June 24, 2013 Friends and Waterton Lakes National Park

Today we played tourist and Lynne and Fred took us to the Canadian side of Glacier National Park known as Waterton Lakes National Park.  How beautiful!  This is Waterton Lake - the US is on the other side of the lake:

The Grand Hotels or Lodges in many of our national parks are impressive and so is this one:

We walked thru the hotel - WOW.  From there we drove through the Waterton Town Site and then out to the falls.  With all this rain, the falls sounded like thunder:

Last week, the park had their wildflower festival.  We were able to see many of the wildflowers but the rain continued - Sad smile!   We drove the Red Rock Parkway Road and the beauty continued:

Someday we will be back when the weather is dry - Smile.

We headed back home and enjoyed the rest of the evening.  It has been great to get caught up and hopefully we will see each other in Arizona in the winter season.

Thank you Lynne and Fred for a wonderful time.
