Larry,
 
Congratulations! 
 
The glacier walk seems to be a popular thing to do (Athabascar?)--see it before global warming melts it--and the gondola ride.  Also, there are some Lake cruises and a river rafting opportunity.  Jasper, just north of Banff, is a designated "dark sky area," and the beauty of the night skies and how much of the Milky Way you can see, have apparently brought some people to tears, who have only lived in cities. 
 
It is a bit early, because the best season doesn't start until late September/October, but if you have clear skies there's a chance you might see the Northern Lights if you're up late, even in Banff, but more so in Jasper. IF your phone works in Canada (I found out mine won't), you can apparently set up a text alert which will let you know of any activity.
 
I had my second serving of Blue Apron catfish tonight, reheated in the toaster oven.  I think it was even better the second go round.  Tomorrow I'll grill the steak outside on my little camper stove.  My exhaust fan in my kitchen sucks (or more accurately doesn't suck enough) so I'll take the skillet grilled steak fumes outside!  Instead of making their crispy rice, I'll use the rice and the currants, butter, and almonds, from another recipe to make pilaf. 
 
I'm having a bit of an arthritis flare, so although I hate to take it, I took an Aleve after running some errands, sat up in bed to read my mystery novel, and promptly ended up taking a long map.  I woke up and thought of you doing energetic things like kayaking this weekend and doing yoga, but oh well--it was also an unpleasantly hot day.
