Chasing waterfalls, cliffside trails, and alpine magic at Crypt Lake, Waterton Lakes National Park 🏔️ One of Canada’s most epic hikes and views, if adventure is calling, this is your sign. #cryptlake #watertonlakesnationalpark #watertonlakes #canadianrockies #explorecanada hikealberta hikingadventur

The smaller waterfall coming out from Crypt Lake gets framed really well from along the trail. Probably liked it the most (splitting hairs).

One of the many good views along the shoreline of Crypt Lake, Sarcee Mountain rises above it all from the US side of the border just off of the trail.

The viewpoint from maybe 15 ft beside the main waterfall, which you can also get on top of. Unnamed lake below and I am not sure if that peak would be considered base of Sarcee Mountain or something else.

Trail shot from when you are near level with Crypt Lake but still maybe half a mile away. Sarcee mountain forms the bowl around the lake.
