Q: Or do I have to go to Banff? Some buddies and I are going planning on setting out on a trip to wherever the wind will take us; starting with lake louise. But I want to make sure that there will be an agent there when the time comes.

A: Forget the travel agent... Take a look at my blog, you should find some interesting places to visit. Hotels are a little pricey. I'm going back again this year for another visit. Worth the $$$. http://rockies2005.blogspot.com Great place to visit. Canmmore was a nice town with some good restaurants.
