I've seen them often along the Icefield's Parkway (#93N), between Lake Louise & Jasper, in the spruce forests, usually at fairly high elevations. Bow Summit & Peyto Lake viewpoint trails, Banff NP & JNP Boundary (follow creek towards Mt Athabasca Peak to Boundary Lake), in the stunted forests right around the Icefield's Centre, and trails up Whistlers Peak. On the Wilcox Pass Trail, I've seen Franklin's and then big Blue grouse (now called the Dusky grouse), along with Ptarmigan - all on the same hike while gaining in elevation!
