8/13/08 - Glacier National Park, Montana

We got up really early and drove back through the park to Logan’s Pass. This time the parking lot was virtually empty as we arrived before the visitor center even opened. We walked part way on a long trail that is right on the edge of a cliff. On this trail we saw Big Horn Sheep. Logan’s Pass is on the Continental Divide. We continued on and drove into Canada’s Waterton-Glacier National Park. It is also called the International Peace Park and adjoins the U.S. Glacier Park. We visited the Prince of Wales Hotel in their park that sits on a point at the lake and you can see both directions. We took a picnic lunch and ate by the lake next to Waterton Townsite then drove the 2 roads into the interior of the park. One led to a lake and hiking and on that drive we saw a grizzly bear. The other road led to a red canyon. We left and drove to the one road on the far side of our park that we hadn’t seen. There was an old hotel built by a railroad from the 30’s at this area also. All of these have a Swiss design.
