Plain of Six Glaciers
My goal for the summer was to hike up to the Plain of Six Glaciers tea house in Lake Louise, Alberta. You gain 400 m in elevation as you hike up to the tea house but it was fairly easy. The tea house itself has no power so everything is made using propane stoves. Supplies are helicoptered in at the beginning of the tourist season and throughout the season a chain of horses are used to replenish supplies. From the tea house you can climb even further to the Abbot Pass Viewpoint which is spectacular. It rained for the most of this hike and there was a definite temperature change as I progressed upward but it was worth every step.
