Waterton Lakes


Today we started with a trip from Waterton Lake in Canada down the lake to Goat Haunt in the US. Boat was built on the lake 80 years ago. They built it right on the lake, on the US side so that it could be registered as a US vessel. The boat was built at the same time as the great hotels served by the trains.

Goat Haunt can only be reached by boat or by hiking in.

After the boat trip and lunch we went to Cameron Lake and rented a kayak. Paddled to the headwall of the cirque (sp?) lake and saw a moose.

Then we drove to Red Rock Canyon. Saw a couple of black bears on the hills above the highway.

Was hoping to do a big hike tomorrow, but they're talking about a 70% chance of rain. We shall see. It's been good weather until now.
