A couple of days earlier, a bad storm cell had wreaked havoc on northeast Calgary and it must have helped push Elbow Lake to overflowing. While this made Edworthy Falls look impressive, a fording of the the Elbow just downstream looked considerably less appealing. On to Plan B: a leisurely stroll to Tombstone campsite with comfortable amenities for snacking etc. was followed by the trek up to the Tombstone Lakes where we watched cutthroat trout lazing around and chatted to various fisherfolk who were enjoying reeling some of them in. Piper Pass and its flowers will have to wait, but this was a fine day out nonetheless.
