Canmore, Canada

 Andy and I spent a week staying in Canmore (near Banff) Canada.
 One day we bike the Legacy Trail to Banff from Canmore 24 k
 We have had a hike to Rockbound Lake on our bucket list for a few years since it was recommended by hikers at back country lodges.  This is looking down on Tower Lake making the last push to Rockbound Lake.
 Rockbound Lake at last.  10.5 miles RT and 2500 feet in elevation gain.  It was so worth it.
 The next day we hiked to Taylor Lake.  This was a "short" 8 miles and only 2000 feet in elevation gain.
Lunch at Taylor Lake.
