Miner's Trail
The Crowsnest Pass is full of surprises. This trail along the lively Nez Perce Creek goes through a forested canyon, with ferns growing along rock outcroppings, and hundreds of mosses and lichens. This is a very local ecosystem caused by the creek, the Rainbow waterfalls, and the narrow canyon, shaded and wind-protected. Further up, above the falls, the mountain meadows were full of wildflowers, surrounded by pines, and so quiet. A magical place.

Past Bertha Bay and almost to Boundary Bay
This trail is full of wildflowers, shaded forest air, water, new undergrowth, and huggable trees. We were delighted, whether it was a walk, a wander, or a hike. Location: Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta Length: 7 km Companions: Samten, Annie, Troy Date: 10 June, 2022 |
