Hike to Lodge

Some friends and I hiked out to a lodge in the Banff National Park - Shadow Lake Lodge. It is 14 km one-way trip. The winter path usually requires cross-country skiing or snowshoeing to make your way to the lodge. But because we have had a 'warm' winter, there was not a lot of snow, so we were able to walk the trail. 

Below are some photos from the trip.

 We stopped and had breakfast in Canmore on the morning of the trip up (this is where I took Paul, Liz, Maddy and Dan for breakfast too!)
