The Lower Bertha Falls trail offers a hike comparable in difficulty to Bears Hump, but instead of expansive cross-border views, you're treated to the refreshing mist of cascading water. It’s a perfect choice for families, thanks to its gentle terrain and minimal elevation gain.

As you make your way to the falls, scenic vistas of Waterton Lake emerge through the trees. For those eager to keep going, the adventure doesn’t have to stop there—continue on to Bertha Lake, an additional 3 km trek with 400 meters of elevation gain and 21 switchbacks. Your reward? A stunning lake shimmering in vibrant green and blue tones.
