The Pie Cruise this past weekend was a sold-out, delicious success!
Homemade pies were provided by local Waterton Lakes National Park restaurants and included a Strawberry Rhubarb pie (Bayshore Inn Resort & Spa - Waterton Lake), a Coconut Chocolate pie (49 Degrees North Pizza), a Mexican Flan pie (The Taco Bar - Waterton National Park), an Apple pie (Zum's Eatery), a Saskatoon Berry Pie (Trappers Mountain Grill), a Smokie Wiener pie (Wieners of Waterton), an Espresso pie (Waffleton), a Sour Cream Raisin pie (Welch's chocolate shoppe, Waterton), and a Lemon Meringue pie (Pearls).
We're already salivating at the thought of next year's Food Festival Pie Cruises...!
Come join us for our next Pie Cruise on June 4th at 2:00pm, in partnership with the 2nd Annual Waterton Food Festival!
The only thing better than a scenic cruise from Canada to the United States in Waterton Lakes National Park is experiencing while enjoying a slice of pie - or two. Local vendors will supply the pies that you can linger over while cruising by majestic towering cliffs, unique geological formations, beautiful waterfalls and snowy mountain peaks!

The Crypt Lake Hike was named the #1 Amazing Hike in the Canadian Rockies, by explore Magazine!
While the dock at Crypt Landing is not yet in place (and as such our hiker shuttle cannot drop hikers off yet), here is the latest trail report from Waterton Visitor Safety Technicians:
"The trail is totally snowbound from Burnt Rock Falls to Crypt Lake, with an average of 120cm of snowpack at the old campsite before the tunnel, and deeper at the lake itself. The main hazards are slip/fall on snow, and avalanche hazard. Ice axe, crampons and competence in their use are essential for reasonably safe travel."
It's sunny, calm and beautiful today! Come join us for our 1:00 cruise this afternoon. It doesn't get any better than this!
We now have three tour boats in the lake and are almost ready to start operating. Our first cruise of the 2016 season is scheduled for Saturday April 30th at 10am! See you soon!
Daily sightseeing cruises feature interpretive commentary provided by local tour guides. Hiker shuttles offer access to remote trail heads.

- Captain Michael was the best tour guide! Funny , intelligent and ver...y informative about the area , really made the trip more enjoyable than any other lake tour I've been on in Alberta , thank you See More
- Our family decided to take the Friday night boat cruise this past we...ekend. Some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen in my life. The boat crew was very knowledgeable & entertaining as well. My wife & I were riding up front doing the titanic movie reenactment when she spotted "something" swimming ahead. The great captain of the vessel had to cruise closer for a better look. Well if it wasn't a bobcat( or lynx) out for a Friday night leisure swim. The crew claimed it was the sighting of the year if not ever. Many photos were taken but I shot a quick video to see the little fella in action. Thanks again for this unforgettable experience.
