I took this photo at Chephren lake in Banff National Park. If you drive all the way down the icefield parkway and past the fowl lakes you'll find the trail head without too much trouble. The hike itself isn't too hard, and it's pretty the whole way up. Most of the walk is in the forest, but you do get a chance to cross a gorgeous mountain meadow under the shadow of the mountains. Once at the top, you're greeted by this view...at least in the summer. Getting there in the winter is a whole other story.
It's a long enough hike you'll need a few supplies - water, food and sturdy boots. But other than that - enjoy the views.
Thank you for your submission!
