Idaho and Montana Experts Advice

Long story short. I made reservations for Glacier National Park 27 Jul - 2 Aug. I was planning on going to Banff next but never heard back on my reservation request in Calgary - so I thought I was out of luck.

Well, Calgary reservations came thru and now I have reservations 7-11 Aug.

Question - What to do see/do between 2 Aug and 7 Aug? I have never been to this area so a complete novice.

I see many things missing here! Calgary is a pretty good ride from Banff and all it has to offer including Lake Louise and some great trails such as Johnston Canyon. Getting a reservation inside Banff at Tunnel Mountain is ideal but even Canmore is much closer and has some decent RV Parks. A trip to Banff is incomplete without a trip up the Icefield Parkway to Jasper and a couple of nights in that area. If you are coming from the East side of Glacier, a few nights in Waterton National Park is also in order.
