On this early September hike we go as far as we can go before turning around heading towards the summit of Castle Mountain in Banff National Park. This video does not show anything beyond Rockbound Lake as far the trail goes because we simply ran out of time, hence the challenges of creating video while we hike. This was nonetheless an amazing trail that can be tailored for any type of adventure. You can do a short 2km to visit Silverton Falls, or a half day hike up to Tower Lake or the entire ridges & summits in the area which could take 12 or more hours to complete. So this trail definitely falls into the category or being able to do it more than once and get different trails along the way.
While looking nearly inaccessible from the Trans-Canada Highway, the peak can be ascended from the backside on the northeastern slopes. The trail to Rockbound Lake leads hikers around the eastern side. The massif contains several high points including Helena Ridge (2,862 m (9,390 ft)), Stuart Knob (2,850 m (9,350 ft)) and Television Peak (2,970 m (9,744 ft)), the latter being named for the TV repeater located on top. Technicians use a helicopter rather than hiking the long ascent to the top.
