Thanks! Yeah it has been truly special.

Yeah, the way the mist softens the details on that rock makes them almost look like cutouts or something that has that sharp edge to it.

If you mean Glacier on the US side, yeah my favorite park that I’ve been to. I’ll spend a little time there when I cross over, gotta get in another go on the Pitamakan-Dawson for one thing. I’ve always been there end of season though so it’ll be nice to see this time of year. Waterton will be first time for me.

Thanks! Yeah, I think Stanley glacier may be my favorite hike up here so far, but they’ve all been so nice. There is a ton I’ll need to come back and do since I came through here so early, but I am more than happy to come back. I’ve got maybe 10 more days to check out castle park and waterton area before I cross back into the states for a little while heading east. There’s still a ton of daily hikes to post before then though, I’m just going through in the order they happened.

Damn, that is wild. Agree on the cats, they worry more than anything and I’ve rarely ever even seen any. I had wondered if many people went out that way as a backpacking trip, but I’d say you filled it in really well. Thanks!

u/ikidd I believe the final waterfall pictured is the one you mentioned as having the campground. Its right by the boundary of the wilderness area. Definitely not the same as what I originally thought.

Yeah, I continued on to just past the hill with the ropes to get up and then turned around after seeing that viewpoint of the long rapid/falls. Seems like it gets pretty wild from there on. Tomorrow I’ll post a group of photos from that section beyond the main falls. Although I couldn’t get a photo I like, I think my favorite section was half a mile or less beyond the main falls where that huge wedge rock is getting cut by the river before you start to climb again. I believe that is where the camping may also be. IIRC one of the falls I’ll post tomorrow is just upstream of it. That and the bridge, I love pedestrian bridges haha.
