Popular Day Hikes: Waterton covers 33 hikes in southern Alberta's
beautiful Waterton Lakes National Park. From short, easy walks, to
longer, full-day hikes, to easy scrambles, this book outlines mountain
trips for all ages and all levels of difficulty. Some of the hikes
included are:
Lost Horse Creek
Red Rock Canyon
Blakiston Falls
Lineham Falls
Ruby Ridge
Carthew Summit
Bear's Hump
Kootenai Brown Trail
Although small, relative to other national parks, Waterton is one of the
most unique and scenic in all of Canada, largely due to the enormous
variety of colourful rock prevalent throughout the area, striking
mountains (composed of all that colourful rock), and a number of
stunning lakes. Easy access to all corners of this incredible mountain
environment is made possible by an extensive, well-developed and
well-maintained system of trails.
The tiny but quaint town of Waterton lies on the shores of the Canadian
Rockies' deepest lake, Upper Waterton Lake, and is surrounded by
picturesque mountains. Perched above the lake is the iconic Prince of
Wales Hotel, one of the most photographed hotels in Canada. Throughout
the summer, all services are available in and around the townsite,
making weekend or week-long trips to Waterton ideal.
Waterton is a visually breathtaking feast that everyone should
experience. Enjoy!
