Rawson lake and Chester lake are both nice hikes in Peter Lougheed for the novice and both can be extended further up easy ridges around the lakes if you want more hiking and better views.
If you are willing to drive 2hrs Wilcox pass on the icefields parkway is one of the best easy hikes around. Again a lot of room for wandering at the top.
I just got back from Lake OHara which is the best day hiking I have ever been on. You usually need to backpack in a day to get that nice of area. The only drawback is you need to reserve 3 months in advance as they limit the number of users each day.
