lake agnes tea house

Lake Louise, the starting point for our hike up to Lake Agnes...

Lots of colourful annuals, including these poppies, at the Lake Louise hotel along with hoards of tourists and colourful musicians.

This golden mantled ground squirrel came looking for anything edible on the ground around our backpacks but found nothing.
Lake Agnes looking very tranquil. We managed to gather together enough cash (cash only taken at the Tea House, no plastic) to buy a pot of tea (three small cups), a mug of chai and two large cookies. The people with no cash has to sit by the lake and entertain the golden mantled ground squirrels.
