Just returned from Canada last night. Spent four nights in Banff and one night in Jasper, AB.
Our campsite in Banff was very good, there was a huge woodpile, and you just drove up and took what you wanted. I was slightly reminded of the piles of old shoes found outside the 'showers' in Nazi concentration camps, but that's not a pleasant idea.
We had very few neighbors, were only about a mile or two outside the town of Banff, and had plenty of opportunities for hiking and sightseeing. After a few days, we were pretty hiked out, and we went into Calgary for a day to do our laundry, eat well, and see the Calgary Zoo.
Banff town looks a little like Vail or Aspen. Lots of shoppes, restaurants (even Earls), hotels, and museums. Jasper is smaller and flat. Jasper sits on CN tracks (with Via service), and Banff is on CP tracks.

Did you eat any fries with gravy while in town?
Ah, Poutine... no we did not have any Poutine during our stay, but Beth and I did watch some folks eat it at a pizza stand in Jasper. Only thing weirder than putting ketchup on your fries with curd and gravy is to put ketchup on your pizza. Not bad, eh?
Welcome back.
