Canada's Mountains

Mount Saint Piran from Big Beehive   Panorama Mount Saint Piran is the rounded peak on the right

This small peak is accessible by trail, and a signed one at that. Just go to the Lake Louise parking area, and you got it, park. After that you must get out and walk.

The trail to the peak proper starts just before you get to Little Beehive. Look to your left for a trail, and a sign is just up the trail about ten feet. From that point on the crowds are few and the air fresh. I sometimes wish I could control the seasons, so I could do these hikes more often, but I'm not God so that's not my domain.

The Ice Field Parkway

Once on the summit the views are great, just not as good as Mt. Fairview.

Mount Niblock and Mount Whyte however are dominant from this perspective.

Once you've finished feeding yourself and drinking much water, go back to ground level and perhaps enjoy an expensive meal of greasy food at the local chalet.

Absence blots people out. We really have no absent friends.

Elizabeth Bowen
1899-1973, Anglo-Irish Novelist

No man is so perfect, so necessary to his friends, as to give them no cause to miss him less.

Jean De La Bruyère
1645-1696, French Classical Writer

Let me tell you I am better acquainted with you for a long absence, as men are with themselves for a long affliction: absence does but hold off a friend, to make one see him the truer.

Alexander Pope
1688-1744, British Poet, Critic, Translator
