If your wife has never been here do jasper down to banff. Hit all the stops,, honestly that trip is 2 days if you are not rushing it,, and why would you want to rush it,, that place is amazing! Hit the gondola rides in jasper and banff, the glacier, definitely go into moraine lake,, that is the most incredible spot on the face of the earth as far as im concerned.
Make Banff the last stop,, because I can gaurantee when your wife sees the shopping there,, you are going to be there a day for sure! Make sure you book rooms in adavnce,, that is the busy season. Oh and remember I know its july,, but its a bad idea to wear shorts and id have a light jacket with you at the minimum!
Id stay off the forestry trunk road. Lots of oil and gas work in there,, why do you want to see a bunch of rigs running up and down that road.
Oh and you are planning 4 days,, what the he** its a vacation.. make it a week and enjoy it!
