There are a couple of road trips on the AMA site (none ideal for what it sounds like you're doing, but, there may be an idea or two in there!) http://ww2.aaa.com/scripts/WebObjects.dll/AAAOnline.woa...

You can go through Jasper, McBride, Quesnel. You'll see great scenery, take in some hiking to viewpoints that feels like you're on top of the world and stop at Barkerville.
If you want to PM me, I can tell you specifics on waterfalls, etc.

We are going to Yoho NP for the first time this summer... Emerald Lake, Takakkaw Falls and other must sees in the area.

Take a drive through the Kootenays. Cross Arrow Lake on the Ferry just outside of Revelstoke. If you are camping, you can stay at Summit Lake, or continue on through the small towns of New Denver and Kaslo. Just outside of New Denver is a ghost town with a museum - look for signs to Sandon. Spend a day in Kaslo, it's a beautiful old town right on Kootenay Lake.
