How's the hike with snow on the ground?

It's a fantastic shot nonetheless! I didn't get the opportunity to hike up there, though I'd absolutely love to. I plan on moving out there for a few years to really give myself time to explore properly. I did the Joffre lakes hike a few weeks ago while visiting and absolutely loved the challenge of mountain trails. Quite a different area but unbelievable views the entire way up, particularly the second and third lake. Highly highly recommend it if you ever find yourself out that way again

Landscape is absolutely gorgeous, but the basic viewpoints are absolutely crawling with people. If you don't mind the massive hotel immediately behind you as well as 25 ($125/hr to rent) canoes in the lake it's great. On the upside it's super accessible so if you can't hike much it's the spot. Solid 4/10, one of the very few places in that area that look better in the pics such as OP's.
