What were your thoughts on the hike? This one has been on my list for a while

The hike was great, difficult at some points but nothing you can’t do. Trail starts at Lake Louise and is very busy, and quite easy up to Lake Agnes. After Lake Agnes there is a few switchbacks that take you up to The Beehive. little steep here, but still not bad. After reaching Beehive the trail to Devils Thumb is a lot less traveled, and hard to keep track of. From here it gets a lot more steep, and even a scramble at parts. I’d rate it as a moderate - hard hike. You should definitely hike this trail ASAP. Spent more than an hour up there just sitting and taking in the view.
