I’ve got a business trip November 10. I’ll need to drive from Calgary to Edmonton. I’ve done this drive on HWY 2 many times, and I’d like to take a long way along Icefields Pkwy. I drive the Coquihalla often and can confidently drive mountain passes.

That aside, I do know Icefields is a whole different beast. Is it a ridiculous idea to make that drive in November, or is it reasonable assuming Alberta 511 indicates it’s clear to packed snow? I would be hitting the road around 6am in Calgary.

What do I need to bring for clothes. I’m going with my girlfriend the week before Christmas.

What should I pack, what weather can I expect, food recs ????
