I got lucky a couple of years ago (+26 day in September, creek was low) and was able to wander up the creek. Probably one of the coolest hiking experiences I've ever had. It was just so interesting hiking up a dry creek bed and seeing how the water carved the canyon over the years. I made it as far as I could go without having to rope up for safety. I keep trying to find another day to get up there but haven't found one yet.
As far as Waterton goes, I love it. Tons of hikes and great scenery. Crypt Lake is on the list for this year. Unfortunately with the late Spring/Summer, there's still snow everywhere down there. Hopefully it stays warm late into the year so hiking season can extend into October.
