Well, darn. I assumed the waterton ferry left earlier than mid morning or lunch. They haven’t posted 2024 ferry departure times yet; maybe they will add an earlier departure time for those of us who desire to do a long day hike starting from goat haunt. Let me know if you know of another boat ferry ...

Hi- my wife and I and another couple are visiting waterton for couple nights in early September. Anyone know status of bears hump trail? Carthew-Alderson Anderson trail? Access to Cameron lake?

Question for the board:

Wife and I and some other couples will be in the park early September. Considering belly river trail as a point to point hike: either enter at swift current and exit at customs beneath Canadian border or vice versa. What do you recommend?

Thanks,

Dan

Tragic. Prayers sent for his family.
