We woke up in Waterton where it had rained all night long and continued to rain in the morning. Andrew again checked his smart phone and determined that the better weather was still to the north of us. But before leaving Waterton, we decided to see and do what we could. We stopped at a visitor center and asked about hiking a trail that started at Cameron Lake. We were told that we couldn’t possibly make that hike without crampons and ice picks. Somewhere back in our family history, someone must have spent time in Missouri, the “Show-Me” state, because we decided to go and see for ourselves whether or not we could make the hike without crampons and ice picks.

We couldn’t make the hike. We did make it to the parking lot as you can see in the first two photos. You can also see Cameron Lake in the third photo. The trail head was just to the left of the lake. We turned around and went in search of a hike that we could make.
