Description The trail to the plain of the Six Glaciers in Banff national park, Alberta, Canada. In the background you can see Lake Louise with the famous château. I would highly recommend this hike, it's not difficult at all (if you're somewhat used to hiking that is) and the view is phenomenal. If you go all the way to the Abbot pass viewpoint, like we did, you're a stone's throw away from the ice you can see hanging on Mount Victoria in most of the typical shots taken of Lake Louise.

I actually have a teaching degree so it'd be very VERY unprofessional of me to expect you to drop your studies and comment on my pics instead, so definitely no worries there
Glad you like it, and very happy to hear you can enjoy your well-deserved holidays.

Well, I'm not really teaching right now, except for some bachelor classes on semantics and Old and Middle English at the university where I work, but I have a specific teaching degree, so I technically could become a teacher. (Latin and English btw )

You definitely would, it is absolutely gorgeous, especially if you combine it with lake Agnes.

Bedankt Ik wou echt dat ik langer had kunnen blijven. België voelde bijna claustrofobisch na al die weidse Canadese landschappen.

Het is waar dat België anders is... Maar we moeten ook waarderen wat we hebben Ik zie er toch naar uit om over 20 dagen terug naar België te reizen. Maar het is ook een andere zaak als je maar een tweetal maanden per jaar er kunt zijn...

Dat kan ik geloven dan.
Ik heb trouwens zeker niets tegen België, hoor

It really was. If you're ever in the neighbourhood, you really should try it out for yourself.
