Banff/Lake Louise in September--good idea?
We are thinking about touring Banff in mid-to-late September in a 34 foot motorhome with no towed-vehicle. Is that a reasonable proposition?

We don't tow a vehicle either, although we are only 25’, and made it work there in June this year. Parking in the crowded streets of Banff is difficult.
If you can get a copy, the town prints a color brochure called "RV Parking in Banff" which shows some RV lots about 15 minutes (walking) from the town center. Parking on streets is allowed unless the signs say otherwise. Some street parking is marked for RVs "only during summer."
If you stay at the Tunnel Mountain campground, you can do what we did and take the ROAM public transit bus into town and other attractions. It's free leaving the campground, $2 other rides, or $5 for an unlimited adult day pass.
