I want to do this but want to end in Jasper then take the Via to Vancouver.
I would do the tour supported I think. A lot less mess with hotels and someone has your back. I really like that idea.
See post 35. Banff to Jasper is better. Supported or not, do it. I think it is as good as it gets for 3-4 days tour. Since you can stay in hostels and don't need camping gear, it is a great one for self-supporting. However, if significant other would not be interested in riding, driving/hiking along could be a good option and you get a SAG car. However, please note that cell phone reception is not working in 50+% of the way. So clever arrangements for SAG required...
