Need advice on Banff and Calgary area?

Q: Will be visiting Banff in a few weeks. I already have a place to stay but I need recommendations on tourist attractions and absolute "must see" spots.

A: A drive up Tunnel Mountain is excellent for site seeing and wild life. I would say that an absolute must is taking the gondolas up Sulphur Mountain and to Sunshine Village. There are two gondolas each providing an amazing view from the top of the mountains and a view of the Great Divide. There is also a museum and park at the very end of the main street which is a nice place to spend a bit of time. The hot springs at the Fairmont Springs Hotel is also a must see. Banff also has an abundance of really cool little shops and touristy things downtown like the town crier. Gorgeous little town. Make sure to take a heavy sweater or jacket though because it gets really cool in the evening. Watch for bears as grizzlies often show up right downtown. http://www.discoverbanff.com/WheretoStay/HotelsMotels/index.htm
