Devil's Thumb is a challenging hike in Alberta, Canada, accessible via the Lake Agnes Trail. The trail offers stunning views of Lake Louise and Lake Agnes, and the surrounding mountains, but be prepared for a steep climb and some rocky terrain. It's definitely not a walk in the park, but the payoff at the top is totally worth it for those who love a good adventure and a killer view. Just make sure to bring plenty of water and snacks to fuel your journey!
