Big Beehive is one stop while we did the big loop hike, starting from Lake Louise, then stopped at Lake Agnes, Devils Thumb, Big Beehive, Plains of Six Glaciers, and finally back to Lake Louise. You can visit Big Beehive either through the big loop as we did. Or you can just go there via Lake Agnes and then turn around. The views from Big Beehive was great. And the difficulty level for the trail leading to Big Beehive was between easy and modest. Highly recommended.

Russian all-terrain vehicles painted in the colours of the Canadian flag will take you directly to the glacier, or rather to its cleared part. There will be icy slopes around you and you will be able to freely wander on the ice ...

Walking up is about 15 minutes from the central area. Worth the hill because you get some nice shots from a closer perspective of the Roché.

Take the huge bus up to the glacier for a walk then walk out over the canyon using the glass bridge. Great staff on the bus keeping you entertained and amazing sights, well worth a visit.

The drive was beautiful but a bit scary. Very narrow with 180 degree switchbacks and drop-offs in some areas. We arrived at the parking area late afternoon, after a long day of sight-seeing. It was starting to get cold and the mosquito's were horrendous so we decided to not attempt the hike to the glacier.

We visited all Atlantic Canada on a road trip with our grandkids and we had planned to include this attraction as a part of our trip. It is easy to get to the Hopewell Rocks, and once there it is easy to see the attractions even if you have mobility issues. There is a shuttle cart runs every few minutes between the entry area and the Rocks. We used it ant it was very convenient. The observation platform is well positioned and provides an excellent viewpoint. Our granddaughter went down to walk in the ocean floor and was very impressed! It was fun to watch the ocean disappear and the ocean bed expand. This is a natural site that has been decades in creation and well worth a visit.

This is a place we visit every time we come to the island in the summer. The water is crystal clear and awesome for swimming. The current is so gentle, it’s safe even for the little ones. Our teenage boys love cliff jumping and this is a great and safe place to do it.

I hiked the Spirit Sands and Devil's Punch Bowl on April 27, 2020. This is one of my favourite trails in the province and spring is a great season to enjoy it, to avoid the bugs and intense heat in the summer. The trail conditions were fantastic and it was a beautiful and moderately challenging hike! I love how unique this trail is, as it passes through a variety of landscapes including sand dunes, forest and grasslands. I hiked the full loop through the sand dunes and to the Punch Bowl which was 9 km in total. The hike starts out by passing through the forest. At the first junction, I took the more challenging route to the sand dunes which led to a viewing platform with beautiful views of the scenery! I loved walking through through the rolling sand dunes and it's something you would never expect to find in the middle of the Prairies. There is an optional 1.6 km trail (Oasis Trail) that takes you around the sand dunes, which I did not end up doing. After the sand dunes, the trail enters the forest and then follows through grasslands before arriving at the Punch Bowl. There were beautiful purple Prairie Crocuses blooming in the grasses along the trail which was gorgeous to see! At the junction, I followed the path to the right with a camera sign where there were amazing views of the Punch Bowl and it's vibrant blue-green waters. Very pretty! From there, I went back and continued on the main trail to the wooden stairway and bridge crossing a small peaceful lake, where I spotted a family of turtles sunning themselves on a log. There was a boardwalk walkway that led down to the edge of the Punch Bowl where there was a nice bench and area to enjoy a picnic lunch. There were lots of beautiful views of the different landscapes along the way and it was a peaceful trail to hike. This is a moderately challenging hike. It involves climbing up steep sand dunes at times, multiple sets of stairs, various sections of ups and downs, and the added difficulty of walking through sand. I would suggest wearing sturdy hiking boots or shoes. I arrived to the trailhead at 9 AM and was the first one there. On the hike back, I passed multiple groups of people and there were close to 20 cars in the parking lot. Would recommend arriving in the morning to enjoy this trail to yourself. Bring enough water with you and make sure to take your garbage with you. I was disappointed to see quite a bit of garbage (plastic bottles, coffee cups, candy wrappers, toilet paper), littered along the trail. Please respect nature and help preserve the parks!! All of the outhouses along the trail and at the trailhead are currently closed and boarded shut. If you need to do your business in the woods, make sure to take your toilet paper with you. Really enjoyed my time hiking this trail! It's always a favourite of mine.
