There are several campgrounds closed in the park because of the fire damage in 2016. But they do allow you to bike those roads so today I biked Red Rock Canyon Road and Akamina Campground Road. Both were beautiful and I only learned later that the weird surface of the roads was because the pavement had melted and boiled during the fire causing the crater look. On Red Rock, I was convinced something was wrong with my bike because I couldn’t get any speed even though it wasn’t that steep. Ultimately when I turned around I discovered it was the wind. Not blowing hard enough to hear but hard enough to impact my speed. Easy trip back in though. I stopped to look around the campground while out there and was bitten by the biggest horse fly I’ve ever seen. Left a pump knot on my forehead for several days.
In the evening I took a boat trip on the lake. Wished I had taken it earlier in the time in Waterton because of the information about hikes I would have received. Oh well next time I’ll go for longer. And I can’t find my photo of Cameron Falls. Oh well..another waterfall.
