While spending a week in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies, I went on several hikes. Being in the Rockies, you can imagine there are a lot of mountains. It is a beautiful park and I definitely recommend visiting if you ever get the chance.

My selection for Mountain Monday was taken at the Lake Agnes Tea House at Lake Agnes. This tea house sits up in the mountains and there is a trail that you can take to it.

Here are some additional shots from the hike up to the tea house (and at the tea house).

What an excellent post! How long does it take to hike to the Tea House? Great photography, thanks for sharing with Mountain Monday! voted & resteemed :-)

It's only a couple hours at a leisurely pace from the hotel at Lake Louise (which in itself is beautiful), but you can keep going from there. You can hike higher for amazing views of Lake Louise, and add a couple hours to your hike to get to the Plain of Six Glaciers and another tea house! I'll have to post more pics in the future.

I hope to be back there in the spring. Not sure me or Cathy are up to hiking for hours, but I do want to see a lot more than we have on previous trips.

Definitely look into the Lake Agnes hike at least. That isn't too bad

What beauty! Gorgeous scenery and a cup of tea, too! That sounds pretty perfect!
