Or a Frozen Lake
Frozen Tower Lake on Rockbound Lake Hike, Banff NP
All week the forecast promised a sunny and warm Saturday for our last hike to Tower and Rockbound Lakes. Not so much. The hike, however, was unique. Tower Lake was frozen and thanks to one of the dogs on the trail, we got to hear his bark echo and echo and echo around Rockbound Lake.
I started incognito explorer in May 2009 when my husband and I embarked on a cross country road trip from Baltimore, MD to Lexington, KY, and Columbia and Kansas City, MO to Denver, CO to the Bay Area, CA to Estes Park, CO, Grand Teton/Yellowstone, through Idaho, to Oregon, to Seattle, WA to Whistler, BC to Glacier NP, MT to Theodore Roosevelt National Park ending in Chicago, IL.
We lived in Chicago until 2013. Then embarked on a road trip to the Canadian Rockies before moving back to the DC area. Incognito explorer continues to chronicle our adventures.
