McDonald Lake, Glacier National Park, Montana USA

    This is a quick rundown on a trip to Glacier and Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada. We flew into Calgary, Alberta. Nice airport and the city is home of the Stampede. After a night there we drove to Banff and visited this charming community. Next we drove the Icefield Parkway to Jasper staying midway in Lake Louise.  Returning we drove down to Waterton Lakes national Park (Canada) and stayed at the historic lodge (noisy...would not again). From there we came into the United States and into Glacier. We spent several nights there including a visit to Kalispell and driving around Flathead Lake. Back toward Canada we stayed at Radium Hot Springs and enjoyed the bathes. From Radium it was back to Calgary and a flight home.

        Experiences: Besides the Springs, we were on a road through open range cows when we reentered Canada. The Mountie likely had not seen a car in a while, and we had a fun conversation. Going-to-the-Sun road is scary but worth it. It comes from the West entrance. You can take a red-car up if you do not drive, In Jasper over dinner the waiter, college student working summers, explained my allergy to tomatoes.
