This is the standard popular postcard view of Lake Louise. Below are photos of a hike that took us into this two dimensional photograph. We hiked right into the center of this photograph, up what is called the valley of six glaciers. (49 kb)

After a few hours of hiking up the valley of six glaciers, we stopped to rest. This photo looks east.
We try not to look at the peak. It looks like an ominous challenge. Soon we will find out what we are made of. (48 kb)

We climb onward in hopes of reaching the top before the weather changes. We must return before dark. The glacier in the above postcard photograph is right above us and on the left. (55 kb)

Unfortunately, the path came to an end, so we were forced to turn back. In the distance you see Lake Louise, the challet on the far side, and beyond that, the patterns on the mountain are the runs on the ski hill. (49 kb)

This photograph shows the hump on the right (1) which is known as the big bee hive, and below that on the right (at the bottom of the V below the arrow under the (2)) is where the Lake Agness tea house is located. (50 kb)

On the way back we hiked up to the big bee hive. From here, we have a good view of the valley, of the challet which is in the center, and of the lake. The canoes are only specks. (I think the speck near shore on the far right is a canoe. (57 kb)
