Great landscape from the trail. Lake Louise and Lake Agnes can be seen from the summit and we can enjoy the view of glaciers while hiking. The parking is so busy during summer. We have to wake up and get there early in the morning so that we can get a parking lot.
Lake Louise was not the main purpose today. Let's hiking!
Mirror Lake. I have never seen Beehive was reflected on the lake as its name.
Lake Agnes. We had a lunch time here.
The opposite site of Lake Agnes.
A steep, zig-zag trail. There were some tourists around there.
Keep going up from Beehive. The narrow trail can be found.
The glaciers can be seen from the trail.
Great view!
It's almost the summit. Very steep and very slippy.
I guess Devil's Thumb is in front? And Mt.Whyte is in the back?
Well...here is the summit. (I guess)
Both Lake Louise and Lake Agnes can be seen from the end.
Glaciers from the top.
The ground on the top is cracked.
The landscape while going back.
We really enjoyed hiking with great landscapes even the mountain is a bit far from Calgary. The bad thing was we had to stay for more than one hour to escape from the parking since it was extremely busy...
