Additional Info:
We hiked up Sentinel pass to watch the Perseid meteor shower and stars. The next day, we were on the summit of Mount Temple at 10AM! Sadly, half of the view was obscured by clouds but we could still somewhat see the valley of the ten peaks and over towards Lake Louise. We tried to wait out the clouds but they didn't end up clearing, so we headed back down to the parking lot and were onto our next adventures...
