I don't know why I haven't checked the off topic thread in awhile, i fell behind on all the pictures!
They were all absolutely gorgeous. When I was out west we also went to Lake Louise, Mirror Lake and others. They are just so beautiful, pictures don't do them justice. The water is such an awesome colour. When we hiked up to..oh gosh, I think it was Lake Agnes? Where you can hike up to the 'beehive' too? There were people swimming in the lake at the top that is fed by a glacier. I stuck my hand in and it was SO cold. You were allowed to fill up your water bottle in the lake, (they suggest you go down by the waterfall where the rocks have filtered it) that's how clean it is! The restaurant up there makes their own bread and everything. The staff have to hike up there with supplies and such. They stay for almost a week, then hike back down to stay with parents or wherever they live on their days off. It's pretty cool!
Anyways! the photos are awesome, I'm glad you stayed safe, although hiking on trails by yourself must have been creepy!
