Rockies tea house serves up a view worth the hike (National Post)
From The National Post through canada.com:

The Plain of Six Glaciers Tea House in Banff, Alberta, a two-storey stone building finished in 1927 and designed to serve as a pit stop between the lake below and the masses of ice above, is the final destination for most hikers along this path. Joy Kimball, who at 78 cruises up the mountain in an hour and a half, still helps out baking homemade chocolate cake, bread and biscuits up here, all without the benefit of electricity. She bought the tea house from the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1959 after seeing an advertisement in the newspaper.
