July 5 crypt lake trail. Waterton Lake
10.2 mile /14km 2300 feet of gain
Excellent trail, worth doing. Not one of my top ten all time hikes
Good parts - tunnel cable section and having to take a ferry across the lake.
Best part was the spring coming out of the hole in the rock which then pours over a 600 foot waterfall. The fall isn't completely vertical.
Snow patches up at the top of the lake. Ended at 6400 feet.
Opus did great. She was the only pup on the trip.
She needed a bit of help at the ladder and one spot on the cable
The ladder is 4th class with an exposed drop off climbers right. It's about 3 meters max
Cable is easy 3rd or 4th class. Probably 3rd but exposed
Take a ferry across the lake

Crypt Lake. The USA is at the far end of the lake.
Waterton Lake with the wind blowing in my face.
