All our junk is about packed up to go (lower left).
We took the 10 AM tour boat. In the background is the Prince of Wales Hotel.
It is where the Queen would stay. There used to be several grand hotels about this lake which falls across the US/Canadian border into Montana (Glacier Park). The Grand Hotels were built in the early 1900's. Guests would travel by horseback expedition from one to another. Beth learned about this boat tour online. It was the only one still in operation this late in the season.
Note the castle-like appearance of this mountain. It's a popular place for climbers.
Can you find the Canada/US border? It's a mowed strip. The boat has to slow down as it crosses the border.
At the far (south) end of the lake, looking back
At the south end of the lake this ranger station is the point of entry if you take the 9 mile hike down from Waterton.
We did not see any bears or wildlife that the guide said are abundant in summer.
Back to Waterton. This was a windy, freezing ride. We had packed winter weight clothes and we used them on this day!
After Waterton, we headed south back into US and around the south of Glacier
Upstream from Lake McDonald was a series of falls.
Lake McDonald. Sun was scarce along Into the Sun Highway
Headed for Wallace. In MT the speed limit is reduced to 65 mph. Generally sharp curves have solid yellow lines. Hair-pin curves may have 45 mph caution signs.
