Lake Louise is definitely one of the most spectacularly beautiful places I have ever seen, and with the perfect weather and clear blue skies today it shone at the height of its brilliance. Higher up on the trail there was still lots of snow for added fun and hilarity, but who knew that the Plain of Six Glaciers Tea House was set to open on Saturday May 28th - we missed it by one day!! D'oh! A couple of us lounged at the Tea House area while the rest hiked the remaining 1.3 km up to the end of the trail. Just as they returned, we were treated to a spectacular avalanche that fell near (behind) the trail they were on (the trail seems to have been built specifically to keep people out of the avalanche run area). One new nickname today - from now on Doug B will be called "White Rabbit". It was so great to have Claudia join us again finally - we were only able to coax her little Spanish butt out on one winter event, so we've really missed her! -- "The" Rhonda |

| This was my first time ever to Plain of Six Glaciers. Lake Louise is a very famous image, backdropped by steep glacier-covered mountains. Walking the Plain of Six Glaciers trail is magical because the very famous, albeit always flat, image, becomes three-dimensional around you as you walk into the famous photo. |
