"the golden poppies are blooming' round the banks of Lake Louise..."
Seems like there is a song for everything.
Our hike today was up along the lake to the tea house overlooking the Plain of Six Glaciers.
True mountaineers don't let a little snow stop them.

All of a sudden. There was this roar...no jets overhead. We looked out across the cirque and caught this tremendous avalanche from near the top of Mount Lefroy.
It started near the top and ran over the cliff dropping 1500 feet or so to the valley below...spectacular. We were in the right place at the right time.
The tea house was built by Swiss guides in the twenties and serves tea, soups, sandwiches and apple pie. Mary is very happy.
Back down the trail to the Lake Louise Chateau,
our campsite and dinner.
