If you only do selective hiking, you should have enough time. We did something similar few years ago. Driving from Vancouver - round trip - total 9 days including stopping at BC Rockies (versus Alberta Rockies), and Okanagan Valley (very scenic, huge lakes and orchards). We spent 3 nights in Banff and 2 nights in Jasper. It should be the other way round.

Peyto is amazing but the viewing platform is also amazingly crowded. If you can get $1.00 per head, you would collect at least $500 to $700 every hour ...
But of course, when you see the pictures, you only see the amazing lake, as if there is not a single soul ... ;-)

I like Twin Lake a lot - very few people bother to go there - extreme scenic, tranquil, and great for kayaking or canoeing.

Lake Emerald is more beautiful than Lake Louise, IMO.
