What a stunningly gorgeous hike. Definitely easy/moderate with the Tea House to look forward to near the end. Hiked to the end and sat on loose rocks waiting for ice slides - saw two in 30 minutes - awesome! Saw actual glaciers and now have an understanding of their former power and how diminished they have become. A must see.

Hiked with Becca and Eric. Trailhead starts at Lake Louise. Main highlight of this hike was definitely the tea house!! Need to get back to this area to see Lake Agnes/Big Beehive.
