We did that once, it was fantastic!! We are traveling to the US Northwest and Western Canada this summer, hope to canoe in Lake Louise again, and kayak in the Puget Sound in WA or BC (or kayak in Banff?)

I agree about Banff, it is amazing. Jasper is supposed to be nice also, haven't been, though hope to this summer.

One thing I recall about Banff: A museum with many stuffed mammals, and a collection of stuffed bird "mounts" greater than any I have ever seen . Does anyone know which museum this was. Natural History Museum? Don't want to miss this if it is still there!
