BC Rockies- Kootenay Natl Forest

Can anyone tell me what the closest major airport is to this area? It says its about 70 miles (113KM) southwest of Banff. Any recommendations on car rentals in that area?

Thanks!! http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

Patty,
I went to Mount Panorama over Chrismas ( see www.panoramaresort.com and getting here for the airports you might be referring to ) and looked at various possible connections to the area but there did not appear to be too may subload options ( granted I was coming in from the UK ) so I opted for Calgary ( YYC ). Most of the usual rental car suspects are available there. Depending upon where in the park you are going it is about a 3 hour drive however once you get into the mountains of the Banff National Park it is a stunning drive.

Thanks for the info! YYC is noted! http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Hi sorry I have been absent from the forum for a while. Britski is right, the closest international airport is YYC. Any other connection you made would only reduce the drive slightly, and the drive is truly beautiful. FYI, the highest point on the entire TransCanada highway about 1/2 hour outside of Calgary, not in Rogers Pass as you would think! Please let me know if you would like any more information on the area.
