This hike starts at the ostentatious Lake Louise Hotel in Banff National Park, follows a busy trail to the teahouse at Lake Agnes and then heads up to the summit of Mt St Piran, a mountain overlooking the lake. Although modest in height compared to its neighbours, there is a great view from the summit of the monster peaks surrounding Lake Louise and a nice look at Bow Valley.
Round trip: 5-6 hours, 13 km, 920 m
