You step off the Lake Louise shoreline where the water pushes a cool breath up the valley and begin to climb. Pine slopes tighten, switchbacks tighten your pace, and the trail unspools toward Mirror Lake and Lake Agnes, each pond a glassy pause that dares you to keep going. Above the treeline the Beehive waits — a compact summit that throws sweeping views back over the turquoise lake and the ridges that cradle Victoria Glacier.
