Iceline, Little Yoho Valley and Yoho Valley Trail
Saturday, September 6th
After little interest in hiking the Iceline trail in July, this time around we had a full house with 10 members joining this beautiful hike in Yoho National Park.
Even with an early start of 6:00 a.m. from Calgary, no one lacked energy on the hike. The morning was a cool start but we weren’t even a kilometer into the hike before we had to peel off layers and it warmed up quite quickly. On the ascent we got to see Takkakaw Fall from different vantage points, and it is pretty cool to see it from above where you can see the glacier feeding the water fall. The day turned into a beautiful warm day. We enjoyed lunch by the Stanley Mitchell hut before heading back to the parking lot. On the way back we stopped at beautiful Laughing Falls.
To finish off the day we stopped for a bite to eat at the Lake Louise Hostel before heading back to Calgary.
