Waterton Lake National Park -

We drove to Albeta Canada to see the sister park to Glacier. There are no Glacier's here but it is beautiful. We stopped at the hotel "Prince of Wales" it was spectular with an awesome view. Drove to Waterton Lake with its walking paths. Here we were able to see wildlife - as we entered the park there was a small herd of Elk, a little fox, a small deer, then we spotted a brown bear and of course had to pull over and take a million pictures. As we contined the drive a black bear crossed in front of us. We drove to the Bison Paddock and as we turned the corner a herd of Bison was in the road so we waited and took more pictures.

We took a few more side trips back into Glacier Park from other entrances - Two Medicine - to see a waterfall - the sun came out for a few mintues so we hiked back to the falls. East Glacier entrance - the hotel is very majestic - Dick got a couple of great shots of the inside and we have some pictures of the outside with their beautiful flowers. There were flowers everywhere.
On the road back to our campground we tried to spot the mountain goats but it was raining and they were smart enough to stay where it was dry. It was interesting to see the snow sheds for the trains to protect the tracks from avalanches.

It was late when we got back to camp so we stopped at a local cafe and had dinner and homemade Huckleberry Pie. They make alot of things from the huckleberries - they are a little tart but very good.


The weather was so rainy that there were no river rafting or helicopter tours.

We are leaving for Deer Lodge on Monday - as we continue to the reunion in South Dakota.
