Agree with everyone else that renting a car for the trip is a must.
If you're looking for something other than mountains that is a day trip from Calgary, I would consider the Royal Tyrell Museum as well.

I will second the recommendation for both of these restaurants. As well, the girlfriend and I will often drive to Banff for lunch at the Bear Street Tavern (a pizza joint). The Big Bird pizza is a favourite.
