Waterton Glacier Suites 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 ...

For many years we thought that some day we would visit this park - and it's finally some day! Words fail me as we crane our necks this way and that, constantly finding beautiful views to feast upon. We're camping on Lake McDonald, which is crowded but quiet. Lots of older folks like us, now that school is in session. Can't tow the pop-up through the park ...

... so there were plenty of them, but how do you kill this enormous powerful animal?<br><br>Horses are not native to North America so the image I had from kids' books of the Indians circling the herd on horseback and slaying the beasts with arrows reflects a comparatively late adaptation. Before the introduction of horses, the only pack animal available to the Indians was the dog, and they adopted the horse enthusiastically calling it ...

Waterton Lakes National Park is part of the "International Peace Park" with neighbouring, and much more glamorous, Glacier National Park in the United States. It is the same eco-system, same mountains and same glorious scenery, but it is the little unappreciated brother of the two parks. <br><br>Coming down from the north we spent the night just outside the park and headed into Waterton, stopping briefly in the bison paddock. While we have plenty of bison closer to home ...

... in from a pay phone with an 800 phone number. Jim relaxed and read a book in the beautiful lobby. It was warm and dry. After that respite, we drove the second scenic drive of the day, the Akamina Parkway to Cameron Lake. It was a nice drive, but rainy. We saw a grizzly bear on the side of the road. When we got to the lake, it was rainy, very windy, and cold. We got out of the ...

... centre. Back at our campsite, deer were lying in the grass near our camper. One even investigated the door to the camper, leaving a "deposit", perhaps to tell us what she thought of us invading our territory. The park is very quiet, with many of the campsites and businesses, including the Prince of Wales Hotel, already shut down. Most of the rest will shut down after the Thanksgiving weekend.

... contente: je leur ais dit, j'adore ça, c'est exactement ce genre de choses que je recherchais en venant ici j'adore, j'adore, j'adore bon, après cette charmante rencontre, on est reparti arrivée au parking, parkage de la voiture, changement de chaussures pour être paré à affronter la neige et direction le lac: un tout gros lac entre les montagnes, alimenté par le glacier actuellement, il est encore gelé, donc une grande étendue enneigée s'étendait ...

... autres en bas pour la nourriture, les outils, ornementations, vêtements etc... donc on a commencé à voir le site en haut de la falaise puis retour dans le musée avec des informations sur la vie des indiens, culture, la chasse et autre; sur l'arrivée des colons, des fusils et la perte de la culture indienne et l'extinction des buffalos bien triste, le genre de chose qui me répugnent et qui donne envie d'éradiquer la race humaine m'enfin bref sinon sur le site, c'était trop ...

... We dined, we laughed and we lingered over Saskatoon berry cobbler and coffee. We traded travel tips on other wonderful places we plan to visit or have visited. It was definitely one of those special nights you remind yourself just how lucky we are to be where we are at this point in life. The night was cooling but the winds had died down. A short walk back to camp had us crawling into the tent for our last night's sleep in Waterton.
