Hello biggy47,

Some parts of your itinerary are good. However, I think you've allocated one day too many to Jasper (just my opinion, in the light of the other things you say you want to fit into your trip). Also, I don't know if you realise that Johnston Canyon and Banff townsite are SE of Lake Louise, while Emerald Lake and Takakkaw Falls are west of Lake Louise. It would not be so easy to combine leisurely visits to all of them in the same day. Still another thing you may not realise (if I've understood you correctly) is that Takakkaw Falls, the town of Field and Emerald Lake are in Yoho National Park. Yoho NP occupies the territory from the Alberta / BC border, just west of Lake Louise, and the town of Golden.

Here is a clockwise itinerary that I think is more efficient than the one you've drawn up. However, my itinerary does not permit time for Kananaskis Country.

June 14 - Arrive Calgary. Visit Royal Tyrrell Museum. Overnight in Drumheller. The dinosaur skeletons are absolutely amazing, but it's best to get the drive across the prairies out of the way first. Driving across the prairies will be underwhelming if you do it after the mountains. In Drumheller consider River Bend B&B, Heartwood Inn or Best Western Jurassic Inn.

June 15 - Drive Drumheller to Waterton (5 hours, not counting stops). Visit Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump Interpretive Centre between Fort Macleod and Pincher Creek on the way there. That, along with lunch, will turn this into an 8-hour exercise.

June 16 - Hang out in Waterton Lakes National Park.

June 17 - Drive to Nelson, BC (about 7 hours).

June 18 & 19 - Stay in the charming town of Nelson, fish nearby, and perhaps soak in hot springs in the area.

June 20 - Drive to Revelstoke, and overnight there. This trip will involve catching a free ferry from Galena Bay to Shelter Bay. The trip takes about 4-1/2 hours.

June 21 - Drive to Lake Louise. Your trip will take you through the town of Golden, and through Yoho National Park, where you can visit Emerald Lake and Takakkaw Falls. The nominal drive is 3 hours, but you will add an hour to it if you only look at Emerald Lake and Takakkaw Falls, and you'll add a couple of hours to that if you walk the lakeshore path around Emerald Lake.

June 22 - Visit Moraine Lake, hike to Larch Valley. If you're staying at Deer Lodge, it will be no effort to see the lake of Lake Louise, because the hotel is not much more than a stone's throw from it. The lake is 3 miles from the village of the same name.

June 23 - Drive to Jasper.

June 24 & 25 - Hang out in Jasper.

June 26 - Drive from Jasper to Banff, visiting Johnston Canyon on the way. If your flight the next day departs at noon or later, you could overnight in Banff or Canmore. If your flight departs the next morning, drive all the way to Calgary on June 26th.

June 27 - Fly out. You haven't actually said which day you depart, but I'm extrapolating it from things you've said in other posts.

If you want to keep the first part of your itinerary as it is, I will try to figure out an itinerary for the June 21 - 27 portion of your trip, but I'll do that in another post, as this one probably is long enough already.

Here's an itinerary that preserves the reservations you've already made.

June 21 & 22 - Try to extend your stay at Deer Lodge by 2 nights. This will permit you to visit Yoho National Park and Banff townsite and its environs on separate days. It also will permit you to spend an additional day driving down through Kootenay National Park to Radium Hot Springs and Fairmont Hot Springs.

June 23, 24 & 25 - Hike, fish, golf in Kananaskis Country. The only accommodation I've used in Kananaskis Country is my tent. However, Mount Engadine Lodge has received complimentary reviews on this forum. In addition to that, there are a couple of hotels in Kananaskis Village. (The hotels have the word "Kananaskis" in their names, so a Google search will bring them up.)

June 26 - Drive to Drumheller, see the Tyrrell, and drive to Calgary for the night.

June 27 - Fly home.

To answer your question about markets in Calgary. Crossroads Market is a covered craft market, antique market, collectors' market, multicultural food fair and year-round, indoor farmers' market. The craft / collectors' market operates 9 - 5 Sat & Sun. The farmers' market operates Fri - Sun. During the summer months there is an outdoor farmers' market. It's situated at 1235 - 26th Ave SE (corner of Blackfoot Trail and Odgen Road). I would not travel from far away to go to the Crossroads Market (just my opinion).

If you like crafts, you can find some cute things in the hamlet of Bragg Creek, between Calgary and Kananaskis Country. You'll also find some interesting / artsy things in Nelson, BC. The town of Nanton, which is on Hwy #2 on the way from Calgary to Waterton Lakes National Park, has some antique stores. In Calgary, the neighbourhood of Inglewood, on 9th Avenue SE, just east of the downtown core, has a couple of interesting antique stores. There are crafts and artwork available in Banff, but they are expensive compared with the stuff you can find in the other towns I've mentioned.

Hope that helps.

Judy
You are a whiz. Thanks. I will see if I can make the changes.

The only thing I can add is to factor Kooteney NP into your ideas as well.
It has a few very nice hikes in it.
I like the Stanley Glacier basin.
Once you are in the basin, you can improvise to several objectives visible from the floor of the valley.

And if you are a strong hiker, the Rock Wall and Floe Lake is a worthy objective.

South of Banff, along the Spray Lakes road are many opportunities.

I don't know if Marble Canyon will reopen or not. A forest fire got the bridges and the walk was closed off last year.

If the Parker Ridge hike is open, I recommend it. A lot of reward for minimal effort. And Panther Falls, which are 5.5 miles south of the Banff-Jasper park boundary. The falls are but a short walk from the lower end of the parking lot area. But, as I have told before, you will get wet because of the spray from the falls.

I still chuckle when I am remember the time my wife and I came back dripping wet on a sunny day. And old codger (probably a little younger than I am) was sitting there and could not figure where we went to get so wet.

I think my wife said something helpful like "We went swimming."

The attraction is that Panther Falls, or the Falls of Nigel Creek, are the highest in Banff park.

I second Judy's mention of Emerald Lake.
It is pretty and set in a glacial outwash plain.

The other attractions of Yoho require some effort, e.g. the Iceline Trail.

How lucky you are to have 12 days. Last fall we only had 6 days to see the area and would love to return.
I also recommend that you do the Parker Ridge hike--"on top of the world views" with minimal effort.
I would recommend skipping Johnston Canyon--our least favorite hike--we only did it because it was raining that day. It was really crowded---we enjoyed the Maligne Canyon hike much more--we started at the fifth bridge.
Larch Valley and Consolation Lake both required groups of 6 hikers to do the trails because of grizzlies--so we missed these 2. There is a board to post your name if you would like to hike and need more hikers.
We enjoyed hiking to the teahouse at Lake Agnes--it's a busy hike but beautiful at the top. We actually continued on to the Big Beehive and Plain of Six Glaciers but that's optional.
We only decided to visit a month in advance and all the Lake Louise lodgings were booked but Emerald Lake Lodge was available for $250CAD. What a break for us. Although our weather was less than perfect, we fell in love with this place, the setting is spectacular and it is an easy and spectacular 30 minute drive into Lake Louise.
Have a wonderful trip.

I don't have much to add since you have been given such great advice already. The tea house hikes at Lake Louise are wonderful. We also did the Lake Agnes/Big Beehive/Plain of Six Glacier hike and it was absolutely stunning. We really like the Johnston Canyon hike also, but we went way past where most people go and we continued up to the Ink Pots. Once you get onto the real trail there are very few people and the pots are beautiful.
