From Castle Junction, which is where you turn off the Trans Canada Highway, without stops, it's about 1 hour, 20 minutes to Radium. Due to the current wildfire situation, they frequently close this stretch of highway, so if you're driving through in the next few weeks, be sure to have a back-up plan (with enough time, as alternate routes are very long). The scenery is great in Kootenay National Park, but this road can be a bit frenetic, as many A-type Calgarians have vacation properties in the Columbia Valley, or are just in a hurry to get there to start a vacation, and they can speed like crazy. We'd avoid, for example, driving this route Friday night, Saturday morning, or Sunday afternoon... Other than that, it's really great... The only "real" washrooms are at Kootenay Information Centre (and there's a fabulous restaurant there too, but call ahead for open hours, it's not open a lot), but lots of pit toilets at the trailheads and picnic area.

Q:
How long does it take to drive through the park?
A:
It.depends upon how many stops you make. I took three hours but stopped many times to photograph the varied landscape. If you don't stop 1:45 hours end to end.
