Rent a bike and use the Legacy trail to bike from Canmore to Banff! We recommend starting in Canmore because then your way back is slightly more downhill and parking will be easier to find, as it is typically less busy than Banff. The pathway is entirely paved and it is not too hilly (it is a very slight consistent uphill, but you don't really notice until you are coming back downhill).

Go and see some wolves and wolf dogs. The guided experience teaches you all about the wolves, what they are doing to help them and you even get to go into the pen and feed them (children are not allowed to do this version of the tour).

Bow Valley ParkwayA nice easy day hike with railings, stairs and beautiful waterfalls.
This is a slightly more challenging hike, but it has very rewarding views at the top. Typically takes the average hiker about 2.5 hours to the top! It is quite uphill, but definitely worth it. Don't forget to bring some bear spray.

Take the Sentinel Pass hike to see the larch trees. Especially beautiful in September. Get there early, the parking lot is often full by 6AM in the summer months on the weekends. They also offer a shuttle service within Lake Louise to the trailhead.
