If you can find you way as far north as Edmonton, I strongly recommend highway 16 thru Jasper then Highway 5 via Valemont to Kamloops to Hope then you're home free to Whistler. The alternate is highway 1 from Calgary via Canmore and Golden but the road is very busy; 2 lane a lot of the way, hilly and stressful. The Jasper route is some of the most scenic driving you'll ever experience and is a pleasure to drive ... especially with a trailer following you. The route makes extensive use of valleys so any elevation change is gentle. It's two lane much of the way as well but with the much lighter traffic load, it doesn't become a problem.
