Another option is to go up to the base at Sunshine and do some hikes from there.
Troll Falls in K Country is also pretty relaxing for a warm up or cool down day.
Only warning I'd have is check in with the rangers to see the bear activity or check online.

I would add the hike to Sentinel Pass through Larch Valley.
August, unless summer is very hot and berries ripen early, you should be OK for hiking in Lake Louise area. In September, there is almost always a bear problem in that area.
