Banff/Canmore/Jasper
Hi,
Our family of 5 (ages 22, 25, 27) is planning a 9 day trip in mid August to celebrate my 60th birthday, flying into Calgary. I am looking for suggestions on what areas to stay, and what is a must see. We found a VRBO in Canmore (haven't booked anything yet), would that be a good base to explore Banff, Lake Louise and Moraine Lake? I know Jasper is several hours away; is it worthwhile to find a place there for a few nights and divide our stay between the two areas, or is there plenty to do staying in Canmore with day trips? We like nature but are not real experienced hikers. Thank you in advance for your suggestions.
Kind Regards,
Marty

If that is your intention -- instead of topping old/out of date threads -- start a thread of your own with useful recommendations. Many posters will not notice the dates/that the trip is over and waste their time trying to help the OP.
