Edith Pass and Le Tour De Lakes
So this week has been interesting! I finished work on Wednesday morning and met Nico at the Mount Royal hotel to join the Grand Nature Club on their hike to Taylor Lake. Unfortunately, they didn't have enough transportation for us so we decided to go up to do the Cory Pass Loop. Because we were on foot, we started to make the journey out past Vermillion Lakes and under the highway to the trail entrance at the start of the Bow ...

We turned around, and heading for the restaurant at the beginning of the trail. (Jono kept saying, I just want food!) After 20 ...
Canmore and Stanley Glacier
... or friends to do them with. I met Kirk and Sheila Hagert from Rhode Island who were in Banff for a few days on holiday and they drove me out to the trialhead. From the car park, we hiked up and over a hill to the base of a wide V shaped valley between two mountains leading up to the glacier which was perched high on the right side of the end mountain face.
