Honestly, from Revelstoke there is no good way in to Alberta at the moment. The only way to go, as far as I can tell, would be to go west from Revelstoke to Highway 5, north to highway 16 and then east on highway 16 to Edmonton and then south on highway 2. This would take a very long time.
I really hope your dad is okay! Let us know when you hear from him.

He could get to Banff and even to Canmore, but a large portion of Canmore is evacuated to higher ground in Canmore, and I am sure every hotel/motel room is already taken in both communities, if they're not evacuated. That's why I figure Golden will already be stacking people up in the hotels/motels there. Could stay in Lake Louise but that's expensive. And I don't imagine Banff or Canmore want any more people in the town than they already have - they must be cram packed right now, with the road closed.
