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.

Marjorie Lake Hike

 Even though it is a holiday weekend here in Utah we left very early to go up to the Mirror Lake Hwy to take a hike.
 We have not been to Marjorie Lake before even though we have hike in the area.
 It was a great destination even though it is at 10,000 feet.

This was the sky on the way back but we never got any rain.
