After hiking down from the Big Beehive on the Highline trail, I connect up with the Plain of 6 glaciers trail and the first thing I notice is the amount of Horsesh!t which means I have to be even more careful with where I put my feet. The trail winds its way into the valley and the description is pretty accurate - there are 6 glaciers visible when you do a 360 degree twirl at the end of the trail. I don't bother getting anything from the tea shop there but enjoy my Granola Trail mix bar instead. I have covered about 10km so far, there is the small matter of the last 5km back to Chateau Lake louise where all this started. You can see from the picture of Lake Louise how far I am away from it but it has been a fantastic hike and I can highly recommend this one (Just don't tread into the poo). The total distance covered was over 15km. After this, I return to the hostel and enjoy a Bison burger from the in hostel cafe.
