Leaving Vancouver on July 27th . All day drive up to Rockies/Yoho National park.

28 morning 8.30 buss to Lake O'hara -- 11km hike to abot pass hut( we will sleep at the hut , therefore it would be backpacking and the hike is scramble)

3. August.. moving toward Jasper..
4. August.. Jasper and around and moving toward Mt. Robson Park..

Hey KitKat,

If you're going up to Lake Agnes, consider hiking up to Devil's Thumb. It's very little additional effort which nice views. Also if you're at Moraine Lake, you may want to consider Tower of Babel, also very little effort for excellent views.
