That reminds me, though. If you're in good hiking shape, you might want to try the Crypt Lake Trail:

The photos on the above site don't do it justice.
The hotel and the hiking trail are both right next to Waterton Lake.

dex said:Great place for hiking. Make sure you are in good shape for the altitude. Also the traffic and be bad on the narrow roads. Bring your passport and you can go to Canada.
