Awesome Waterton Lake View

DSC07915.jpeg

I’ve done a lot of hiking in my day, climbed a lot of mountains, hiked a number of trails, but this view from the “Bear Hump” summit is one of the most awesome views of all! This is Waterton Lake, ones of Canada’s or I should say the Canadian Rockies deepest lakes. It is approximately 185 metres or 500 feet deep in spots. One other interesting fact about this lake, is that one third of it is located south of the border. Waterton National Park in Canada, and Glacier Park in the US. From what I have heard, Glacier Park has much more for hiking enthusiasts than Waterton. Guess where I plan on going someday? Have you been to either park? Thanks for stopping by.

“Stunning views and great details! Do you prefer hiking in Waterton or are you more excited to explore Glacier Park next?”

Good question. Glacier park I think will be more exciting from what I have heard!

The lake was beautifully captured.Honestly, It is like choosing between chocolate and vanilla I love them both. I prefer the black and white. It looks artistic. But the colored version is also beautiful. It captures the atmosphere perfectly.

My thinking is -- why not convert each photo into black & white, it simply adds more for us to appreciate. Thanks for stopping by.

500 feet deep in spots.

I don't know that lakes can be that deep. It looks quite shallow from the views and the picture.
Lovely shot of that squirrel, the subject separation is stunning.

This is one of the deepest for sure, although I would not have guessed that, based on it's appearance. Always a bonus to have a little squirrel pop up out of nowhere!

The lake looks freezing lol. Your black and white version of the photo actually makes the mountains look even bigger. Nice shots man, it truly is epic, what a scene

Mid Summer it will be swimmable, but still on the cold side. Thanks for dropping by.

The view in the first picture is very stunning. This squirrel also caught my attention, the combination of fur is very beautiful.

It was such a wonderful hike to that summit, seeing the squirrel was the cherry on top. Thanks @reachdreams.

Glacier National Park is beautiful, well worth the trip! Those are some nice shots of the lake, gorgeous. You even found a cute chipmunk to pose for you. Soon all that snow will melt away and time for some more hiking!
