The Crypt Lake Trail is celebrated as one of the most exhilarating hikes in the Rockies and among the finest in Canada. Adventurers begin their journey with a boat ride from Waterton Township, embarking on a full-day trek. The trail ascends 900 meters over a distance of 10 kilometers (one way), offering a challenging yet rewarding experience.

Along the way, hikers navigate dramatic cliffs, climb an exposed ladder, and traverse a natural tunnel. Spectacular scenery abounds, with shimmering lakes, cascading waterfalls, and towering peaks framing the path. The ultimate reward? A stunning turquoise lake, inviting bold hikers to take a refreshing dip on a warm day.
