Add in Kananaskis, but Banff/Louise/Icefields for sure.

Don't miss Peyto lake in Banff National park. Canoeing/kayaking in Lake Louise is simply wonderful. Touring the Icefields for sure. Take a bus ride to the glacier. That's what i did.

In truth, there is not much for an out of town tourist to do in Calgary that they wouldn't find at home. Calgary Zoo is good...

Banff NP is our top draw by far. Going east from the city Drumheller and the Royal Tyrell Museum are very unique. One of the top geology hot spots in the world. Very unique badlands/desert climate as well.
