Landscape Plain of Six Glaciers

Plain of Six Glaciers · **10 Likes**

A shot (nine stitched, technically) from our short 24km hike yesterday. Even though we're fairly local, we haven't had much chance to explore the area around Lake Louise, as it's always packed full of tourists, luckily for us, it's quiet enough to go explore now. On the left you can see the lake in the distance, and the ski hill even further behind. On the right there is Abbot Pass, and a wee hut in the pass there too (which can be seen in the full res stitch, but uploading a 40MP image didn't seem right...). The mountain on the right with the glacier is the famed Mt Victoria. Front and centre is Mt Folley, which a sign claims is home to the first mountaineering death in Canada. To the left of that is Mt Aberdeen. All in all an enjoyable day

Nicely done! That is definitely some gorgeous country up there.

Great shot and thanks for all the info. I got to be one of those tourists back in the 70s.

This is a legendary scene that fortunately for us, you have given.

Fine piece of imagery... seems a long "short" hike to lug all the camera kit and a set of Pipes.

You did take the Pipes, right?... as they do sound awesome in the mountains. That is provided there're no avalanche risks... if so they sound a little garbled when running.

Thanks, I didn't bring the pipes this time around, but I have considered standing out in front of the Chateau playing with my case in front of me....

A wonderful image Robert, I never did get to do that hike and it's too late now. As for standing in front of the Chateau, a few years back there use to be a guy playing an Alpen Horn, he was pretty good at it as well.

An alpen horn would certainly fit in, especially with the Swiss mountaineering history of there and the surrounding area.
