I suggest emphatically that since you're planning to go to Banff, you drive
up the "Icefield Highway" to Jasper.  It's 170 miles of probably one of the
most beautiful highways in the world.  One interesting routing would be to
drive from Calgary to Edmonton, stopping along the way to see the dinosaur
stuff and then to Jasper and down to Banff.  Along the way, make sure to
stop at Lake Louise (if you like to hike, there is a great trail starting
from the West end of the lake).  In the Jasper area, make sure you take the
Maligne Lake tour (only if the weather is nice).  Lake Maligne is utterly
spectacular.  Sounds like a great trip, but don't waste too much time in
Nebraska!
