Waterton Trail Information
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide to Trail Information in Waterton, Alberta.
Waterton Lakeshore Trail + My Favorites
Each Wednesday and Saturday a naturalist takes visitors on the International Peace Park Hike along the Lakeshore Trail. Visitors trek from the townsite to Goat Haunt in Montana. Often hikers will take the boat ride to Goat Haunt and hike back, making the 13 km (8 mi) one-way trip. Additional information is available at the Visitor Centre.
Crypt Lake Trail + My Favorites
Crypt Lake Trail, in Waterton Lakes National Park, is considered one of Canada's top-rated hiking trails. After a boat shuttle across Waterton Lake, hikers set off onto the trail which includes four waterfalls, a natural tunnel and a short cable-assisted ledge portion as well as an assortment of wildlife. The destination of the hike is Crypt Lake, a crystal-clear turquoise-coloured lake at the base of a horse-shoe shaped granite wall.
Carthew-Alderson Trail + My Favorites
Carthew-Alderson Trail is one of the most popular in Waterton Lakes National Park. The trail winds through the Rockies, showcasing the ecological diversity of the park.
Snowshoe Cycling Trail + My Favorites
Cyclists have the chance to get a look at some impressive scenery on the Snowshoe Cycling Trail. The abandoned fire road features an uphill grade with some steep sections and follows Bauerman Creek to the Snowshoe Warden Cabin offering views of the surrounding mountains.
Bear's Hump Trail + My Favorites
Bear's Hump Trail is one of Waterton's most popular trails. Hikers are rewarded at the top of Bear's Hump with a panoramic view of the park.
Carthew Trail + My Favorites
The Carthew Trail begins at Cameron Lake and gives hikers a few choices. Try a moderately difficult day hike to Summit Lake or a longer and tougher full day hike to Carthew Summit, and then back into town passing Carthew and Alderson Lakes along the way. More information is available at the Visitor Centre.
Bertha Lake Trail + My Favorites
Beginning at the townsite campground, Bertha Lake Trail follows the lake and then heads uphill to Lower and Upper Bertha Falls. Continuing upward, hikers will eventually end up on a ridge over the valley that contains Bertha Lake. More information can be obtained from the Visitor Centre.
Wishbone Cycling Trail + My Favorites
Wishbone Trail is a former wagon train road that leads cyclists through aspen forest and grassland during the first half and is overgrown toward the end. The wide and flat trail ends at the Wishbone backcountry campsite.
Crandell Loop Cycling Trail + My Favorites
The Crandell Loop Trail offers cyclings a few choices depending on how long ride they are looking for. The biggest challenge is the 20 km (12.4 mi) loop around Crandell Mountain. Follow the trail parallel to the Red Rock Canyon Parkway through the Crandell Mountain Campground past Crandell Lake and back to Waterton townsite. Additional information can be obtained at the visitor centre.
