昨天降温，今天依然很冷，LG膝盖还有点痛。早上思想斗争一番，把计划中的Observation Peak改成Lake Louise附近的Mount St. Piran。
Lake Louise是热门景点，虽是周一步道上人依然很多。好在过了Lake Agnes人少了一半，等我们爬到Mt. St. Piran山头，四周彻底没人，只有Ground Squirrels跑上前来讨食。
山头刮大风，远处乌云压顶，一半的山景看不到，觉得这趟爬得不值。下山路上天气转晴，于是决定再爬个小山头Devils Thumb。今天一不留神走了20.4公里，爬升4560尺。加上昨天走的24.8km，爬升4085尺。这两天可把我累坏了。

3-21. Mount Victoria, 3,464 metres (11,365 ft), is a mountain on the border between British Columbia and Alberta in the Canadian Rockies. It is located just northeast of Lake O'Hara in Yoho National Park and is also part of Banff National Park and is on the Continental Divide (which is the definition of the interprovincial boundary in this region). The mountain is located on the western buttress of Abbot Pass while Mount Lefroy lies on the eastern side. The mountain was named by J. Norman Collie in 1897 for Queen Victoria. The first successful ascent was made in 1897 by J. Norman Collie, Arthur Michael, Charles Fay, and Peter Sarbach [Wikipedia]
