Alderson-Carthew Hike - Waterton
Summary of the Alderson-Carthew hike in Waterton Alberta. Approximately 20 km round trip. One of the 3 hikes that make up the Triple Crown of Waterton. So many things to see! Something new and exciting around every corner. We took lots of pictures and lingered through out the hike and we finished it in 8 1/2 hours.
Cameron Lake to Waterton Townsite, with the summit of Mt. Carthew
Sorry it's mostly just a slideshow, but I had to get a 22km hike with 1000m elevation gain then 1500m loss complete in less than half a day. Managed to do the whole trip then drive 3 hours back to Calgary by sunset! My first solo back country adventure too.
It was an incredible day. Started at the Cameron Lake boathouse, hiked up to Hidden Lake, headed up to the col known as Carthew Summit between Mt. Carthew and Mt. Alderson, then headed up to the REAL summit of Mt. Carthew. From there, I headed past the three Carthew Lakes and Alderson Lake, towards the town of Waterton.
After almost seven hours on foot almost entirely alone, with less than a minute of hiking to go, I encountered a black bear face to face right at the town boundary. It was an adventure, for sure!
Waterton Lakes National Park Hiking: Bertha Lake // Road Trip 2019
Waterton Lakes National Park -- As beautiful as Banff? Certainly smaller, and less crowded! But man, this place is picturesque. Incredible hikes, crystal clear lakes, beautiful views, and a tiny tow -- Waterton Village -- with all the amenities you need, whether you are camping, RVing, or staying in a hotel. Waterton Lakes National Park is like a warm-up to Banff -- less popular, less famous, and incredibly beautiful. We loved our time in Waterton!
Now off to Banff!

Blakiston Falls & Snowshoe Trail - Waterton Lakes National Park
The Blakiston Falls Trail starts right at the end of the Red Rock Parkway where there are bridges and interpretive signs for the three creeks that come together as one. A short walk up Blakiston Creek brings you to the lovely Blakiston Falls where there are two different vantage points. Beyond that, the trails meanders up along Blakiston Creek ducking in and out of trees. Mountain Goats can be seen grazing in the hills above. The hill then begins to climb aggressively and you reach a trail junction heading south to Lone Lake or north to Twin Lakes. I went north so I could loop back to my car via the Snowshoe Trail.
By the time you reach the aforementioned junction, you are up in the alpine with trees such as the Subalpine Larch and Subalpine Fir as well as birds and flowers of the high country. You visit magnificent ponds and lakes as you go over ridges to new drainages and amazing cirques. If you're coming from the south as I was, you'll come to the quaint Lower Twin Lake first, then Upper Twin Lake where you can camp. Upper Twin Lake is at the base of the red cliff walls and looks up to Sage Pass. A side trip up Sage Pass yields wonderful views and brings you to the border of Waterton Lakes National Park.
As you head on down from Upper Twin Lake, the trees get denser and you end up on the Snowshoe Trail Campground which is surrounded in trees. From there the trail is a freeway where two can easily walk side by side as it's an old road. You follow Bauerman Creek out to Red Rock Canyon where you duck in and out of trees and meadows. It's a great place to see a variety of birds and the wooded mountains are wonderful. This section of the trail can be traveled by bicycle.
Overall a great couple of trails. I'm not sure I'd make the Blakiston Creek portion part of my trip as the Lone Lake section all the way to Twin Lakes and out Snowshoe or perhaps around Avion Ridge might be more enjoyable.
