Looking for must-see sights and great hikes in the Banff/Lake Louise/Jasper area. We only have a week to make the round-trip from Vancouver. Is there anywhere along the way that is worth stopping for a day? We are big hikers and want as much natural beauty as possible! Also looking for recommended campgrounds - preferrably tent-only places, but we do like flush toilets and showers. Thanks for your help!


Answer
You'll want to stop at Lake Louise and quite close to there is Morraine Lake - beautiful!

Johnston Canyon is between Lake Louise and Banff on the old highway. That is a gorgeous hike up. The ink pots at the top are worth a day trip.

how to prevent someone from stealing your tent while you are away for extended periods of time?

I am going to be camping in the Canadian Rocky Mountains(Jasper and Banff National Park) and sometimes I need to walk away from it to go on a 8 hour long hike. I would camp at a designated campground some can reserve in advance and some cannot. I will not leave any valuables in the tent but the tent will be staying behind. Any ideas on how to make sure I do not lose the tent from someone stealing it? Thanks!


Answer
These wire mesh baskets are meant for backpacks, but you could use one for your tent. You would need an additional length of bike cable to secure it to a tree. http://www.basegear.com/pacsafe85.html
