From Newark International Airport, you take Air Canada to Calgary International Airport. Upon arriving at Calgary, rent a car without a GPS system. Bring your own portable GPS. Do not go with a Tour bus because the tour company only skims the basic places. By travelling your own rental car, you have more freedom and thus more time to explore and photograph. Drive to Banff's town. First, you should go to the gondola at Sulphur Mountain. Ride the Gondola by buying a package. The package includes the Columbian Icefield, the Gondola at Sulphur mountain, and the cruise at Lake Minnewaka. Give yourself plently of time to climb to the summit of Sulphur mountain. The view is beautiful compared with the other places. The climb can be arduous for older climbers in their 60s and 70s, but it is relatively easy compared with Whistler Mountain at Jasper.
At night, you can watch the stars while at the Hot Springs which are next to the Gondolas. The Hot Springs is a therapeutic method for curing different skin problems. It is a family friendly hot springs. Remember to bring your swim wear and your towels to the hot springs.
After the hot springs, you can stay at hotels on the main street. I reconomend the comfortable beds at the Inn of Banff. That is not the Banff Inn.
