I love hiking in Waterton Lakes National Park where I spend a lot of my summer with my grandma. My favourite trail is Bears Hump! I love watching the elk rut and hearing them bugle. Every night at the cabin I watch the bats swoop down past my head while I lay on a blanket on the front lawn with my sisters and friends. I love looking for bears all over the park, and especially love fawning season where I get to see new born fawns placed by their mamas right outside the cabin!
I love octopus’ because they have 3 hearts, 9 brains, and they breathe through their armpits! And the octopus’ cousin, the squid, can bite you through their suction cups!🐙🦑
Paddle boarding across the narrows in Waterton, where we once saw a mama bear and 2 cubs swimming across the water. After the narrows we go past a spot we named butterfly beach because it’s covered in monarch butterflies on a hot summer day. After that we go past what we call the echo forest, where my sisters and I yell and listen for our echoes and often see eagles fly overhead! Then we jump off the dock at Vimy landing on the other side of the lake and paddle back to the cabin to warm up! 🛶🐻
