The morning started in town, viewing a couple getting their wedding photo’s taken at Cameron Falls in Waterton. As I watched, my eyes wandered to the left towards a sign with a trail head marking the starting point to Cameron’s Glacier, 5.8 miles ahead.

<\/p>\n

With my pack ready and strapped to me, I left the happy couple to start my own solo adventure, destination unknown….<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The temperature is chilly, but the start of the trek is extremely vertical, and the sweat rolls from my brow in buckets, cooling off in the morning air. After a mile straight up, the trail levels out to a spectacular view of Waterton below.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The peaks protect and guide me through the forest, my thoughts are my companion mile after mile. In the mid afternoon I arrive to the glacier.<\/p>\n

Others strip their sweaty clothes and swim in the glacial waters of the lake. Some rent kayaks and row upon the clear waters. I find a secluded spot along the shore to rest in the warmth of the sun.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Pages of a book turn til completion, my body is refreshed from the peace and quiet here. I take one last, long look at my surroundings, then make my way back down in the quickly diminishing evening light.<\/p>\n
