We are in Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada for the next few days and the top item on our activity list was to hike to at least one of the local tea houses. We chose to head to the Plain of Six Glaciers tea house today. It is the less visited one because it is 7.3km

Our first full day in Grand Teton National Park was started with a two hour ride through miles of park land via horseback. This was a Christmas present from Chris’s parents that we have been anxiously awaiting for 6 months! The other couple that was scheduled for our tour did not show up, so the
