We hiked up to the Little Beehive and as the fellow told us, it was difficult hiking in some big snow drifts. The trail was indeed hard to follow in places and we did a lot of slipping and sliding. But of course, we made it. There really wasn’t much to photograph of the Little Beehive. The beauty of the Little Beehive was the views, which we did photograph.

I really like the first photo because you can see Lake Louise (blue) at the bottom, Mirror Lake (green) a little higher up, and Lake Agnes (white) on the right side, tucked behind the Big Beehive.

I kept thinking about where we were, relative to Lake Louise as we walked the trail. At one point, I wandered off the trail towards the edge of the mountain, hoping for a better view than we had from the designated viewpoint. I found it and you can see three photos taken from that spot.

In the second photo, you can see Vicky in what must be the ‘fashion statement photo of the Decade’. Vicky’s tie-dyed shirt includes a blue that exactly matches the color of Lake Louise. Who knew that I was married to a fashion maven?

If you look up the Bow Valley on the left in the fourth photo, you can see a storm heading our way. It caught up to us. We took a break at the Lake Agnes Tea House and had some hot chocolate and snacks while waiting out the worst of the storm. You can see that in the last photo. We eventually headed back to Lake Louise in the rain.
