The lakes are named after Lawrence Grassi who emigrated to Canada in 1912. After working for the Canadian Pacific Railway for several years, he began work as aminer in the Canmore coal mines in 1916. Grassi went on to become a well-respected climbing guide and built many trails in the area, including the one to the Grassi Lakes that bears his name & where Patrick was for his morning walk this morning.
The cliffs are formed from a fossil reef formed thousands of years ago. The cliff is a favorite of rock climbers who use the pockets left by the sponges as hand and foot-holds.
The reflections in the lakes and down into the valley were wonderful on such a beautiful day.
