Between Hope and Kamloops take the TransCanada Highway (1)
rather than the quicker Coquihalla Highway (5). The scenery along the
Fraser River canyon shouldnt be missed just to drive 20 km / hr faster

Take the time when in Clearwater to visit Wells Gray Park, the scenery is
fantastic
especially Helmcken falls

Jasper to Banff is an easy days drive and what lodging there is costs
big time. Banff is pretty pricey too and a little too commercial for
my money. As an alternative there are some nice B&B's and Lodges
in Field BC close to Lake Louise and that way you can take in
Yoho NP as well. The Takakkaw falls alone are worth that side trip
