing a road trip through BC and Alberta over 20 days, starting and
finishing in Vancouver.
Could anyone advise of their experience with car hire in Vancouver?
One of the travellers has a back problem so comfort is very important. My
experience has been that the more upmarket cars with leather seats seem
to have better comfort. I am not familiar with North American models and
would appreciate any guidance on car selection. As a comparison, we have
hired a Nissan maxima which proved to be excellent for comfort.
Thanks

here in Switzerland, we use often red paintings for this of

like this there is no doubt.

I was going to ask if any country ever used any color of roadway
paint
other than yellow and white (excluding curb colors to indicate no
parking,
parking spot paint such as handicap parking, anything on private

etc.)

We are planning a stay at Niagara-on-the-Lake in June but have
no firsthand input about hotels/Inns or Guesthouses.
Can anyone recommend pleasant places suitable for active
senior couples?

Not 'negatives' - 'negations' is the much more appropriate term:
