Hanging around in Waterton ...

Waterton is probably my favourite national park in Alberta.  It is so quiet and still compared to the hustle and bustle of Banff and Lake Louise (Jasper is another favourite of mine).  I also love the fact that there are no foothills, the Rocky Mountains just pop up out of the prairies, making the scenery all the more dramatic.  Mum and I had two nights staying in Waterton (at the cosy and quaint Bear Mountain Motel) which meant that we had plenty of time to wander around the lake edge and explore the surrounds.
