Here....I am moving on to bigger and better things....so i'm going to dive striaght into it and talk about a trip my friend did with me out in Waterton Park. It's called Crypt Lake. I actually heard about this from a guy at work, who I wouldn't take for much of a hiker, but apparently does this hike every year. It is about 17.2 km's round trip, about 6 - 8 hours, after you get off the ferry. You have to get a ticket for the ferry, which can be for there and back and then you take this ferry across the lake to the start of the hike. There are two seperate times the ferry brings people there and back. So the boats start at 9 and 10 in the morning and 4 and 5 in the afternoon. It's $14 dollars Canadian for the whole thing and the boats are usally open from June to September. It's just a day hike and is rated moderate/difficult, so make sure your in decent shape before doing this trail, the time constriants can be a little much. Pretty much from the time you start you are hiking uphill. You gain about 700m or 2, 300ft. It's in the trees for a good part of the begining, then it starts to open up into some switchbacks that take you up a rocky hill. The switchbacks continue for a couple of km's and then you cross a little river to end up on a cliff face, where you walk carefully across it to a metal ladder. You walk up the ladder into a natural cave that is also in the cliff face. The cave slowly gets smaller until you reach the other side. At this point you are looking of a huge dropoff. You then follow this metal cable that is bolted to the rock face to a open meadow above. You slowly climb a little more and reach Crypt Lake. The lake itself is spectacular and is quite huge. It is at the bottom of a mountian base. There is a off shot trial you can take on the way back, which me and a friend took. I highly recommend it if you think you have plenty of time to get back to the boat. This is a great hike and it has some really great scenery for a day hike.
