This is the start of a Canadian 3 day weekend, so we were
unable to get any reservations near Waterton Lakes National Park. Thus we just passed through
the park, visited the town site with the Prince of Wales Hotel standing out
above the lake. This hotel was originally built by the American railroads to
provide a destination for their passengers where they could drink during the
prohibition years. Since we were running late, we didn’t even stop for a short
hike, just a few pictures from the road and then on to Glacier National Park. I
had reserved a night at Johnston Campground of St. Mary’s, or we probably
wouldn’t have found a campsite here either. We had a wonderful dinner at the
Lodge in St. Mary’s and a picturesque sunset over the lake.
