Iceline trail to Celeste Lake, Yoho National Park - July 13th 2024

One of the most spectacular hikes in the Rockies, with close-up views of numerous glaciers, the second highest waterfalls in Canada (Takakkaw Falls), peaks of mountains, and much more. Probably called Iceline because the trail follows the lower edge of several (unfortunately fast-receding) glaciers in Yoho NP, you will get great views of Takakkaw Falls, the Daly Glacier above it that feeds it and the Yoho River, and great views of numerous other glaciers. A must-do trail, which can only be done in summer and early fall as the access road gets closed when the snows come. Overnighters can continue to either Little Yoho Campground or the Stanley Mitchell hut (of Alpine Club of Canada - contact them for details and reservations). This time, we chose to merge right and loop down to Celeste Lake. It was a gorgeous morning in the Canadian Rockies!
