Lol, you'd like to avoid crowds in Banff, that's like saying I don't really want to see people when visiting New York City.
Where are you staying? Here's the thing about Banff, it's super close to Kananaskis and Kootenay National Park.
Other good options are to google blogs about hiking in Banff, you'll get really good info and current info as well, wildfires have done some serious damage here the last 3 out of 4 years.
Of course there's Mt. Temple, Sunshine, Bourgeau Lake, etc...
Here's a dude with a passionate blog about hiking: http://hikingwithbarry.com/category/banff-national-park
This time of year you can get away with a cheaper -4C sleeping bag, but if you have a little extra coin, get a better one.
A compression sack for the sleeping bag.
These are good mattresses.
Bring a light coat. This can double up as a pillow at night.
If you plan on cooking anything, a pocket stove and a fuel canister, and a 1L stainless steep pot. Spoon or fork (I just cook dehydrated food).
A tent with a fly.
Headlamp.
Bear spray and small air horn.
A few pairs of socks and underwear.
Baby wipes.
Ziplocks for trash. Toilet paper. Ideally a bear canister.
Toque, long johns, pair of sandals.
Food.
50' of parachord.
Light clothes that are NOT cotton.
Cook a very decent distance away from your tenting area, and clean a good distance away from your tenting area. Avoid strong smelling food. Know what a bear hang is and learn how to use it if it's available.
