Additional Info:
Bennett and I spent the previous night camping with Steph V, Emma, and a few others at the Two Jack Lake campground in Banff. They were planning on joining us to Rockbound Lake but after hiking Cascade the day before, they were exhausted (fair enough!) and opted out. The plan was to initially hike Mount Rae but as the weather was not looking good in Kananaskis, we decided to stay in the Banff area and hike to Rockbound lake with Steph H and Travis. Unfortunately I did not take many photos (just 1) but it was beautiful, and we will return to do Helena Peak!
Looking back towards Tower Lake, just before reaching Rockbound Lake.
