CAN Rockies Advice

Another question in preparing for my first trip up (mid-July).
I had planned on the President / Vice Pres. via the President glacier being my prime objective, using MacAurther, Kerr, etc. as other options while in there a few days. Unfortunately, the hut is booked all week...
Any suggestions for similar alternatives? Right now we have reservations in the climbers hostel in Canmore. I'd consider my mountaineering skills as "intermediate" and will have a couple guys with me who have a little experience too. I'm considering:
- Daytrip to Hector from Canmore
- President Glacier in a day???
- Athabasca N. Glacier daytrip from ...?
- A2 as above.
Or should I just try to reserve the Bow Hut? Are the peaks in there worthwhile?
Thanks for any advice!
