Crypt Lake Scout Camp Hike July 6, 2013

This was the final day of our Scout camp and it was a gorgeous day to start.  I've never canoed on Upper Waterton Lake when it was so calm.  The hike was also great, yet near the end as we were getting back to the canoes the wind picked up and you could see a storm approaching from the west.  We quickly tried to head back and had quite a time canoeing against the wind and making it safely back to shore.  After a few hours of waiting for everyone to get in we loaded up the canoes and headed for home.  I think we got home just after midnight.

Hardly a breath of wind on our boat rides over
