Finally, some decent weather! We back tracked to Lake Louise to hike the Path of Six Glaciers up to the tea house.
The trail starts up the valley at the far end of the lake from the Chateau.
The glaciers drain into the lake here. The beach is very fine sediment carried down from high in the valley.
The trail gets amazing right away.
It follows the river for a while.
Then it climbs up the valley side. The horizontal moraines at the left show the path of the retreating glacier.
The tea house.
Lunch was mexican veggie chowder with homemade bread and masala chai
We could have happily stayed for hours but we headed back down.
You can't tell but there's a 100 ft drop on the right side of this trail and I'm peeing off of it.
Kidding. But it kind looks like I am right?
Vinnie had a swim in the lake when we got down and that is some seriously cold water.
We stayed at Banff Rocky Mountain resort.
It sounds better than it was.
Had dinner at Beaujolais Bistro in town. They do the classics pretty well. I had steak tartare and Lorraine had coq au vin.
