Itinerary description
21-AUG-12 02:23:11 PM
Another "supernatural" destination in the Canadian Rockies. I have overlayed a map from Parks Canada on the terrain; peaks, lakes and camps are in their own layers. The Alpine Club of Canada maintains two huts in the area (Elizabeth Parker, close to the lake, and Abbot Pass, well, right on the pass). Lake McArthur is one of the most beautiful glacier lakes I have ever seen, with deep blue waters, and the area is often snow covered well into June (for those who like soggy treks...). The world famous Chateau Lake Louise is just NE from Mount Victoria.
