Crypt Lake, Most beautiful hike.
Just in time to catch the boat to get
to the trail start.
A cliff to pass, a ladder to climb, then a
natural very small tunnel, and this continues with
some goat tracks, and some steep climbing
(good that there are chains)
just to add to the adventure.
Story of a waterdrop.
Just laying there in the sun, just waiting to melt,
dropping into the crypt lake.
Yes, I'm standing on the ice, slowly waiting to melt.
Coming back from the ice, at the end of the lake,
The water drop is slowly, slowly moving towards the exit.
Soon, the water drop will fall the first drop of 500 ft.
All power comes out.
While I'm hiking back the cliff, the tunnel, the multiple
zig zags, and in each turn a magnificent view on the
waterfall and the valley.
Then slowly drain into another lake. All made by a
glacier.
And the cycle starts again.
A full free fall of 300 ft making
over time a yellow canyon.
And from there, down, sometimes steep, sometimes
smooth, sometimes turning a corner.
All finishing in Waterton Lake.
Climbed from 4,114 ft (1,254 m) to 9,074 ft (2,766 m)
to get to the snow, just to observe how the water
dropped all this way into the 'Waterton' lake,
where the boat waits to bring me back.
