Banff has amazing scenery and it is almost overwhelming with the vistas, the lakes and mountains that seem endless. Yet, one of the best things I have done there is the hike to Lake Agnes and the Lake Agnes Tea House. Rebuiit in 1981 it serves coffee, tea and pastries during the season. You can only get here by foot and everything in the tea house is carried up the mountain as well. The walk around the lake lead me to the view in this photo looking back toward the tea house on the extreme left of the photo. Note the lake is still full of ice even on the mid-June afternoon.
