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.
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 :)
