On top of Bear's Hump you will have an amazing view on Waterton Lakes National Park. It's a short but steep hike, but the view is worth it every step, no matter how hard it might be. Locals make it to the top in less than 20 minutes, sounds like a challenge, eh?

No special equipment is needed, the path is very well maintained, though carry some water with you. The trail starts right next to the Visitor Center, where you can get latest information about weather, bear sights and other recommendations.

Don’t feed the chipmunks (National Park rule)!!!
Too many people have done that so they investigate your pack and steal any food lying around. If you make noise (eg kissing sounds) and hold your finger like you wanted to feed them, they’ll pose with you for a photo. Absolutely not shy.
