New city, new vistas. First time east of the Rockies. So Urban Pittman selected Waterton Lakes National Park as the day's destination. I think there was some mention of the weather turning for the worse in the next day or so, hence to the park, and outdoors, first.
The journey was south then south west to Cardston then mostly west to
the park. This photo shows the Canadian Rockies from north of Cardston.
Still distant, but impressive to Australian eyes.
The mountains are bigger - we're getting closer!
Cardston appears to have a strong Mormon presence, as indicated by the Mormon temple.
And next door to the temple is Mormon church.
Urban stopped the car at this rock, so either thare are many in this area,
or it is well known and on the regular tour stop! The shapes in the rock are
oysters. Meaning this area was once under the ocean.
Just before reaching the lake is a maintenance depot. These big horn sheep
seem interested in the works. Perhaps they smell food.
Suburban Vancouver then to Calgary
