We were in parts of that route last fall about the same time you will be there. We loved the area north of the Lake of the Woods around Kenora and Riding Mountain National Park northwest of Winnipeg. Wonderful scenery, clear lakes, great boating/kayaking/fishing, lots of wildlife (including a bull moose standing in the center of Route 10 in RMNP and stopping traffic in both directions). We were camped in a FHU campground in Wasagaming, MB, over a beautiful, sunny, fall weekend and the town was virtually empty.
We were also in Waterton NP in mid-September a few years earlier. Followed a herd of bighorn sheep into town (very slowly) on the only access road. It rained hard one night while we were there, but there were still enough leaves left to get some great fall-color photos.
I'm a geologist, so I admit to being biased, but the Paleontology Museum in Drumheller is not to be missed.
We love traveling that time of the year!
