Castle Mountain Summit Hike-Scramble - Our GPS track on a 3D topo

            It was a magical day! The day started with low clouds and fog in the Bow River Valley, and reports of snow at high elevations. The first few kilometres were indeed in the fog, but after 7 km's, we arrived at the beautiful Tower Lake with clear skies and not a flake of snow nearby. Rockbound Lake was stunning on the way up and down as well, and even better, there was hardly a breeze all day. Rocky Mountain perfection! That a said, our bodies did feel it, having walked around 27 km's return distance, gaining over 1570 m's, with the many ups and downs. We didn't dawdle, taking only 9 hrs, 45 minutes to complete.
