I strongly recommend visiting the Canadian Rockies. Take the drive from Lake Louise to Jasper, and you will not be disappointed. There are many places to stop and take short hikes (or long hikes if you prefer). The scenery is spectacular and there is an abundance of wild life, especially near Jasper.
Also - a little secret place - if you get the chance, stay at (or at least visit) Lake O'Hara.
