If you don’t mind driving in the mountains and want to see a ton of Mountains, Lakes and streams try this route
Come across below Lethbridge / Fort Macleod Alberta, at Fort Macleod head north on Hwy 2 to Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump then head north again on Hwy 2 to Naton Alberta. Just south of Naton turn west on Hwy 533, this is a short hop over to Hwy 22. Once at Hwy 22 head north (right turn) and follow this road all the way to where is meets the Trans Canada Hwy 1. Head towards Banff, get fuel at either the Petrocan at the Junction of Hwy 22 and Hwy 1 or a short pull to Deadman Flats on Hwy 1, both have easy access for fuel when pulling a 5er, much easier than in Banff.
There is a great campground in Banff where you can drop the 5er and go site seeing. Head north up the Trans Canada Hwy to Lake Louise. You can use Lake Louise as a base camp (another great campground) and drive up and down Hwy 1 rather than stay in Banff or say in both places. Head North up the Ice Field Parkway to Jasper ( Hwy 93) ( another great campground in Jasper) . There is lots to see and do between the three towns, which are very touristy so don’t be surprised at the number of People in the park(s) Head west of Jasper on Hwy 16 to Mount Robson British Columbia, which is the tallest Mountain in the Canadian Rockies . Nice campground on the left hand side of the Hwy, actually there is a campground on both sides of the campground, however the right hand side of the hwy when heading west is the original campground and the sites are very small.
Follow Hwy 16 to Tete’ Jaune and then head south on Hwy 5 towards Kamloops. At Kamloops you can either go West and take Hwy 1 down the Frazer Canyon all the way to the Lower mainland of BC ( Vancouver area) or head east a short distance to Hwy 97 towards Vernon and then head south again on 97 towards Kelowna . Now you’re starting to head directly south which can take you back into the USA at Osoyoos. The Okanogan Valley (south of Kamloops to Osoyoos) is the heart of wine country with tons of wineries all over the Valley. There is other routes with more lakes and more mountains and rivers as well as other sites to see and things to do, that I can tell you about, but this is a pretty great trip which my DW and I have done in part and completely many times.
Now you have to Google some of the areas I have mentioned.

Now that my DW is retired, I am planning a simular trip starting in late July. We are going through Oregon on hwy 97 through Wash. up into BC to Prince Rupert then back down through Bannif. The DW is hoping to see some fall colors early and I am hoping she will let me so some fly fishing along the way.

I am also looking at all the info we can get for this trip. We will be traveling in our fifth wheel and brining our boat I've heard that there is an inspection at the crossing for the boat, don't have that confirmed yet.

Does anyone know where to get a good map for BC?
