Aspen Village Inn Waterton Lakes National Park

We’ve recently made a trip to three National Parks: Yellowstone, Grand Teton and Glacier. The short description of this trip together with multiple photos was published on our website http://www.innaartwork.com/ (specifically in ...

... we stayed for two nights and had nice fires with glittering stars. Bogie caught his first ever Cutthroat Trout using a fly - too bad it was a catch and release river since it was the perfect pan size. Also got to see my first ever Dipper; a bird that can play in the rapids and swim underwater, if needed, to catch its meals.<br><br>Up early the next day, broke camp and headed for Waterton National Park - &#8220;where the Prairies meet ...

... feel totally relaxed and lazy. A cheerful old gent named Chuck comes to visit our campfire and plays some old rock tunes on the guitar, with eyes hinting at a lifetime of good memories. Meeting interesting folks is part of what this trip is all about, and we are glad to meet him and share some stories.<br><br>But the truck is still not right...<br>

... in burritos with some yummy salsa, spinach, and red peppers.  It was soo delicious!  There were other people camping next to us and they were really nice!  That night we all crammed into a two person tent- I would not advise it if you want to get a decent nights sleep!  In the morning we were up early to pack up our sacks and hike out.  We got back to the car around 11 am and then went on the Going to the Sun road.  It was beautiful.  Although, the sky ...

... suggests towards the end of the time the jump was used the fall was no longer typically fatal - this is revealed by the greatly increased number of arrow heads used in the upper levels to kill the injured animals. <br><br>Where no jump was available, other traps were designed. One option was to stampede the bison into a pen, or else into a bog, in either case holding them so that they could be slaughtered with arrows.<br><br ...

... that and the dog was happy to join in. We were surprised to see a number of trout in one of the streams flowing from the ice into a lake. It`s hard to see how they could have got there without some human help.<br><br>But after the last lake it was still a long 8 km trek home through forest. Even the dog got weary, and started to limp having worn through the pads on one of his feet. If he`s smart, next time he won`t run back and forwards so much at the start.<br><br> M.

... the name mountain goats no longer frequent this area. For increased border security the forest has been cut along the border, and you can clearly see the obelisk border markers. Many hikers backpack from Goat Haunt. There are two customs officers (one from each country) at the trail head. If you go past that point, you must follow all the regulations of a border crossing including a valid passport. Passports are not necessary if ...

... in the rain. The rain stayed with us on the way home from Canada. When we got back States' side, we moved to camp on the east side of Glacier. We had hoped to spend a few days hiking in the Two Medicine and Many Glacier areas, but, unfortunately, the weather turned cold and rainy. We waited a couple of days in hopes that it would clear, but with snow being predicted in the coming days, we cut out trip short and headed to South Dakota.

... et pays d'origine de gail et dan, enfants, frère et soeurs, fromage et vin etc etc) puis petite marche digestive vers le lac ensuite, départ vers un point plus élevé histoire de faire de jolies photos (point élevé à coté d'un hôtel genre très très cher, et surtout très très venteux) retour au village pour voir les deers et bighorn sheeps croisés en ville et le long de la route arrêt près d'une cascade (oui, moi aussi j'en aurais vu une, nananère ...

... on the trail having issues with people. Very Smart Party Mixer for a Big Hiking Group During the second half of the walk on the most level terrain the interpreters set us up in a sort of round robin natural phenomenon Identification activity. The ranger in the lead would point something out (a new plant, recent bear activity or whatever) to the first hiker and station them there to explain to all the following hikers. Once the ...
