Still No Bears !

Another great start to the day, with a lovely sunrise (see I’m always ‘up early’ !) quickly joined by the others, and we set off just after 8 a.m. for Lake Louise, just over an hours drive away, arriving there just before 9-30 a.m. ,it wasn’t as sunny there, but still reasonable, as I looked across the lake, towards the glaciers at it’s head  http://www.lakelouise.com/ 

We had decided to walk up to Lake Agnes http://www.banff.com/hiking/lake_agnes.shtml for a reward of a snack at it’s famous tea house.. the trail set off upwards at a furious pace  and I was soon looking down at the turquoise coloured lake below and panting after everybody else..and all the time keeping our eyes out for the ‘plentiful bears’ which are in the area… we firstly arrived at Mirror Lake and then quickly arrived at the teahouse,before 1030 for our reward.. soup,sandwiches,tea,teacakes with jam and cookies !- not forgetting Thomas also had his mid morning ‘snack’ and the highest (and dirtiest!) change ever !

After quite some time within the teahouse, we had a look around the Lake and then started our descent, quite a lot quicker than the climb,and enjoying the spectacle of seeing others struggling their way up ! As we walked along we could see the glaciers hanging over Lake Louise and soon had arrived back at the car park, and off..to Moraine Lake http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moraine_Lake        where again we had a walk around, and up and onto the famous rock pile for the $20 view !…however, still no bears !Then home for a soak,BBQ and bed…Goodnight !
