It gets chillier & chillier as we climb & eventually it starts to snow. This feels very bizarre as it's August & it's sunny & warm down at Lake Louise.
The fabled tearoom does not disappoint. It's a cute little log cabin (sorry, in my haste to revive myself with tea & cake after the long walk I forgot to take a photo). There is no electricity or running water up there. The supplies for the baking are flown in by helicopter at the start of the season then & replenishments are brought up the mountain on horseback. The staff live at the cabin for the whole summer in the roof of the tearoom. They bake fresh bread & cakes every day. I can confirm that the lemon poppy seed cake is delicious.
Despite the fact that you're not supposed to, few people can resist feeding the golden-mantled squirrels so the outside tables are overrun with the greedy crumb snatchers.
We make one more stop before we reach Jasper, this time to view Lake Peyto shown in the last two pictures.
