If you are okay with a short scrambly portion the best hike in Waterton is the Forum and Wall lake hikes connected by Akamina Ridge. You hike out to Forum lake then climb up the saddle and scramble up onto the Ridgeline from there you hike along the relatively wide (for a ridgelne) and hike down near Wall lake. The only difficult part is a short maybe 15-20 foot steep section which while not a true scramble you do need to use your hands for support. I wouldn't say it is exposed but you would hurt yourself if you fell. It is non-committing though so if you decide it is too steep or exposed for your liking you can turn around and any point and the hike would still be worthwhile just not the best.
