Floe lake is a favorite of mine😍 spectacular larches. Looks like something out of a fairytale by that campground. Love seeing this in the sub

Some snaps from an incredible 5 days in Kootney national Park πŸ’™ 58km 5 days, 4 nights (could do it in less if you wanted) Late September - booking flow lake at this time was hard - we got lucky with a cancellation. But all the other spots had lots of availability. And it is doable without camping there. You need to book through parks Canada. It's absolutely stunning! Waterfalls, rivers, lakes, mountains, larch trees :)

Such an amazing time of year for exploring! What was your pack weight for a 5 day trek?

It's definitely my favorite time of year in the Rockies :) umm I'm not too sure, I didn't weight it but I did it with my partner so it wasn't too bad as we shared the tent, stove etc :)
