Beehive, The
On Friday, September 25 2010 my wife and I did a nice hiking circuit in Lake Louise. Our route took us to Lake Agnes, over The Beehive and down to the Plain of Six Glaciers trail back to the parking lot. The Beehive is not a tough scramble by any means, but it does involve some elevation gain and consequently some very sublime views.
Hanneke walks up the trail to Lake Agnes - The Beehive looms above.
