Banff Iceline

It was a cloud covered morning when we began the climb out of Yoho Valley on our longest hike of the trip (17 miles), but Takakkaw Falls was still visible (photo on left).

                       

As we approach the top of the Iceline trail, Ranger Rick points out the finer details to his always inquisitive daughter.

                       

Views from the Iceline ridgetop - looking out across the Yoho Valley (photo on left), and the Emerald Glacier on the President Range behind the trail (photo on right).

                       

Views descending from the ridge on the Celeste Connector trail heading toward Whaleback Mountain.
