The first major attraction on the way to Bertha Lake was the lower falls. Not nearly as tall as the upper falls, but definitely more visible to see and photograph. I stayed there awhile to soak in the

Journeying onward and upward toward Bertha Lake, located inside Waterton Lakes national park, Alberta. Over yonder is Waterton lake itself, showing us its beautiful turquoise colour (a common occurrence

I had been planning on doing this hike to Bertha Lake for about a year now. The first time around we only went about a third of the way, this time is was gonna be all the way to the Lake. I was prepared

You know that saying: “it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey”. Well this hike to Bertha Lake reminds me of this saying; and with views like this, who even needs to go to Bertha lake?!

Last year we hiked to Lower Bertha Falls, or about a third of the way to Bertha lake. This year the plan was to hike all the way to the lake, so I did. Located inside Waterton Lakes Park, Alberta, the

Welcome to another “Random Friday” where I display random photos captured over the last year or so. We are now officially in the weekend! Any Big plans? How was the week that was? Did you get up to anything

Lower Lineham Falls? Well about a kilometre or so from the major Lineham Falls there is a much smaller fall located just off the trailhead, along Lineham Creek. Obviously at much smaller scale than big

After spending some time at Lineham Falls, it was time to return back to trailhead. All great hikes must come to an end right? (unfortunately). As I made my way back down, I slipped on some loose rocks,

Thought I’d play around with the shutter speed here at Lineham Falls. The first two photos were taken at a speed of 1/2500th of a second (2500 ISO), and the third was taken with a shutter speed of 1/250th

Here I am, at the base of this great water fall! The roar of the fall was loud, but not deafening. It was a surreal experience being so close — it was fantastic! After snapping a few photos and taking

As I approached Lineham Falls, we get a better look, up close — the reward for my effort. Hiking to a fall is certainly one of my favourite type of hikes to do. You always know there is a guaranteed reward

Here we are getting a little closer to the magnificent Lineham Falls, located inside Waterton Lakes Park, Alberta. Along the way, there was also a miniature falls to check out. Notice the red tint in the

It’s Friday October 16th, another Random Friday, another Fall season in full force! Leaves turning such pretty colours, cooler breezes in the air. Next the snow will fly, but hopefully not until well into

A few more pics to show you as I made my way to the spectacular Lineham Falls. Apparently there are a couple of tiny lakes that feed the falls, but it doesn't look like one can hike up there, either that

The trails on the way to Lineham falls were pristine and easy to follow. Some of the best manicured trails inside Waterton Lakes Park actually. Sometimes you encounter trails with excessive roots, which

The first planned hike during my Waterton Lakes Park stay was to Lineham Falls. I had been looking forward to this one for about a year actually! Orginally I had considered doing it the year before, but

Moving on from Cranbrook’s community forest to a hike inside Waterton Lakes park, Alberta. This is the next adventure my life takes. July vacation started here in Waterton Parks, and I had my eye on doing

A couple more captures as we made our way around the Cranbrook Community’s Forest. Some decent views from this short hike. On the opposite side of the forest you can take the higher elevation route to

The Cranbrook Community Forest is home to a few different lakes and ponds. This one is called Kettle “lake”, arguably more of a large pond than a lake. The hike there only took about a half hour with little

Here we are on the second Friday of October! Things are starting to cool down here in western Canada, no surprise, it’s October. Did you get up to anything exciting this week? How about plans for the weekend,
