The Path to Crandell Lake
The path to Crandell Lake involved first some elevation gain, approximately 125 metres or so, followed by elevation loss of about half that as you approach the lake. Not typical really. Most hikes generally

Move Over
Well the hike to Crandell Lake started off with a little bit of excitement you might say. So I’m hiking solo and all of a sudden a family of big horned sheep are approaching, and they don’t seem like they

Beauvais Lake
Located just outside of Waterton Lakes Park is this tiny lake called Beauvais. I guess I sort of “found” this lake as I was driving around the area, checking out the lay of the land. Perfect opportunity

Have Fun, Drive Safe
In order to get to your hiking destination, it usually requires mountain road driving. Now this is usually not your typical highway driving experience. First of all you have winding roads mixed with hilly

A couple more captures from my short, very short hike on the Bellevue Prairie trail. The majority of the views were right at or near the trailhead. The further along the trail I went, the less interesting

Bellevue Abort
I decided to check out this nearly zero elevation gain trail called the “Bellevue Prairie trail”. Aside from some decent mountain footage to the left of the trail, the rest of the trail looked boring and
