Itinerary:
Starting at Cameron Lake, a series of switchbacks lessen the grade to reach Summit Lake, where the trail levels off for a time to once again switchback to the Summit. Here there are spectacular views of the Carthew Lakes, the Waterton Valley and prairies in the distance. The trail descends along a scree slope to the scree and shrubs along Carthew Lakes, then down steeper terrain to Alderson Lake nestled among the tall cliffs of Mount Alderson. From there it is a steady descent to Cameron Falls in the Townsite. There is often still some snow on the trail at this time of year.
