There are other parks near-by. Banff is the more built up and touristy. Jasper is down-right beautiful. I just spent three nights in Chateau Lake Louise, an old Canadian Pacific Resort. It was the week before the season started, so it was $50/night (canadian, so ~~ $40 US$) and had a wonderful time. Food in Banff is excellent, and was very inexpensive. There were actually restaurants there that had LOWERED their prices, and combined with the exchange rate, were a great deal. Lots of places to hike to, especially near Lake Louise and up towards Jasper. Columbia icefields is interesting. If you have never hiked across a glacier... Wm Leler tektronix!tekchips!wm
