Breathtaking Lake O'Hara

Of all the gorgeous hikes I’ve taken throughout the years, there is none more stunning than Lake O’Hara in the Canadian Rockies! This was a real OMG moment for me….deep turquoise water, majestic mountains – some snow capped, pines-a-plenty and beautiful wildflowers. After an early bus ride up to the trailhead, we took off for our six mile hike with our lunch in tow. The scenery around the lake was beyond breathtaking! The mirror image of the majestic mountains in the water was almost surreal! We climbed upward in elevation to Lake Oesa for our picnic lunch….passing glorious waterfalls along the way. This destination was so beautiful, that we just had to sit in silence to absorb it all! The return hike was equally enjoyable and as you can imagine, we took plenty of photos! (although they never seem to do justice to the true beauty of this wondrous land)
