Distance: 2.8 km/1.8 miles, Elevation: 225 m/738 feet

Rating: Moderate, Timing: 1 hour

It’s a local favourite and visitors love it, too. Delivers Waterton’s most famous view from an outcropping on Crandell Mountain. It’s known as “Bear Mountain” by the Blackfoot Indigenous peoples, because it looks like the outline of a grizzly bear. The trail starts at the parking area across from the Prince of Wales Hotel. The path is a short, steep climb up a rocky trail. Near the top is a final set of steps that lead up to the flat “hump”. This vantage point delivers amazing vistas of the mountain peaks and the townsite. Check out Tamarack Outdoors and their Local Hiking Guides for hikes and activities on this trail and others.

The single-speed Surrey bike is perfect for touring the townsite as a family, while an e-bike will get you miles out of town without much effort. (Continued on pg 18)
