2017-06-19 | Lower Rowe Lake

Mary came to join us for one night in Waterton and we chose to hike to Rowe Lakes. Still pretty early in the season so we couldn’t do Upper Rowe Lake because there was still a lot of snow and too much f***king elevation to get up there.

With a few swears (F*** I hate hills!) to start heading up the switchbacks, we got out into the beautiful open valley along Lineham Mountain. When we hit the fork , we opted for Upper Lake first so continued on.

We arrived at the meadow at the head of Rowe Creek. Still lots of snow but many mountain lillies. Too much snow and a significant elevation gain turned us around to head back to Lower Rowe Lake and the falls.

Swears – 4

  • 2 Swears on first part
  • 1 Swear at the elevation to Upper Rowe Lake
  • 1 Swear at having to turn around
