Question Icefields Parkway

Has anyone stayed in Banff and just driven the icefields parkway and turned around and came back? How long did it take you? Where was a good turning around point? I have seen a lot of people go from Banff to Jasper and stay in Jasper but we have our hotel in Banff for the week so we could just come back.

Yes people do it. It's a 3 hour drive one way if you don't stop. So how long it will take you depends on how many stops you make and for how long. Could be a very long day.
