Crypt Lake

Unique & exhilarating hike (7hrs/hard/17km)

The excellent, if challenging, Crypt Lake hike is regularly touted as one of the best in Canada. The 17km out-and-back hike involves a boat trip with Waterton Shoreline Cruises across Upper Waterton Lake to a trailhead on the east side of the lake.

A (perfectly safe) climb up a ladder, a crawl through a rock tunnel and a section along a rocky ledge with cable for support all form part of the 675m ascent.

The rewards are the crashing waterfalls and the great glacial amphitheatre containing Crypt Lake (1955m); rock walls tower 600m on three sides, casting a chill shadow that preserves ice on the lake throughout the summer.

Allow time to catch a return boat!
