Check out Darwin Wiggett's site for his book Photographying the Canadian Rockies. Best guide available. http://www.darwinwiggett.com/product.php?id=28

I agree. Great book, used it a lot. It's also small/light enough to put in your camera backpack.

Here is a review:NPN How to photograph the Canadian Rockies Review

And a link to download an excel sheet summarizing the best seasons, and times of the day, to shoot the locations mentioned in the book.

Two other guides are:

1. Frommer's Banff & Jasper National Parks

2. Graeme Pole's Walks and Easy Hikes in the Canadian Rockies

Darwin's book is essential. It is tough to find though. Try "The Camera Store" in Calgary
