Check on the getting a Park Pass, helps with day fees & maybe camping fees & when we had one it had many coupons for sites & sights. We used it at Jasper, Banff & Waterton Nat'l Parks.
Several Campgrounds in the Banff area, one near Lake Louise, too. Also Jasper, etc.
Might still be Skiing? http://www.onthesnow.com/calgary/ski-resorts.html
Calculate the cost to see if it would be a good deal with the number of days staying, etc.
Down by the US Border near Waterton Nat'l Park (Glacier Nat'l PK in US), Fort Macleod, Alberta, the first RCMP made an appearence. It was in the general area of a neat site, Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump. Really neat place to see. http://history.alberta.ca/headsmashedin/ Ft. Macleod was interesting http://www.fortmacleod.com/visiting/

There is a hot spring resort in the Jasper area, very nice. The ride onto the icefields between Jasper & Baniff is neat. Icefield :::::::::::: Hot Springs
