Calgary Jasper LL Banff

My wife and I are planning a 10-day trip to Calgary, looping thru Jasper, Lake Louise, Banff, and then back to Calgary.

Q#1: Apart from Calgary, (we are staying 3-4 days) how many days would you recommend we stay in each locale?

Calgary _3_
Jasper ___
Lake Louise ___
Banff ___
Calgary _1_

Q#2: From Calgary, Which loop route is best?

A) Calgary to Lake Louise (1 hr,44 min), to Jasper (3' 31"), back to Lake Louise, Banff (20 min), then Calgary?

or

B) Calgary to Jasper (5 1/2 hours driving), then work your way back to Calgary via Lake Louise (3 hrs, 31"), Banff to Calgary.

Thanks all!

Banff and Lake Louise are very close to each other, you can do them both in 2 days. IMHO, LL is nicer than Banff.

My wife and I are doing a trip to Edmonton (1 day), then off to Jasper (2 days), LL (3 days) and then Calgary (2 days).

I think route A is best. Leave room for the Icefields Parkway, its amazing!

I would overnight in Banff, travel and overnight in Jasper and then head to Lake Lousie in the morning.

It's a great Ttrip!!
