We are doing the Rockwall Trail in Kootenay National Park, which is just inside the B.C. border, a ways past Banff. We are on the trail for 4 nights / 5 days, and will be covering 55 kms, and going over three major mountain passes. We peak out at 7726 feet elevation, with a base elevation starting point of 4347 feet. We trace the pass of the Rockwall limestone cliff, which is about 1600' high. Our first day, we climb 2300 feet in less than a 10 km stretch of trail. You do the math to average the slope. The other days are all similar.

I'll post my own pictures and some more details when I get back, but for now here is a map of the trail. Also, click on this link to go to a good blog of some guys who did the same trail last year, though on a slightly different schedule.
