It was another awesome day today. I came across something while I was perusing The Real Banff website called the Lake Louise Highline Tea House Challenge. I like a challenge, so I asked Dan if he’d like to partake in this challenge. Of course he said yes. And it was awesome. Basically, you needed to hike to both of the tea houses in the Lake Louise area- the Plain of Six Glaciers Tea House and the Lake Agnes Tea House- and collect half of a magnet at each tea house to create a unique souvenir.

The scheduled activity for the day was a lunch date with Suzanne, the owner of the Plain of Six Glaciers Tea House. She explained a little about the history of the tea house, and what it takes to run the tea house throughout the summer. It was all quite interesting to hear, and she was so nice! After earning the first half of the magnet, we then hiked the Highline Trail to Lake Agnes where we collected the second half of the magnet to form the “I Hiked the Tea House Highline Challenge”. Yippiie!

As if one challenge isn’t enough… why not do two? 🙂
