The Little Beehive Hike is a must-do hike if you want to experience the best of Lake Louise. It is one of our favorite views in Canada!! Trust us, you cannot miss this one. It is 9.3km with constant steady incline but doable for most fitness levels. Noticing how the color of the lake changes with elevation will keep you motivated throughout.

Starting from Lake Louise, the trail takes you past Mirror Lake (where you will also see Devil's Thumb), and Lake Agnes before reaching the Little Beehive viewpoint. The Teahouse at Lake Agnes is a popular spot to refuel before continuing on to the ridge. From the viewpoint, (which AllTrails will tell you) you can get views of Lake Louise, Mirror Lake & Lake Agnes and all the surrounding mountains. It's absolutely stunning and you would want to spend at least 20 minutes here taking it in. This is the easier option compared to Big Beehive but in our opinion, this view is comparable to what you get at Big Beehive, which makes it a great option if you don't want to do an difficult hike.

Be sure to use Alltrails to know you're on track as there are a couple of trails which start from Lake Agnes.
