We stopped at Waterton Lakes National Park for a break on our long drive today. We did the short hike up to Bear's Hump near the visitor center. This is 1.8 miles round trip with 738 ft of elevation gain. Here is a view of Bear's Hump from across the road.
This is a steep rocky trail with short switchbacks and large wooden beam steps. We saw wildflowers and ripe berries along the trail.
The view from the top of Bear's Hump were fabulous, we could see Lower Waterton Lake, Middle Waterton Lake, and Upper Waterton Lake, along with many peaks. Waterton Townsite lies below:
