Lake Agnes Tea House to Plain of Six Glaciers - Banff National Park

This 11 mile trek was one of the most beautiful hikes I have ever experienced. All of the rave reviews about Banff were accurate, it is a stunning landscape worth the trip. We started our hike at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, a popular destination for any visitor to Alberta. Once we started gaining elevation toward Lake Agnes, the crowds died down and we were left scaling upward in peace & quiet. From Lake Agnes we followed the circumference of the frozen lake up to the Big Beehive for an amazing vista of the hotel and Lake Louise below us. We continued onward toward the Plain of Six Glaciers which brought us to another teahouse, which was sadly closed in late October. We took a brief rest and headed toward Victoria Glacier. Roundtrip this was an 11 mile hike with some intense inclines. By the end of it, our legs were happy to be back in the car. Enjoy the pictures, I have included a few from downtown Banff and the drive from Banff to Lake Louise.
Cheers.
