So, I figured who else to ask but CPers.

I did a search back to last year when there were a few suggestions thrown about...but I'm looking to get them all in one place here.

Were going for about 10 days...staying a couple days in each spot...and are looking for nice scenery...not TOO busy and being close to points of interest doesn't hurt.
The places we're specifically looking at visiting are:

Canmore-Banff-Lake Louise Area
Rocky Mountain House-Sylvan/Gull lake area
Rural Edmonton Area (But not any further north)
Drumheller Area
Rural Calgary Area

Any suggestions are welcome though, plans aren't set in stone just yet.

Thanks in advance!

You can head out west of Longview, to the Junction, then south. Cataract Creek is nice, falls close by, easy hike. Just keep going south, you will hit Etherington, Livingstone - falls here too, nice fishing east side of road and campground, some nice pools to swim in too if you can handle the cold water, Oldman, Dutch Creek, you will come out by the Crowsnest. There are bear at Livingstone, Oldman and Dutch Creek, but nothing we have ever had a problem with, just watch your garbage etc.
