Happy Canada Day!
When I was a young adult, “hiking” held no appeal to me at all.
One of the first actual hikes I ever did voluntarily was the Bear’s Hump in Waterton National Park, Alberta.
It’s a great adventure for kids, non-hikers and … everyone. What a view!
Waterton Scrambling has a great post on this iconic landmark – Bear’s Hump
That excellent site has a post on another terrific beginner’s hike, Avion Ridge.
Waterton Scrambling – Avion Ridge
Waterton is my favourite National Park in Canada. I’ve been there perhaps 20 times. And I’m looking forward to returning for more.
Other Waterton walks in our list of the best hikes in North America:
• Tamarack Trail
• Crypt Lake
• Carthew/Alderson,Waterton

I wonder if Avion ridge should be considered more of a beginner scramble and ridge run than a beginner hike? At about 26km its not bad if you’re comfortable in the mountains, but may be a bit long if you’re new to things.
Cool duds Jeff
