I've hiked and backpacked Canadian portions of the Great Divide Trail, but would really like to do the whole thing in one go someday. Highlights include: Waterton  Carthew and Alderson Lakes  Upper Kananaskis Lake  Bryant Creek area  Mt. Assiniboine  And a short half-day detour would let you stop at Berg Lake, which is one of my favourite places in the world  There's a hell of a lot more, but I just posted pics I took. It passes through a lot of great parks, like Waterton, Banff, Yoho, Robson, and Kakwa. It follows the continental divide, where are the really big peaks are in our Rockies. It crosses over the divide several times through some of the lower passes. It's easy to tell when you're crossing the divide, because it marks the boundary between the provinces of Alberta and BC, and none of the parks cross the border, so there are usually signs that inform you of when you're entering a new park/province.

Vivian Darkbloom posted:Nice spotting. Yeah, I also have an ambition to do some PCT section-hiking. I wonder if I'm really up to spending a month or more on the trail, but the JMT was just so freaking impressive, and I know that much of the Sierra has great stuff to see too. It's not quite West Coast, it's like 10-12 hours drive east tbh
