Along with Lake Ages, another popular trail in the Lake Louise area is the Plains of the Six Glaciers Trail. This
trail brings you to the toe of the spectacular Victoria Glacier. As with Lake
Agnes, there is also a tea house where you can rest and sample some of the
delicious home-baked treats.
The trail head begins on the shoreline to
the far right of Chateau Lake Louise. It follows the lake shore trail to the far
end of the lake. It continues past the inlet creek that feeds Lake Louise and
eventually emerges through the trees into a rocky terrain which ultimately leads
to Victoria Glacier. There are many sites to enjoy along the way such as
glaciers, moraines, avalanche paths and a variety of alpine wildflowers.
