Day Four

Our final day in Waterton was filled with a couple of outings. After breakfast, Rod and I walked over to Cameron Falls, and then joined Lou & Shannon for a drive out to Cameron Lake, which was about 30 minutes from the campground. The drive was pretty, and we spotted a small herd of Bighorn sheep, but no bears. The lake was stunningly beautiful, especially with the mountains and clouds reflecting off the water. It would be a great spot to go back to and rent canoes or kayaks. 

From Cameron Lake, we drove back toward Waterton and out to Red Rock Canyon (11 miles from the campground). We were hoping to go for a hike, but the trails were under construction, so we decided to go back to the Prince of Wales for drinks before dinner.

Cameron Lake - Most beautiful lake... so far. 
It was pretty hot, but nonetheless, a gorgeous day.



Looks like fun!

This was a great place to spend four days. We hope to return someday!

    1. Thanks so much, Vicki. It's fun to have a reason to look back at them after a year.

  3. Cameron Lake is pretty. I don't think I've seen Red Rock Canyon. Nor have we stayed at the Prince of Wales hotel ... but we have passed it many times. Pretty iconic place. Glad you liked Waterton.

    1. Susan, if we ever get back to Waterton, I want to spend an entire day at Cameron Lake. It was so peaceful and stunningly beautiful. Red Rock Canyon was ok, but we were so hot and the trail was closed due to some construction work that was going on. Next time you drive past PoW's hotel, you should stop in for lunch in the bar. It's sooo good!
