We have been to all your planned stops. I believe it is ambitious to do Banff and Jasper with the previous places. Might want to visit Canadian Rockies on another trip. And even with the strong American dollar it is very expensive. Food and lodging was very high last fall. I believe you really need more time at Yellowstone. It is huge. Last words - our nation along with Canada is beautiful with spectacular scenery. Worth every penny and amount of time !

FWIW. Part-time seasonal work is available in Yellowstone … The Helping Hands Program for a 5-week gig. Either in the Spring or Fall to help get things opened up. I participated in Spring 2023 and met a lot of retirees in the program, singles (mostly women) to couples, living in their RVs or in the dorms. There was a mix of people from all socio-econmic backgrounds. Xanterra or the parks provided many recreational programs outside of work.

Minimum of 20 hours a week. A lot of people work two 8-hour days, one 4-hour day which left a lot of time during the week to explore the park and surrounding areas. I met so many independent women from all over the States who spend their seasons working at many of the national parks.
