Waterton National Park

Waterton National Park - on the Canadian side of the border - yet another national park with a hotel on a lake. Waterton is by far the biggest most impressive of the lakes but perhaps because is it not on a train line like Banff and lake Louise, it is not as developed. Its town is smaller and quieter but still beautiful.

Chief Mountain. Indians believe it is the chief of all the mountains and they still hold spiritual seeking ceremonies there.

  1. Chief Mountain is magnificent - Barn Bluff's big brother?

  2. Yes - It got me thinking about our Cradle Mt area and wondering if the Aboriginies gave any spiritual significance to it as I have never heard anything mentioned along those lines.
