Waterton Lakes Alberta

The Prince of Wales Hotel sits way up on a hill overlooking the lake and the town of Waterton.

Waterton Lakes Martini matches the lake's color (Blue Curacao and Raspberry Vodka)

View from the hotel of the lake and the hillside burned in the Kenow fire in September 2017.

This photo shows how close the fire was. The firefighters saved the town and the hotel but half the park is closed while they rebuild roads, trails, and buildings that were burned.

The "township" of Waterton is across the bay from the hotel.

The hotel and town were saved from the fire, but 50% of the rest park was destroyed

People kayaking on this gorgeous lake.

I spotted these 3 Westies waiting patiently while their owners ate at the outdoor cafe.

This is the MV International boat, constructed here on the lake in 1928, that took us on a 2-hour tour of the lake. The Waterton Inter-Nation Cruise crosses the boundary between the Waterton (Canada) and Glacier (US) national parks. No passport was required unless you chose to do the day hike to Goat Haunt Trail. The hotel is high above in the background.

Goat Haunt dock where the boat was constructed 90 years ago. You can enter the US Glacier NP via tral
