BUCKET LIST HIKE IN BANFF 🥾🏔️👇

🐝 Name: The Little Beehive 

🌲 Distance: 5.7 miles round trip 

☁️ Elevation gain: 1955 feet 

👣 alltrails rating: Hard

🚙 Parking situation: Lake Louise parking lot! We arrived around 3:30 am so we had enough time to use the restroom and pay for parking before beginning the hike at 4. Also, it will cost $16 USD for the day (automated kiosk takes cards and tap to pay).

🔦 What to bring: Head lamps, flash lights, Lots of water, snacks, bear spray, bug spray, first aid kit, etc.

🐻 What to expect along on the trail: The hike begins from the Lake Louise shoreline near the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. Look for the signs indicating the start of the trail. Hiking in the dark can be challenging. Stay on the marked trail, follow safety signs, and be cautious of slippery or uneven terrain. Make lots of noise to alert animals of your presence. It’s also advisable to hike with a group for added safety. We were in a group of four and felt safety in numbers!

🌄 What to expect at the summit: Watching the sunrise over Lake Louise and the surrounding peaks is a truly magical experience. Watching the golden light bring everything to life was unforgettable for us.
