We did a hike to Marion Lake that took us about 3 hours return and the views of the mountains and glaciers from it were worth every drop of sweat. Check out the BLOG!

Starting out on the hike, so far just a gentle incline up.

This was what most of the trail was like, uphill all the way. Jax’s pulling came in very useful at times like this!

Fantastic scenery

Awesome mountain top views

Marion Lake Elevation - the elevation gain on this hike was about 425m.

Jax got rewarded with some cheese for all his help.

And of course he got a swim in Marion Lake

Taking a break on the avalanche slide

Glacier House ruins - this was a resort created and run by Canadian Pacific Railway from 1887-1925 and torn down in 1929

Historical info about the ruins, I know you can’t read it but I can if I zoom in on it, good reference material. If you want more info on it, google it!

Illecillewaet River - very fast moving & frigid!

At the top of the hike there was a view point and this is the amazing view. That’s the Trans Canada Hwy to the west

And this is the view to the east. And this is what we been driving thru for a while now, getting a sore neck looking up all the time.
