The Iceline Trail, Yoho National Park, Canada



We did have one gloriously beautiful day in Yoho. So that called for one spectacular signature hike. Be careful what you wish for...

The Iceline Trail had been recommended to us as a fantastic hike and we decided that this was the hike we must do. About 18 km or 11 miles and 2,259 feet elevation gain with amazing views, alpine meadows and lakes, glaciers and rock staircases - what could be better? Well, we could have been at the end of it.  But it was worth it, we think...

Are we there yet?
Not much farther, we hope...
