Bertha Falls

Wednesday June 29, 2022

Today we decided to hike up to Bertha Falls. Every where that Ben went he was trying to figure out what all of the plants were. Googles new search function was pretty good at identifying most of them.

It was very strange to hike through all of the dead trees.

Bertha Falls were beautiful and it looks like this part of the mountain was spared by the fire.

Some of the kids wanted to play in the water so Mom and I stayed back with them and everyone else headed down the mountain.

When I was a kid living in Waterton I was hopelessly in love with Christine Hunter so I carved our names on this rock retaining wall. At the time the wall was new but now after fifty years of erosion the wall does not look so new anymore and there is no sign of Christine on the wall.

Once we were all down from the mountain we rented surreys and cruised around town. It was very tiring because the little kids are not much help on the peddles.

Once it got dark we decided to hike up Bears Hump. That is always a fun hike.
