Canadian Rockies Day 11 - Consolation Lakes

We woke to cool and cloudy weather today with a forecast for rain.  We had hoped to hike the Valley of Six Glaciers trail from Lake Louise, but didn't want to be caught out in the rain.  So instead we drove back to Moraine Lake to walk the trail to Consolation Lakes.  The trail is mostly through the trees so we figured we wouldn't get as wet.  Plus, it is only 4 miles round trip instead of about 8.


The lakes are hemmed in by a large moraine that I didn't feel like climbing.  So I didn't really get much of a view of the lake.




This is the view back down the valley.
