Default How do I take 4 naive city slickers into K country?

Hey guys. I have a few friends from Chicago, and one from Toronto coming to Alberta in August. They will have a couple weeks, and they want to go hiking. Two of them want to go on a few fairly strenuous hikes.

I was thinking of camping at Lower Kananaskis Lake and hiking Mt. Indefatigable (thanks Phanuthier), Elk Lake, and Centennial Pass. I also heard from a coworker that there is a waterfall near the south end of Upper K lake.

On the last few days, I was thinking about staying at a hotel in Banff for two nights. The first day would be a rest/tourist day. Not sure what to do then. On the next day we would hike Johnston Canyon, then go to Lake Louise, then back to Banff. The next day I want to take them to Drumheller to see Tyrell, then to the airport.

What do you guys think? Are there any good hikes you might suggest? Any tips/warnings/suggestions? What should we do in Banff on the rest day?
