Our last hike out of Banff helped considerably by a 20 minute 5 km 1,600 ft elevation rise gondola ride followed by a chair lift taking us up another 800 ft to the top of Standish where the meadows, dwarf pine and amazing pink wild flowers allowed us to hike for a couple hours including the goal of our journey Rock Isle Lake! This sits right on the Continental Divide separating Alberta and British Columbia. No fire smoke today and great visibility!
