Rockwell is good but very up and down.
Plan to camp at flow lake, numb creek is dumpy, the next one is good and so is helmet falls. We did it in 3 days which was tough camping at nuns creek, and helmet falls.
I think a much better trip would be helmet falls, day 2 add in good sir towers which I didn't do and go just one campground. Then day 3 hike to flow lake, and day 4 out. On day 4 you can be done by lunch and on day 1 the 20k in is pancake flat so you could leave calgary at lunchtime and hike to helmet before dark.
One other option would be to camp day 2 at the top of wolverine pass hiking outside of the park to camp about 1k off trail
Fantastic though, bring poles.
