Itinerary: | |||||||
Elevation Gain: 750m or so Distance: 9 kilometers return The Devil's Thumb is a great little gem of a hike in the Lake Louise area. Most of this hike follows the very busy Lk Agnes/Big Beehive trail but once you leave the maintained path the spectacular views begin to unfold. The rest of the trip is a bit of an adventure and should provide a few manageable challenges. Please note: Parts of this hike involve a short scrambling section, narrow trails and also going up very steep terrain and thus is best suited to the more advanced hiker. | |||||||
