The Crypt Lake hike is one of the most unique hikes you'll ever
encounter. It was rated as Canada's "Best Hike" in 1981.
The hike features a 15 minute boat ride across the Upper
Waterton
Lake to Crypt Landing, the trailhead for the hike. The trail leads
past 4 spectacular waterfalls: Hell Roaring Falls (1 km), Twin
Falls
(3.5 km), Burnt Rock Falls (5.6 km) and Crypt Falls (8 km). A
high-
light for many is the steel ladder and 60 foot tunnel through the
mountain. A short maneuver around a cliff (with cable for added
security) and you arrive at beautiful Crypt Lake. This trip is for strong hikers only as we need to catch the 5:30PM boat shuttle back to the townsite. Please note the carpool departure time of 6:00AM. We need to leave town by 6:00AM SHARP to allow for sufficient time to complete the trip. | |||||||
