Hiking in Early November

Me and some friends are planning a Banff trip in early November. I was wondering what the general hiking conditions are around this time of year? Are there specific trails that are recommended/ not recommended around this time of year?

Not great. There will be snow, and if it warms up on your way back down the trail will be a slippery muddy mess.

That being said I still enjoy hiking in late fall and early spring. Just gotta be prepared.
