... Mountains.&#8221; This Canadian National Park adjoins the US Glacier National Park and is jointly known as the Peace Park. Funny that the main campground in Waterton (all other campgrounds closed) had no campfire rings -- glad the picnic shelters had wood stoves to BBQ our meals. Saw lots of game (Mule deer, bears) and witnessed over three different nights Elk bugling and rutting (plus the spoils of victory) - an interesting way to ...

... lots of tight turns and narrow cliff-hugging roads, some road construction and one-lane-only stretches. As we climb ever higher on Going-to-the-Sun Road (what a great name!) we enjoy the sunshine, which has been a constant during this last week. The lake and beach beckon, and we swim and lay around doing nothing, drinking mate and thinking about dinner ...

... elk.<br><br>The solution was to stampede the bison over a cliff and one of the favoured spots was Head-Smashed-In. It is not as easy as it sounds, for the bison must be brought to the vicinity of the cliff first. This was accomplished through an elaborate ruse. Braves would be sent to the herd disguised as wolves and calves. The 'wolves' would menace the herd, and the 'calves' would bleat in alarm and move the herd in the desired ...

... seemed rude to just pass them by and we were rewarded by some orange calves. Apparently they stay orange for a while until their livers get up to speed.<br><br>The first impression one gets of Waterton Lakes township is that the deer are in control.

Drivers never know when a deer is going to leap out from behind a car, just to test their reflexes.<br><br>We took a shuttle out to Cameron Lake ...

... and could barely see the glacier on the opposite shore with the snow down to the lake waterline. It is hard to say whether we got wetter from the rain or the water being blown from the lake.<br><br>For a change, we went out to a nice restaurant for dinner. We had delicious bison short-ribs with roasted local vegetables and a nice bottle of wine. It was a great end to the day.

Glacier-Waterton International Park, continued Waterton Lakes, Canada If you head north from St. Marys, the road leaves to the Chief Mountain International Highway-a scenic drive that leads to the Canadian entrance of the park. Waterton Lakes-the Canadian side of the international park-is beautiful and different from the US side of the park. Deer are everywhere in the town, grazing on yards and school grounds. There are a couple of ...

... nous, entouré par des montagnes et des arbres, avec au fond une montagne toute blanche ensoleillée trop trop joli quelques photos et nous voilà parti donc on a marché le long du lac, dans la neige, près des arbres, en faisant à chaque pas attention de pas trop s'enfoncer au risque de se retrouver dans le lac donc on a juste parcouru une rive du lac, en zigzaguant parfois entre les arbres on a vu plein de quelques oiseaux (Red naped sapsucker, junco), des ...

... beau on a vu des marmottes (on hésite entre Yellow-bellied marmot ou Hoary marmot), de tout tout près, et un nid de prairie falcon avec quelqu'un dedans, entouré par des petits nids d'oiseaux coloniaux (je sais plus le nom) donc après ça, il était comme même presque midi, départ vers notre deuxième destination Road trip donc sur le trajet vers cette deuxième destination j'ai vu des prairies de plus en plus vertes, et avec de plus en plus d'arbres au fur et à mesure qu'on s ...

... explain that they'd do better to change their lease period from 24 hours to one or two hours but gave up pretty quickly when it was clear that the restaurant was not interested in his free consultancy. Bette Bison for Prime Minister! We broke away from siren call of WiFi in time to attend another interpretive program. Last night we ...
