Canmore was lovely for the 5 nights we were there. Weather was changeable but what do you expect at that elevation?
The Drake is still there, although we didn't try it. Lots of new build hotels/apartments going up just off the Bow Valley Trail. Saw an elk walk across the hotel car park – that was the biggest bit of wildlife we saw.
Banff was lovely too, as was Lake Louise, but you know that, eh?
5 nights in Canmore, 2 in Calgary for a wedding, 1 in Kamloops (hot – 39decC), 3 in Vancouver & a long drive back to Lake Louise, making the final hop to Calgary airport for the trip home a nice short one. In hindsight I would've booked the return flight from Vancouver, but I did get to see a lot of a VERY big country on the way back. Loved it. Shame I didn't get to do any cycling. Maybe next trip* :-)
* Sister lives in Peace River, AB. We will be visiting again. Did I mention I liked Vancouver?
