Hawkins Horseshoe June 16, 2021 Waterton Lakes National Park

 So today was my first Wednesday hike with the group I hike with in the summer on Wednesdays.  Well it was one of the longer hikes I've done in a while.  I had attempted the Hawkins Horseshoe years ago, but the day was way too hot and I ran out of water and never finished Lineham but today it was a little cooler and I had plenty of water and was able to bag the three.  It would have been the perfect day except for the crazy wind that howled all day long.  There is still a fair bit of snow in some areas but we had no trouble with any on our path today. 

Lineham Falls was ranging today

Icicles on some of the rocks on the way up

Ruby Lake down below us

This has always been one of my favorite views in the park of the Lineham Lakes

Another view of Lineham Lakes (I took many of them today)

Mount Hawkins has come pretty cool layers on its East face

More Lineham Lakes

The Rowe Valley was pretty full of snow still

Also lots of snow to go down into Lineham

Looking towards Lineham, check out the cornice on the right about to fall off

On top of Lineham looking towards Cameron Lake
