Banff National Park
Egypt Lake
Description:
..Egypt is a peaceful, unassuming lake whose only backdrop is a small cone-shaped peak known locally as Sugarloaf Mountain.
June 2004
When I finally arrived at the campground, I immediately dropped the pack at the shelter (a little cabin) a took a look around. “Where’s the lake?” “Where’s the campground spaces?” after several minutes of searching, I found the pathetic little campground spaces and was instantly glad that I brought my hammock/tent. Further investigation found that although the campground was named Egypt Lake, the Lake was almost a km away. This was nothing like I imagined!!
While I was unbothered on the trail, the mosquitoes were relentless at the campsite itself and the shelter was a welcome haven for cooking and packing mosquito free.
I rained non-stop until I left the next morning the moment I stopped exploring the area in the early afternoon.
