I have just confirmed an exchange into Bighorn Meadows Resort for 1 week in mid-August (8/19-8/26) and I'm wondering how much there is to do in that area - hoping I didn't make a mistake. I've had an ongoing request with II into the Canmore/Banff area but nothing was coming up and decided to take this when it came up during a manual search.
We are thinking of one day trip to Banff (is it really worth it to drive 2 hours each way given how crowded Banff will be?) but other than that I'm hoping there is enough to do in the Radium Hot Springs and Kootenay NP area. We don't mind an hour or so drive to places for day trips. Another thought is to leave Bighorn Meadows for a night and do an overnight in the Banff area.
It will be my husband and I and our 13 year-old son. We like hiking, scenery, photography, maybe do a rafting trip, etc.
We will be flying in and out of Kalispell, Montana and doing a few days in Glacier Natl Park Montana before heading to Canada.
Suggestions on itinerary? Is one week going to be too long in Radium Hot Springs? Looking for ideas!
