High Tea...

We're off to Waterton Lakes National Park. This is the sister park to Glacier National Park in Montana. Together they form an International Peace Park. Canada and the U.S. manage the water, plants and animals within the park boundaries.

It was a lovely drive, and as we left Banff we noticed some interesting overpasses. Overpasses for animals. I guess if you have them for bicycles and pedestrians, you should have them for the wildlife. Covered with trees and grass. At least you don't worry about meeting "the neighbors" in your automobile.


We landed in Pincher Creek, AB at a little municipal campground. The hosts couldn't have been nicer, and we were only about 30 miles west of the route we took into Canada at the beginning of this journey. Big Circle.






Next morning, we headed to Waterton Township, inside Waterton Lakes National Park. It's a sweet little town, on a pristine lake. We had a walk, ate with the locals and then headed to The Prince of Wales Hotel, for high tea. And what a place to have tea. 




















Tea is served in the hotel lobby, in front of floor to ceiling windows looking out over Waterton Lake. It was awesome. Yummy food and views to die for. And we met an interesting couple from Edmonton. Meeting new people is one of the best things about traveling.





After all that good food we decided to walk it off at Red Rock Canyon. Aptly named, as you can see. 

It was a beautiful day, again. We could get spoiled to this.
