Ribbon Creek (as previously mentioned) is pretty good. Getting to be really busy though.
Upper Kananaskis Lake has some good trails around. I always enjoyed Hidden Lake and if you can, Asper.
If you want a challenging hike spread over a 2-3 days, check out the Northover Ridge loop. Fantastic views from the top (get to see a glacier from the top down!), and two absolutely beautiful alpine lakes. I've done it in one day... but I don't recommend that. It was... painful  |
True enough, I thought about that point a while after posting. Another good book for longer alpine hikes is Classic Hikes in the Canadian Rockies by Graeme Pole. Its got alot of the common trails as well as a few interesting & lesser known destinations.
