(Yes, I know that, technically, geologically, some of these are in the Columbias, not the official Rockies)

Theres a startling number of tourists who come in to the ice-cream shop asking what vegan options we have, and I'm just like "Ma'am, this is a town with approximately 10 permanent residents, where you can buy handmade moccasins next door. We are naught but simple country folks who drink milk and eat meat, both of which came from farms down the road."

The Crypt Lake Trail is rated by National Geographic as one of the world's 'most thrilling hikes' and has been on my list for a number of years. It was about 18.5km round trip and consists of a pretty steady incline up to the lake, along with a few unique things like a ladder, a 60 ft long cave which narrows to 4ft in height in the middle, and chains to prevent slipping off the cliff.

There were some beautiful views, plenty of wildflowers, a couple of waterfalls, a short snowball fight, and even an illegal excursion into US soil (as per picture 8 😂).

Overall we wouldn't rate it as difficult, and I equate thrilling with scary so I wouldn't consider it thrilling either as I felt very safe the entire hike. But it was definitely fun and I would do it again (although it costs $32 per person for a 15 min round trip boat ride to the start point 😅).

Waterton Lakes National Park  // Alberta, Canada, 24.09.2022

I really enjoyed visiting Waterton Lakes National Park. The drive to the park was already breathtaking. We drove from Calgary and followed the Cowboy Trail south to Pincher Creek. From Pincher Creek to Waterton Lakes NP, it was another 40 km south but the scenery was so nice. I loved driving through the yellow prairie grasses while seeing the Rocky Mountains and some of its dramatic peaks appearing on our right hand side. We even spotted a coyote. It was only in a blink but I saw how he had a prey in his mouth and wandered off. It is an image I will never forget. Eventually we reached Waterton Lakes NP, where the prairie meets the Rockies.
