About this audio guide
This guide to Lake Agnes, above Lake Louise in Banff National Park, follows the century-old teahouse perched near the treeline and the daily effort of getting every scone, pot of tea, and bag of flour up there on foot or by helicopter. It touches the eighteen eighty six visit that gave the lake its name, and the avalanche season that shuts the trail each winter. Watch for pikas and golden-mantled ground squirrels working the boulders near the water.
