We are considering a similar trip in September. We tried to make reservations at Lake Louise Campground but it appears that they will not take reservations after September 2. I wonder if this means that there are not many people in that area at that time of year. Has anybody visited at that time of year? Do you think we could get a site on a first come-first serve basis???? We were hoping to spend about a week there. I get nervous driving that far without a reservation.
Don't worry about a reservation is Sep't. Subject to the weather it can be the nicest time to visit. And in this country any time is subject to the weather.
Consider adding the Kananaskis to you trip. It can be a beautiful time to visit that area. You might be able to get a reservation at Mount Kidd. They have a 90 day window and you would almost certainly need a reservation for that campground. There are lots of other campgrounds in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park with limited services
If you can, you should plan on more than 7 days. With the Kananaskis, & 4 National Parks (Banff, Kootenay, Yoho & Jasper) there is a lot oi country to see. A few days longer also give you a better chance of getting some good weather.
