Getting to Lake Agnes wasn’t too bad! Good footing the whole way and a mild, but steady incline. It was probably the easiest part of the Tea House Challenge. And the Tea House itself was awesome! Good food and tea. It was busy, but not in a way that took away from the experience.

Thanks! It was quite the challenge for me since I wasn’t used to the elevation and had hurt my knee on day one, but if you can manage the switchbacks then the rest isn’t too bad! And I’m super jealous of your plan! I’d love to spend a lot more time out there. I fully intend to return someday. I haven’t heard of Joffre lakes, but I’ll look into it for sure!

Thanks! The trail to the Lake Agnes tea house wasn’t too bad! From there to the Big Beehive where this was taken was quite a struggle at times though, mainly the switchbacks. Those sucked immensely lol.

Yeahhhh I did crop the hotel out of the picture lol. That’s why the dimensions are a bit weird. We did the Tea House Challenge, and even that was pretty busy. Everyone we super friendly and respectful though, so we didn’t mind it! Coming out of the mountains and back down to Lake Louise was a bit of a shock though. It was pretty obvious who were hikers and who weren’t lol. But as long as you know what to expect, it’s still absolutely worth it and I’d do it again!

Oh damn, that sounds rough! Those trails are hard enough as it is lol.

It is! I was there in August. And thank you!

It is!
