The Devil’s Thumb Trail, 16km out-and-back trail starting from Lake Louise, Alberta. It is considered a challenging trail. It is a captivating hiking trail that offers an exhilarating adventure. This trail begins from Lake Louise, in a dense forest. As it ascends, the trail gradually steepens, winding through a mix of rocky outcrops and lush undergrowth.

 

The higher you climb, the more dramatic the scenery becomes. As approaching the summit, the trail becomes more challenging, with steep sections and rocky terrain. However, the view of Devil’s Thumb itself awaits. The iconic peak, with its striking shape and formidable presence, stands majestically against the backdrop of the sky. Once at the summit, the breathtaking vistas stretch out in every direction: Lake Agnes, Lake Louise, Mountain Peaks, Glaciers, Larch trees…

 

The Elevation of Devil's thumb is 2494m, the elevation gain is 1046m. The last 1-2 km climbing was very touch.

 

Can you see Fairmont Chateau at Lake Louise?
