Today we spent hiking and site seeing in Waterton Lake NP (CA). We hiked up to Crandall Lake and then drove to Cameron Lake. Cameron Lake is very beautiful with mountains on three sides. Lunch was at the Prince of Wales Hotel. The Hotel was built by the Great Northern Railroad in 1926 and it’s in the Swiss chateau style with spectacular views. In the afternoon we took a two hour boat ride on Upper Waterton Lake. The south end of the ride was back into the USA, to Goat Haunt, MT. Who has heard of Goat Haunt, MT?
Both Connie and I feel that if you are traveling in the Canadian Rockies or Glacier NP, you really need to think about Waterton Lake NP. It’s spectacular and not as crowded as the other Rocky Mountain national parks either in the US or CA. Waterton Lake NP and Glacier NP are combined as the Waterton Glacier International Peace Park.
We’ll talk again tomorrow.
