    Hello,

    Hoping for some advice from people who know this area.

    Basically have two days this weekend before leaving Canada and want to see a bit of this area. We were in Banff last weekend and want to head further this week.

    We are mostly looking for hot springs. Weren't impressed with the ones in Banff it looks like a swimming pool, just with hotter water. The hot springs I'm used to are a bit more rough and ready. Are there any of these in the neighbourhood?

    And what would people suggest we see in this area? We have a three year old so can't really hike. We're based one hour east of Banff and are willing to drive maybe 4-5 hours on the Sat and then home on Sunday evening.

    Also, any suggestions for hotels? Also, are any glaciers visible at this time of year with minimum hiking? The kid can walk about 2km before she collapses in a heap.

    Thanks people!
