Thu, Aug 14 2008 - Helen Lake and Dolomite Pass - Slowpokes Only (View Original Event Details)
|  |
Every time I go to a new pass I come away feeling like "I just found my new favorite hike"! Well, today was no exception... this is one of the most scenic places I've ever seen - it was eye-popping beautiful, and I don't know why I haven't gone there before.
We hiked approximately 15km today - we went past Helen Lake (where we saw a few friendly Mormons... oops... Marmots) and part of the way up Dolomite Pass trail, and then ended on a little side trail that took us to a high "bump" beside the pass, which we declared our turn-around point. Approx 650m elevation gain.
After the hike, the ice cream in Lake Louise where Michelle and I fought over the last bit of Tiger ice cream in the bucket. Thanks to all for sharing a wonderful day. :)
