Need recommendations for a mountain vacation trip

I need some help on suggesting a good location for a mountain vacation trip for anniversary. it would be just me and wife, leaving the kids behind, probably late summer early fall. Really looking for a blend of places to shop and eat and also outdoor activities. We live in NC, so have done smokies and all mountains in western NC and Eastern TN.
We've been to Jackson and Yellowstone before and that is kind of similar situation that I was looking for. Thinking about Montana and I've read lots of trip reviews on here, but not sure if there is enough "town" stuff to do.
TIA

Fly into Seattle and visit the north cascades and Olympic national park. That was one of my favorite trips I’ve taken.

Willing to fly to Oregon? We loved Bend and staying at the Sun River Resort! Maybe 1 1/2 hour drive to Crater Lake, one of the most amazing scenes in the world.
Maybe Chateau Lake Louise? Doesn't get more beautiful than that. We stayed there and loved it. Or nearby Moraine Lake Lodge. Either is maybe 2 1/2 hours from Calgary.
Ventana Inn in Big Sur. We didn't stay there, but in an AirBnB in Monterrey and drove down there through Carmel. Beautiful!

Glacier NP would work but it’s too late to book for the fall unless you don’t get a room in the Park. I’m not sure what you’re looking for town wise. For an active city scene the Colorado ski towns might be better.

I’ve been to Vail twice during that time frame. It’s great during the summer.

New Hampshire (or even Vermont). You can fly into Boston and rent a car.

Aspen is what you want. Town has all the eating/shopping stuff then go see the Maroon Bells and Independence Pass, plenty of hikes around both.
You could fish the Roaring Fork.
Plan 3rd week of September and you can see the aspen trees turning colors.
All kinds of cool places along the Valley also.

Research Ouray, Colorado.

I would focus on Colorado - Telluride, Aspen, Vail...

100% do Glacier. Book a cabin in the Columbia Falls area which is right in between Whitefish and the park.

I registered with TD just to send you this recommendation. Banff, Alberta Canada is unbelievable and is easier to get to than some parks in the US. Fly to Calgary and then a 1 hour drive just about puts you there. There is a range of pricing for lodging depending on your budget but we always stay in Banff itself. Please google it, you won't be sorry.
