Lake Louise's BEST KEPT SECRET: Little Beehive Hike

The Little Beehive hike is a stunning trail located in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. It offers breathtaking views of Lake Louise and the surrounding peaks. Along the way, you'll pass by Mirror Lake and the Lake Agnes Teahouse, which is a great spot for a break. Canadian Rockies Hike. June 17/2023 Spring Hike, Alberta Canada I truly believe that this trail has the most STUNNING views of the Lake Louise area. We arrived at the Lake Louise parking lot shortly after 7am and it was almost full. I recommend getting there as early as you can. Today we will be hiking up to the Little Beehive. We did this as a loop hike, so we saw Lake Louise, Mirror Lake, and Lake Agnes. Be prepared for a lot of people on the trail, as the trail up to Lake Agnes and the Teahouse is one of the most popular trails here. From the upper parking lot, we made our way to Lake Louise. This lake is so magical in the morning when there is not a lot of wind. Cross the bridge and head towards the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. Just after the chateau you are supposed to take a right to get onto the trail up to Lake Agnes. This was blocked off, so we had to go a little further along the lake, and then go up some stairs. The trail gets fairly steep right away, and you will not have any views for a while as you are in the trees. At 1.2k the trail eases up a little bit. Soon you will have more rocks and roots on the trail, so you have to watch where you step. At 2.3k you will get your first view of Lake Louise and you will have arrived at your first switchback. You will now start heading away from the lake. More rocks and roots. Around 3.3k you will arrive at Mirror Lake. This is a beautiful little lake with the Big Beehive towering above it. The trail will now get steeper and there will be some more switchbacks. As you climb higher you will start and get some views looking over the Bow Valley. At 4k you will take the trail to the right to go to Little Beehive. Now the trail wasn’t as busy as most of the people were heading to Lake Agnes and the Teahouse. Now you will really start and get some views. To your right is Mount Saint Piran towering above you. Looking back, you get a great view of Fairview Mountain. You will continue up some switchbacks and when you come back the other way you will a great view of the Big Beehive and Devils Thumb. This area is an avalanche path. There were a lot of downed and destroyed trees here. Soon you will see Mirror Lake down to your left. As you continue up the switchbacks you will now be able to see Lake Louise and be looking down at the Bow Valley. As we climbed higher the clouds were moving in on us. At 5k you will arrive at a lookout on your right. This is where you will get the BEST VIEWS on this hike. From here you can see Devils Thumb, and the Big Beehive. As well as Lake Agnes, Mirror Lake and Lake Louise. We continued up the trail for a bit to another lookout. From here you get a great view of Lake Louise and looking down the Bow Valley. It started to rain on us a little here. At 5.3k we made it to the summit of Little Beehive. The views weren’t the best here as the clouds moved in on us. We had our lunch and a beer and headed back down. We stopped at the first lookout again to get some more video and pictures. We worked our way down and there was a trail to the right that would take us to Lake Agnes. Once we got to the Teahouse, we were greeted by at least 100 people. The view looking up Lake Agnes is just stunning. Right below Lake Agnes is a beautiful waterfall. We continued and went down a whole bunch of stairs. We were now below the Big Beehive rock face. This trail is a lot steeper than any other trail we were on today. The trail opens up once again and we were welcomed with another stunning view of the mountains. Soon we arrived at Mirror Lake. The trail from here down to Lake Louise was very busy. Our Maximum elevation was 2235 meters and we hiked 11.2 kilometers with an elevation gain of 530 meters. As I said at the beginning, I truly believe that this trail offers the most STUNNING views of the Lake Louise area and I highly recommend it. Be prepared to have to deal with a lot of people on the trail. This is my 113th video. Thank you very much for watching. If you enjoyed this video, please give it a thumbs up.
