Approx driving times non-stop
Calgary - Banff 1 hr 15 mins
Banff - Jasper 3 hrs (1)
Jasper - Clearwater dont know
Clearwater - Kamloops dont know
Kamloops - Rogers Pass 2 hrs 30 mins (2)
Rogers P. - Calgary 2 hrs 45 mins (3)
(1) I would leave a full day for this drive. There is some gorgeous
scenery especially around the Columbia Icefields area.
(2) Revelstoke is an interesting little town about 30 minutes before
Rogers Pass. Revelstoke Dam and Railway Museum are both worth
visiting.
(3) Rogers Pass Visitors is very interesting and there are lots of
side diversions with brief walks around this area.
Take your time on this whole loop and really enjoy the scenery.

Jasper to Clearwater - 2-3 hours.
Clearwater to Kamloops - 2 hours.
Please note. I have never travelled at or under the speed limit in B.C.
Also, I'm not sure which side of Blue River, Clearwater is on, and I've
almost always used Blue River as a midway point on my trips to
Vancouver. I'm assuming that ClearWater is further West than Blueriver.
Have fun,
Ron
