Day tripping around Waterton Park


 

Woke up at 8am feeling hot in the van. The sun had been shining for several hours and really warmed it up. A gorgeous day. After bfast we were just lazy for a while, soaking up some sun. Took the walking path into town, got a bear bell etc. Gord not feeling well, so we went back to the van and sat around in the shade.

 
About 4pm we had some lunch, then went for a drive up 2 very different roads to 2 very different environments. One with grassy plains, and the other at the edge of the mountains. We took a short hike at the plains road, back to a pretty waterfall. Forgot to take our bear bell, so had to whistle and talk now and then. 


 

The other road was to Cameron Lake, where snow came right down to the edge of the water, and warnings of grizzlies in the area. We didn’t hike there.


Back at the campsite we had salmon sandwiches and red wine, and just soaked up the atmosphere. It’s really a special place. Another gorgeous pink mountain evening, as the sun sets on the mountains. And it’s an almost full moon later on.
