One of my all-time favorite hikes, especially in the fall when the crowds disappear and the larches turn yellow.

Alpine bowls with golden foliage. Looks like a 19th century painting by a master. Thank you for sharing.

I hiked up to Mummy Lake and sat down with my bag next to me and started eating lunch. I heard some rustling and looked over to find a marmot rifling through my bag. It just stared back at me like "What?".

I'm not sure exactly why (maybe British fascination with Egypt at the time these were named) but a lot of the landmarks in this little corner of Banff share the theme: there's Pharaoh Peak (which is where this photo was taken from), Pharaoh Lake, Egypt Lake, Sphinx Peak, Scarab Lake, and Mummy Lake.
