Little Beehive, Banff National Park On the way up to Little Beehive, which was essentially a pure ascent. Along with a different angle on Fairview Mountain, the water of Lake Louise has a distinctively different colour from this vantage point.

Mountain Goat Passing

Little Beehive, Banff National Park There were other hikers atop Little Beehive, but the more surprising visitor was this mountain goat. It seemed to be missing some of its coat, maybe because it was shedding since it was summer? In any case, it didn't pay the human visitors much attention.

Curious Mountain Goat

Little Beehive, Banff National Park After taking in the view, the mountain goat was still in the area. Here it seems to at least notice my presence. Nonetheless, it proceeded to climb along the mountain edge - they're clearly not afraid of heights.
