A glance back to May 2016 and our trip to the Banff National Park of Alberta, Canada. Lake Agnes, described as a small mountain lake is a 3.5km hike above the famous Lake Louise (pip). A teahouse is situated along the eastern shore at an elevation of 2134 metres (but unfortunately it was closed when we got here.) The lake was so called 'Lake in the Clouds by the 'Stoney Indians'. The present name stems from two famous lady visitors: Agnes Knox -the first white woman to visit the lake and then Lady Agnes Macdonald, wife of Canada's first prime minister who visited a few days later. Oh to have had the time to traverse the path seen here on the right bank but we soon had to turn tail and dash back to our hotel by the greater Lake Louise.. HFF, enjoy the weekend.

Just outside the town limits of Banff, Alberta, Canada, runs the mighty Bow river. Here it is with its guardian peaks.
