(1) This is Mirror Lake, part of the wonders you'll see on the
way.
(2) The trail follows the Lake Agnes/Tea House route, a very
popular tourist destination. Most people... and chipmunks
stay and linger around the Tea House to enjoy the treats.
We left this congested place after about half an hour of rest.
(1) From the Tea House, simply follow the trail to the Little
Beehive up to a signed fork on the left. After a little bit
of trees, the objective comes to life.
(2) Soon enough, the summit would be within reach. The trail
up has a very long and dragging switchbacks. I guess the Trail
Master wanted this to be grandma accessible.

Here's Evan flexing his nicotine-driven muscles.
(2) We had a lengthy stay at the summit to enjoy the view
and the warm weather. There were still a lot of chipmunks
at the top and I had a first glimpse of the pika... that would
be a treat for me.
This easy scramble took us 2.5hrs up and 1.5hrs down.
