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 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:
