The Carthew–Alderson Route is a beautiful and well-regarded point‑to‑point trek in Waterton Lakes National Park, part of Section A of the Great Divide Trail, which runs through high-alpine terrain between Cameron Lake and Waterton townsite. Known as one of Waterton’s signature hikes, shorter sections, including the climb to Alderson Lake from Watertown Township, also make for a memorable day hike, offering steady elevation gain and unforgettable scenery in a relatively shorter outing.
