Accessible via popular 7.4 km (out and back) moderate trail, Lake Agnes is tucked away in the mountains above Lake Louise and has a historic tea house right next to it where you can refuel.

It's one of the bucket list hikes that we'd recommend if it's you first time in Banff, especially if you can continue further to Little or Big Beehive, and it's pretty during the fall when the larch trees around the lake turn yellow.

PS: Parking at Lake Louise gets extremely busy during the summer months. You'll either have to arrive super early or consider using Parks Canada Shuttle.
