Im not sure who's idea this was but we all decided to hike up to the Little Beehive. In the Dark. In bear country. Of course it wasn't as dangerous as it sounds but still in our minds it was very scary. But it was well worth it for that sunrise over lake louise!!
Are you scared?
What are you scared of?
I just don't want to run into a bear.
Addison?
I'm not as positive sounding as you.
I could throw up.
My phone says that I've done
1.9 miles.
Oh nice!
It's 2.7
from the parking lot to Little Beehive.
So we have less than a mile.
It is just before
3 o'clock
in the morning. We woke up at 2.30.
And we're hiking up to
the Little Beehive for an early
basically just for an early
sunrise photo shoot. That's the only reason why we're
doing this.
I don't know whose idea it was
but...
Are you scared?
I'm scared.
I could throw up.
It's 2.7
from the parking lot to Little Beehive.

Alright. Onward and upward.
What do you guys think?
Feeling better.
I feel a little bit better.
It's starting to brighten up so it's not too
intimidating now.
The beauty makes me feel more comfortable.
The darkness really just...
It's a pit in your stomach that is pretty unexplainable.
Oh yeah.
It's mental.
Unless you've hiked in the dark
in bear country.
Literal bear country.
You don't know the fear.
Don't worry mom. I did my research though.
Oh we did.
No one said anything about a bear on this trail.
And usually the ones in Jackson
if I read about the reviews
for Ginny Lake or
Hidden Falls and stuff
everyone was talking about seeing bears.
But not here.
Not to be naive
obviously they're out somewhere.
Just the fact that it's starting
to get a little light out has made me feel so much better.
Oh yeah.
Okay. I think we are
almost to the top.
How are you feeling?
I feel
tired and nauseous.
Is it going to be worth it?
Yeah. It's going to be worth it.
Yes.
Oh my god.
Wow.
This is it.
It's crazy that that's Mirror Lake right there.
How much more we had to go
after Mirror Lake.
And I really felt like we were going to be so close.
Once we hit Mirror.
We had a really good morning.
The morning came.
We saw. We conquered.
Now we're going to go down
to the Fairmont Chateau.
Right in here.
Grab some coffee.
Go back home and sleep.
We did it. We did it.
Now let's go get some coffee.
We deserve it.
We do deserve it.
Look at this.
