And more...

 

Lake Louse and the Fairmont Chateau...and beautiful hotel.  This was another 8 mile hike, all the way back to the tea house...once again, we lost many of our hikers the farther we got back on the trail!  This hike was my idea, and I did start to lose my enthusiasm as we got farther back...the walking on glaciers, incredible wind, cold, blowing snow....but I'm really glad we made it all the way there. This day was the culmination of 16 mile hikng between our first two days there...

 

The iconic Banff sign.
