The Iceline Trail in Yoho National Park presents amazing vistas across the valley, including the massive Daly Glacier that feeds Takakkaw Falls. We had just made it up to Emerald Glacier and sat down for lunch when a serious thunderstorm storm began. This is a normal occurrence when hiking in the Rockies so we just continued to soldier on. As we were making our way up a steep hill, a bolt of lightning struck close by. At that point, we did an about face that any drill instructor would be impressed with and started to run back down the hill. We will be back to finish this hike, hopefully without lightning.
