How doable are these two trails as day hikes?

Hello, I’ll be coming to the Banff area in about a week or so and spending 6 days there. I really want to do either of these two hikes in a day to save enough time to check out other areas/hikes around banff.

But I’m wondering how doable this actually is. The trails are long but from what I can see there’s very little elevation gain per mile/km. I’ve done 20 mile hikes in the past with harder gain but never 25+ miles.

Have any of you done either of these hikes and do you have an advice/tips on how to tackle them or what I should do? Thanks!
