In the beautiful Crowsnest Pass of southwestern Alberta, you'll find Chinook Lake with this easy 2km loop hike around the lake if you start from the bottom day use area/Camping section C. Even on a rainy morning, it was a lovely late spring hike with plenty of wildflowers and beauty to see. Very toddler friendly walk around Chinook Lake.

So many visitors to Chinook Lake, and they're not all human. You're in bear country here. Find some soft ground and see how many different animal tracks you can find.

Fresh mountain air, birds singing, rain drops on the trees above and a virtually empty campground. Simply peaceful on Chinook Lake

Chinook lake has very low water right now. Usually this would be a bench seat location with a nice lake view. Instead it's a bit dried up

A very mossy area, it pretty cool to see all the different shades of green around Chinook Lake

This particular plant was holding the water droplets in a very eye catching way

June is a wonderful time to hike the Chinook Lake loop. It can be cold but rewarding. It was rainy and 5 degrees in mid June.

It was neat to see and hear the water flowing under my shoes, beneath the trees and back out of the ground into Chinook Lake.

2km around the lake through the marsh area, over the clear creek, along the exposed soide covered in wildflowers.

Cute little mushrooms popping up along the creek. This would make a great back drop for a fairy garden
