I started my journey north to Canada today. My plan was to head to Waterton Lakes, just north of Glacier, then to Calgary, then the Canadian Rockies parks of Banff, Jasper, Yoho, Glacier and a few others, then to Vancouver and finally to Seattle, all over the next several weeks.
But first I needed the Internet! I drove south out of Many Glacier to a place I remembered having cell reception. I did some emailing and calling back home, did some research for my Canada trip and watched the final three episodes of Game of Thrones--wow, the final two episodes were sensational. This rainy, dreary day was perfect for such activities. I then drove into Canada late in the evening and to a campground set in the cloudy mountains at Waterton.
The weather cleared a bit the next day and I was able to do some hiking around this scenic alpine lakes district.
Waterton Lakes district from a high hill called Bear's Hump:
The chipmunks at Bear's Bump were very interested in the contents of my bag. The little rascal went after the bait for this photo.
Next hike was to Bertha Lake, a large alpine lake set in a Cirque of glacier walls.
The mountains in Waterton sometimes seemed hand-drawn into the sky.
And sunset again provided the best light of all. Blackiston Falls was set in a peaceful valley.
