St Mary Lake, Glacier NP
On June 23 we traveled up the east side of Glacier Nal’l Park and crossed the Canadian border. We headed to Waterton NP, the Canadian part of Glacier NP, which straddles the border & shares Waterton Lake.
The Canadian parks are more integrated into commercial & residential activities than their American counterparts. Thus the town of Waterton is like any handsome small town with private houses and a busy commercial center, even though its in a National Park. We stayed at the in-town RV park with full hook-ups which was not particularly charming, but was close to everything.

We took the boat trip across Lake Waterton, crossing the US border again and landed back in an isolated outpost in Glacier NP before returning. We also checked out the main lodge at the lake.
The next day we moved to the more remote campground with no hookups, but beautiful surroundings and deer wondering through.
