Lake Louise - Plain of Six Glaciers

It's was a wet one today! We travelled from Banff to Lake Louise and took on the Plain of Six Glaciers trail. Mel mentioned that we had not got as wet as the weather forecast predicted and guess what... The heavens opened! 



Still smiling it was a tough grind up through the terminal moraine to the trail end where, you guessed it, six glaciers spilled over the cliff tops. We sat and watched as several ice blocks crashed down the valley, Canada certainly makes a person feel small!

  2. I was there too but 30 years ago! And not so high up. Actually you were there too, but crawling around in the alpine flowers on the lake shore of Lake Louise. Surely you remember.

    I'm now set up with a google account as you see so I'll try and get to respond more often. PS We've forgotten our iPad and left it at the lodge. What a pain! Can you facetime our mobile phone or not?

    Great to see what you're up to. If you got unfit after your accident Dave, you should be getting back in shape now. Mel, you're looking great. Don't let him drag you off to too many places!

    Lots of love
