    Hi, myself and my bf are arriving in Vancouver on 30th July on IEC Visas and plan to spend 2 weeks there and then do the Rocky mountains in August. does anyone know the best and cheapest way to do the Rockies? I would think hiring a car would allow us to see places at our own pace and places off the beaten track rather than a coach tour.
    Has anyone done this and have any advice? After that it will be look for jobs!

    Hiring a car would be the way to go in my opinion. And a decent map/guidebook of all the recommended sights to see. Lots of things to see along the Icefields Parkway from Banff to Jasper and then west towards Golden etc.

    Thanks for reply, I was actually looking up tours and came across a good tour with Moose travel. It collects you from Vancouver.
    With the car we would have to fly to calgary first but thats not too much trouble. Hiring a car will work out about the same expense as the
    tour, around 1000Euro each for approx 10 days, (flight, car hire, accomodation) i suppose its going to be expensive either way. .. we will have to decide soon!
