Day Three

After a lazy morning and breakfast, I decided to walk into town for a second coffee, and then over to Cameron Falls, which isn't far from the campground. The falls were impressively loud and beautiful, and I was surprised there weren't more people around.

Later that afternoon, the four of us took a boat cruise, hoping to see some wildlife. We were out of luck, but it was still a pretty ride out on the water.

We enjoyed drinks and dinner in the Windsor Lounge & Wine Bar at the Prince of Wales Hotel. Great food and views!

We're used to tsunami signage where we live, 
so this was something different!

  1. Lovely! I was thinking it felt a bit British then realized you were in Canada. That hotel and the surrounding area look wonderful.

  2. The mountain views around the lake are magnificent! Bravo. Glad you took the cruise on the lake and tested the Prince of Wales beverages. Waterton is often the quiet side to Glacier.

    1. Susan, the views were so lovely! The lake cruise was fun, but we were a little disappointed that we didn't spot any wildlife. Yes, Waterton is quite a bit quieter than Glacier, but in the off-season they seemed pretty comparable.
