We started the day early with a walk up to Lake Agnes. Again, the weather was fantastic with clear blue skies. Lake Agnes sits above Lake Louise and is accessed via a trail starting at the lake front. As early birds we pretty much had the trail to ourselves for most of the morning. We took the long route to Lake Agnes, hiking via the Mirror Lake and the Little Beehive. The views were stunning although we were both breathless from the exertion. It was just the two of us on the trail for the best part of the morning, and it was all the better for it. The total distance was about 5Km each way and took about 3 hours, including a stop for tea at the tea house next to Lake Agnes. A bottle of water there cost $4, but considering they have to hike or helicopter supplies in, the cost is understandable. Anyway, the walk was thoroughly enjoyable and the views from the top made the effort well worth while. Incidently, I am sure I saw some bear tracks alongside the horse hoof prints next to Mirror Lake. What do you think? Below is a shot of Lake Agnes.
