点评:Hiked the short and steep trail to Bear Hump on the morning of August 28, 2025. We arrived just after 8 am and were one of the first ones there. The trail is rocky and gains gradual elevation at first, then becoming steeper switchbacks and rock steps up to the top. There are benches along the way to take breaks and enjoy the views. As this area was burned in the 2017 fire, you can see through the bare forest which offers different views that would have been obscured in the past. The short 1 km trek to the top gains a whopping 235 metres of elevation so it’s a leg burner! Today was cloudy which was a welcome relief, as this trail would be quite exposed to the sun.
The views at the top are stunning! You can see the village, lakes, mountains and valleys all around. We scrambled up the rocks a little ways further to get a higher view towards Crandell Mountain, which offered even better vistas. It took us around 1 hour and 40 minutes for the round trip hike. This is a must-do when in Waterton!
翻译:2025年8月28日清晨,我们沿着一条短而陡峭的小径徒步前往熊峰。我们早上8点刚过就到了,是最早到达的人之一。小径崎岖不平,起初坡度逐渐升高,然后是陡峭的之字形弯道和通往山顶的岩石台阶。沿途设有长椅,可供休息和欣赏美景。由于这片区域在2017年的大火中被烧毁,现在您可以透过光秃秃的森林,欣赏过去被遮挡的不同景色。短短1公里的登顶路程,海拔上升了235米,真是令人筋疲力尽!今天是阴天,这倒是令人欣慰,因为这条小径阳光充足。
山顶的景色令人叹为观止!您可以看到周围的村庄、湖泊、山脉和山谷。我们又攀爬了一段岩石,以便能够看到更高的克兰德尔山,那里的景色更加壮丽。我们徒步往返大约花了1小时40分钟。这绝对是沃特顿之旅的必做之事!
