True Icefields is a nice northward branch from Louise, while Banff would be
the southern choice, but since the OP was concerned about 3 days being
enough, I thought that three days of constant driving was not what was
desired.
BTW, it is Moraine Lake, not Maligne Lake that was on the Canadian $20 bill.
Moraine is very near Lake Louise, as you stated - Maligne is near Jasper.
Both are gorgeous but, imho, Moraine is far superior to anything else in the
Rockies, including Lake Louise, that is as "accessible". I don't want ot get
all you back country hikers on my case.
