Blakiston Valley
By Rachel Richards
Hiking season is here at last and I’ve been collecting hiking buddies over the winter!
Over the weekend, a crew of us (including Ryan!) headed out to Waterton Lakes National Park for a group adventure.
Originally, we planned on going up Red Rock Canyon but the spring runoff had the stream so high we couldn’t walk along it, we would have had to swim.
Instead we headed to Blakiston Valley. We did a quick stop at Blakiston Falls and enjoyed the futuristic looking new observation decks.

Goat Haunt
By Rachel Richards
On Friday I snuck over the U.S. border.
There’s no wall yet! Ha ha ha.
Sorry, that’s my lame attempt at a little political humour.
But I did go hiking on the Goat Haunt trail that travels along Waterton Lakes, into the United States to an outpost called Goat Haunt.

Goat Lake
By Rachel Richards
There is nothing I love more than a day in the mountains!
Over the weekend I met up with a gal I used to coach to go hiking in Waterton.
We originally planned to go paddle boarding but it was so cold and overcast when we first pulled into town that we opted to head up to Red Rock Canyon parkway and do Goat Lake instead.

Bears Hump
By Erika and Jenny
It’s not that I will NEVER repeat a trail, it’s just that with so many mountains and so many trails and options in the rockies, does one really ever need to?
No.
There is one* exception: Bears Hump in Waterton Lakes National Park.

Glacier National Park (Montana, USA)
Iceberg Lake
By Rachel Richards
As my loyal readers know I am a Waterton fan.
That place has a magic to it that makes me instantly happy when I pull past the gates and there is so much of that little park I have yet to conquer, but now I have all of Glacier National Park too because that place is incredible!
