I've done this trip a few times and it's pretty hard to do it in less then 5 hours. From Edmonton it's three hours to Cowtown (that's without stopping in Red Deer). Add a 1/2 hour if you stop. It takes a 1/2 hour to get through Cowtown (if you don't stop) and two hours to the Crowsnest. If you push it you could shave off 1/2 hour (not that I would condone such a thing). If it's a one day trip, it a tough one. I have a hard time even doing the one day Calagary trips now-a-days but they are fun and there's very little pressure on the river in March.
