We had another wonderful hike today, walking about 5 ½ miles
and climbing over 1600 feet.
We drove up a winding mountain road to the start of the hike up Mount Edith Cavell, with gorgeous views of Angel Glacier. We stopped along the road to get a neat valley view.
This is a map of the trail.
We took the trail over the moraine to get a neat view of the glacier and lake.
During the hike we heard and saw many small avalanches.
Then we started up the trail to Cavell Meadows. We got more great views of the glacier and lake.
There was lots of heather in bloom beside the trail.
The meadow was neat with many patches of snow.
We finally decided to turn around instead of taking the loop trail, due to the large amount of slippery snow on the path, which made for very slow going.
On the walk back past the moraine we saw several marmots, including a couple of cute little ones.
