So jumped in the car and made our way over to Waterton and I was not disappointed. The mountains here never fail to amaze me and I love how they appear on the horizon and look so beautiful becoming so powerful as you driver closer to them.
We paid $7.80 each to enter the park, you can buy family passes also and annual passes if you plan on being a regular visitor. The annual passes can we either just for Waterton or for all the National Parks.
Our first stop was to buy me a fleece jacket as I had stupidly forgotten to pick up my coat !! All of the gift shops sell jumpers and fleeces so I can't be the only one !! lol
Once I was wrapped up warm we headed down to the lake and the views here are beautiful.
We walked down the side of the lake and down to where the campsite is. There are big wooden huts here for BBQ's etc. All down the road are houses and cabins for rent. As we were walking through where the house were we came across some deer just sat outside someones house - amazing
We stopped for lunch at Trappers Mountain Grill and trading post. This is a family run restaurant and the service was great. They had quite a simple menu with everything from soup / stew to burgers and chicken strips. They will also make up sandwiches if you want to go on a hike and take food with you.
Our next stop was Cameron Falls. This isn't the biggest waterfall Ive seen but it really stunning and a great spot for taking photo's. All around the falls are little gophers/chipmunks
We decided to have a drive up to the prince of wales hotel on our way out of the park. This is in a stunning location and the views from the dining area are out of this world !!
