10 Mile Hike near Lake Louise
After teaching two graphic design classes to a lovely group of folks at a small business marketing conference up in Canmore, Alberta, I was treated to a 10 mile hike up to Plains of the Six Glaciers with my friend (and Your Mac Life listener) Maurice Shevalier. (Click here to see the Flickr picture gallery.)The hike was scary in places as we had to cross ice fields that were really steep! I was so proud of myself for making it all the way up (and back down again). How often can you say you had a sandwich at 10,000 ft. while watching avalanches off a honkin' big glacier?!
The Alexander Keith's I had back down at the Chateau was The Best Beer Ever.
Now let's hope I'm not too sore to make it to the airport. Thank you Maurice for an amazing day!

Mmmmmm, sorry but you weren't anywhere near 10,000 feet. Maybe it felt like it, though even 10K isn't that high. The tea house is officially noted to be at 6,850 feet. If you made a guided climb to the very peak of Mount Victoria, you still wouldn't be at 10,000 feet but the sandwich would have tasted even better.
