Oh Canada
My last full day in Montana was lots of fun. The Burdett's, the Templeman's, and I went to Waterton National Park in Canada. It is the extension of Galcier on the Canada side. We started at 9:15 and drove to Glacier. We entered at West Glacier and drove over the top and Logan Pass and down the other side and exited the park at St. Mary's. It is faster to go to Canada this way then to go all the way around the outside of the park. We stopped for pictures along the way. In St. Mary's, we stopped for lunch. Then we continued along our journey. We entered the park again at Many Glacier just long enough for pictures. Then we exited again and drove to the US/ Canada border at Chief Mountain. After we crossed the border we took pictures of the US and Canada flag next to each other. Then we entered Waterton Lakes National Park. We saw the famous Prince of Whales hotel, Cameron Falls, and in the town of Waterton we saw several deer and one sheep just prancing down the street. Then we drove up to Red Rock Canyon. On the way we saw a black bear in the valley below and stopped for pictures. We took pictures at Red Rock Canyon and hiked a trail to nearby Blackiston Falls. Then we got back in the car and went to a town in Canada called Cardiston. We ate a picnic supper in the car and got dessert at Dairy Queen. Then we headed back to the border. Once we were back in the US, we went the long way home around the park. We stopped at Two Medicine Lake, East Glacier where the historic Glacier Lodge is, and we stopped at the goat lick where several mountain goats roam. We drove the rest of the way home and got there at 11:00 pm. What a long adventurous day! We got great pictures and I can now add Canada to my countries I have visited list.
