This quick nature walk would serve as a great spot to have a picnic or to quickly stretch your legs. It still manages to provide a few different view types, including a great view of Bonney glacier to the south as well as a small boulder field and a lush forest that is taking over the rocks.
The trail through the boulders has been laid out using rocks from the boulder field making an easy path.
Pine forest and moss slowly overtakes the rock field.
Cool pics. Thanks for the trail report. The Rockies just get better the further into Canada one goes for sure!
Thanks! Yeah, I think Stanley glacier may be my favorite hike up here so far, but they’ve all been so nice. There is a ton I’ll need to come back and do since I came through here so early, but I am more than happy to come back. I’ve got maybe 10 more days to check out castle park and waterton area before I cross back into the states for a little while heading east. There’s still a ton of daily hikes to post before then though, I’m just going through in the order they happened.
Very cool. I haven't been to Waterton but I spend a lot of time in glacier. Looking forward to seeing more.
If you mean Glacier on the US side, yeah my favorite park that I’ve been to. I’ll spend a little time there when I cross over, gotta get in another go on the Pitamakan-Dawson for one thing. I’ve always been there end of season though so it’ll be nice to see this time of year. Waterton will be first time for me.
I was there early this season when all the creeks were full and the waterfalls were huge and loud. Every few weeks it's like a new park until winter settles in
