Moderate 7.3 mi out and back 2,270 ft elevation gain Hiked 6/12/25
Little Beehive is the easier to ascend of the two and maintains a similar trail to previous sections, although a little steeper at times. Provides nice overhead views of (clouds) the turquoise Lake Louise and Mirror Lake as well as a side view of Big Beehive. Skips rear of Lake Agnes and Big Beehive, instead going down the side of it to make a loop.
Lake Louise and Hotel along with Mirror lake (smaller, right) sit among the trees in this rare gap in the clouds on my hike.
A side shot of the vertical face of Big Beehive, the lookout tower is barely peeking out in the stretch of cloud along the top.
The view from Little Beehive Watchtower is just as clouded as from the Big Beehive.
I've never seen a body of water so beautiful. Also amazing shots with the clouds, although I'd imagine it clouded the stunning view.
Haha, yeah it was still an absolutely great hike, and this set is actually from the end of my hike when it finally broke up a little bit. If it kept breaking up, some people after me probably got the perfect views with a clouds streaking. Tomorrow’s section to big beehive, which I actually did first, never left the clouds when I was there though, and why I’m all Moody with the clouds haha. Looked cool anyways, but never saw the lake in full.
That sounds like a lot of fun, I'd love to start hiking some time in the future, where I live there's a concerning lack of nature to hike in? Hike at? Hike on? You get the idea :)
