Had lunch at the tea house. I would LOVE to do this hike! 891.99 m Up

Hello! Required fields are marked *. But the views make it all worth it! *. Total 2.5 hours with short breaks for water and pictures along the way. That’s how my brother, Sir Campsalot, convinced us to make the trek up to Lake Agnes Tea House in Banff National Park. I need to follow your brother’s lead because I do not drink enough water. Even the drive there is stunning. Because typically early to mid-June it’s still the dark emerald color and not the brilliant turquoise color. Please do your part to help the staff and keep our parks clean by being prepared to pack out any garbage from your visit. Depending on the conditions when we reached the Big Beehive, we gave ourselves the option to extend our hike to a place called, the Devil’s Thumb which provides scenic views above Lake Agnes and Lake Louise. The Lake Agnes Trail, while shrouded by trees for most of the journey, still has moments of absolutely stunning beauty. Hmff hmff. Walking around Lake Agnes while you wait isn’t too shabby. You gain a good amount of altitude in a short while, but the switchbacks are well graded. Lake Agnes Trail is a 4.7 mile heavily trafficked out and back trail located near Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada that features a waterfall and is rated as moderate. We spent a few minutes walking the edge of the lake and enjoying its sparsely populate shores before it was time to start our adventure, the Big Beehive hike. First it was twenty minutes, then ten, then thirty. Taking other people's content (text, photos, etc) without permission is a copyright violation and We saw a marmot up near Lake Agnes and a moose grazing by the road leading up to the trailhead. In addition to the teahouse are amazing views of crystal clear water. Breathtaking. At the summit, there is a small shelter that was built by the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1916. I am bent over waiting for this beetle to come out from under that leaf. Passed a lot more people on the way down. So technically, your ambulatory adventure begins not on the trail… not at the Lake Louise waterfront… but in the parking lot. After about 200 meters (0.1 miles), you’ll see this sign, which marks the start of your hike. Views from various spots around the lake are breathtaking. I really enjoyed your photographs of Lake Louise, along with Mirror Lake and Lake Agnes. In the winter the final stretch before Lake Agnes passes a slope that gets loaded with snow – so there can be avalanche danger. So save yourself the trouble, and know that you’ll get to your destination eventually. The switchbacks to gain elevation are a bit strenuous (mainly due to already being above 10,200), but the path is clear and very pretty. Follow along as we share our adventures at home & abroad. We thought that seemed to be impassable at a brief glance, and spent the next hour following false cairns up rocky scrambles 200' up and over the cliffs, only to turn around. It doesn’t seem too hard either so I was trying to figure out why we didn’t even consider to go… I think it was because the tea house is only open in the summer and you know, summer in Lake Louise is always crazy!!

If you’re a newbie hiker, give yourself a pat on the back and go grab a cold beer in downtown Banff. I use Lonely Planet and Moon. But, the views make it all worth while.

The Lake Agnes trail and the tea house are both often crowded but this is a spot that should not be missed when visiting the Candian Rockies. • 27.7 km Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash. We were not physically prepared so it was hard for us. Good tip on taking those photos early before you’re a hot mess, haahaha. A hiker was coming down on our left, and we watched as he stepped cautiously over the scree. Having previously hiked to the Plain of Six Glaciers from Lake Louise, we were excited to venture to one of the other main attractions in the area, the Lake Agnes and the Big Beehive hike. arrived at 820, got a parking spot, hike was great with a 6year old and 4 year old. Lots of bugs. Trail was quiet and only passed 3 or 4 other groups on the way up. • It does get a little windy up there. If you have family coming in and don't want the bustle of RMNP, drive a little further up the Poudre for a shorter hike and a great vista view and alpine lake. lol). There are two trails that lead to Lake Agnes from Mirror Lake, and we opted for the slightly shorter, and less crowded Highline Trail. It’s closed from Thanksgiving to early June. Several people, regardless of background, smiled at us and said “You’re almost there!” as we climbed up and they climbed down. I hope to read more like this one. It’s a long uphill dirt road to get there. I’m still kicking myself for not getting to Banff when I was in the Glacier area of Montana! Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash. Being a jerk / offensive? Labelled as moderate, the hike is perfect for anyone looking to get out of the house and into the fresh air. It’s about a mile to reach the Big Beehive and once we passed the lake, we encountered some patches of lingering snow. Unless you’re an early bird, odds are you’ll have to wait your turn to sit down at the tea house. This trail heads up from the left side of Mirror Lake and is just about a half mile to Lake Agnes.
