Cascade Falls and Two Jack Lake


View Canadian Rockies on divatmotoros's travel map.

It was a warm and sunny day so we opted for a shorter (but steep) hike and an afternoon at a lakeside enjoying the kayak. We have already passed by Cascade Falls already several times which is huge from the distance. There is a steep climb to it, just about 700m long but it elevates 155m.

On the higher end you can refresh yourself with tge ice cold water and enjoy the view far far into the distance.

Exactly what we have done until we were too hot on the sunshine.

On our descent we have met a couple with two kids and they were originally from Gyula, Hungary (already born in Canada). After a quick chat we said goodbye in Hungarian (Sziasztok, jó utat!) and drove to Two Jack Lake. Enroute we have stopped at a boat control station as the 48 hours dry time has not passed yet since our unfogattable Lake Louise kayaking. If needed there you can hot-wash the boat before entering a new lake. The inspector decided we don't have to wash the kayak as it was clean and dry so they issued a permit.

Echo is a real city dog and he prefers sitting on a bench instead if the rocks and stones.

The kids enjoyed kayaking with us in turns and they played with the little guy on the shore, a groundhog. It had a huge castle with over ten exit holes and was appearing in a different one each time the kids went too close.

On our drive back to the campsite we have seen several deers, three of them crossing the road just in front of us.
