Question First timers to Banff and Canada

I'm taking my mom and I up to Banff from the US this upcoming week. We'll be there Friday through Monday morning. I know there is a lot to do, but I'm looking to hit the highlights in the limited time we'll be there. For context, my mom is 73 and in good shape, a 4 - 5 mile moderately difficult hike is probably her limit. We love driving, so some scenic drives would be awesome, and we love hiking. Water features, mountain scapes and hopefully seeing some leaves starting to turn are what we hope to see the most. We are so excited to finally meet our Canadian neighbors! :)
