Just got back from 4 days in Jasper and Banff. I prefer Jasper as it's so much quieter and less intense. As you drove down the parkway you could sense the change once you crossed into Banff National Park. After saying that though, Banff and Lake Louise seemed much less crowded than in previous years. US economy, gas prices? Who knows but it's not as busy as it once was. Banff this morning was really nice actually. I'd actually recommend that they stay in the Banff area too, given their circumstances but the Jasper area is incredible. We saw five black bears on our travels this extended weekend! Lake Louise is worth a visit for sure. Morraine Lake, in the Louise area, is a stunningly beautiful lake. Hope they have a good time.
