"Olsen" Falls and boat tour of Upper Waterton Lake July 22:
A friend who runs the Blakiston and Company Paddle boarding business in Waterton took us to a sweet unknown part of the park. It is at the base of Hell Roaring falls and all you do is hike a little ways up from the shore line and you have this sweet spot to cliff jump. He says you can hike up the sides and there are many pools to jump into. He also took us on a little tour of the lake all the way down to Goat Haunt.
 |
| Calm day on the lake |
 |
| Great view down Waterton Lake |

| Love the paddle boarders! |

| Great view of Crandell |
