Haha, I love marmots. They're such confident little rascals.

Oh thanks! I hadn't even realized.

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

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.
