After a boat shuttle across Waterton Lake, hikers set off onto the trail which includes four waterfalls, a natural tunnel and a short cable-assisted ledge portion as well as an assortment of wildlife. The destination of the hike is Crypt Lake, a crystal-clear turquoise-coloured lake at the base of a horse-shoe shaped granite wall.
