Lake O'Hara


A view from the climb to Lake Oesa with Lake O'Hara in the far background.  The little stream pours through a series pools into the lake.  This is one of the more scenic spots in the Canadian Rockies and access is limited to protect the fragile environment.

Along the way, I got the best opportunity to photograph a mountain goat up close I've had but blew it while changing lenses.  It was a beautiful day and perfect weather for hiking.  It can be cold and snowy up here this time of year however and the bus that takes you into the area stops running today for the season.  If you can get in, this is a very worthwhile place to visit...
