Distance: 17.6km return (including Lower Rowe Lake, but
not Upper Rowe Lake) Elevation Gain: 960m
Please note: Lineham Ridge is one of those 'four booter' hikes, which means it is a premier hike in the Canadian Rockies. The portion to Rowe Lakes also has larches, showcasing their golden fall colours.
Description from Don't Waste Your Time in the
Canadian Rockies, Trip 2:
Both lower and upper Rowe Lakes are lovely, set beneath steep cliffs. But the panorama awaiting you on Lineham Ridge is astounding. ... You'll top out in an ocean of peaks bounded on the northeast by prairie. Lineham Ridge boosts you to eye level with many of the mountains on the horizon. The Lineham Lakes are visible in the valley north of the ridge. The jagged skyline to the south is in U.S. Glacier National Park. Hiking in Waterton, we feel more trepidation than usual, because bear encounters are more likely in this relatively small refuge. Be sure to make noise often. At least this trail passes through semi-open forest until reaching the meadow and talus slopes, so you can usually survey your surroundings.
