Rowe Lake Hike, Waterton National Park, Canada



Goodbye Canada!


Our last day in Canada we drove the Akamina Parkway to hike Lower and Upper Rowe Lakes Trail. The trail was 8 miles total with an elevation gain of 1886 feet - not as arduous as some of our more recent hikes, but still a great walk.  The ground cover and understory - thimbleberry, huckleberry and maple were all turning yellow and red.  And the larch!  We had never seen larch turning gold before, so it was a real treat.  What a fantastic day and a nice way to say goodbye to Canada.
