The park is located in the Northwest corner of Montana, and crosses the Canadian border. On the Canadian side of the border, the park is named Waterton Lakes National Park. This park is all about natural beauty, and is dominated by mountains, lakes, grassy meadows, and yes ... glaciers. Sadly, some estimates indicate that as soon as 2030, all of the glaciers in the park will be gone, so Josh and I are fortunate to get this opportunity to see these natural wonders before they're gone.
We plan to spend these four days seeing the park on foot, in the car, and we might take a whitewater rafting trip and possibly even a horseback ride. There are countless hikes we can take, and as hard as it may be to believe, four days will hardly be enough to see everything, so we're going to have to focus on a limited number of things to see.
Another option may include a drive across the border into Canada to see the Canadian part of the park, and to make a beer run!
Having four full days here will also give us a chance to relax in the evening at our campground, since we won't have to worry about packing up and moving on. It will be nice to be able to just hang out, play some games and spend some quality time together. Josh is looking forward to doing a lot of the cooking on this trip, and I'm looking forward to having him do it!!!
That's really all there is to say for now. Our next stop will be North Cascades National Park, in Washington state. More on that in the next post.
