Day 44 Mile 5611
Banff, Canada
Trails, trails & more trails. Trails are an important part of any visit to the stunning Banff/ Lake Louise area. While my morning coffee is still warm in my bear-shaped coffee mug, we’re deep into guide books and trail maps deciding on today’s bike, hike or run. This park is blessed with an abundant network of trails to match any fitness level- all rewarding visitors with waterfalls, stream-views, quiet forests & glimpses of wildlife. We particularly enjoyed a venture out to the Kananiskis country for a horseback ride into the lush mountainside.
My favorite trail was a bit arduous 4.5 mile trek up to lovely Lake Agnes Tea House. This popular trails skirts along the shores of Lake Louise, famous for its bright blue hue (the result of suspended particles from glacial erosion.) The Tea House, the oldest in Canada, is a family-run business in operation since 1905. Renovated by the Magee family, the children used to walk the trail daily to catch the school bus and now live onsite and bring up foodstuffs to cook delightful items fresh daily. Warm cookies sure made the trip down a lot easier.
