We stayed last August in Tunnel Mountain Trailer Court--with reservations, of course.
We loved the town of Canmore and went there to do shopping and get fuel. Much less crowded than the town of Banff.
One hint I would give: parking at Lake Louise is almost impossible--for us it was totally impossible. But we signed up for the gondola ride near Lake Louise and were able to take a shuttle right to the lake and then, when we were ready, to the the shuttle back to our pickup at the gondola base. We saw a mama grizzly with two cubs at the top of the gondola ride and had a great view of Lake Louise in the distance.
One other thing we enjoy was the wagon ride and steak cookout from the stables at Banff.
Photos of the Western CookoutOther than that we mostly enjoyed the drives along the Bow River and the hike up Johnson Canyon to the falls.
