Crossing into a new country, regardless of which, is always an exciting event, today however, there was more than one cause for excitement because not only did we cross into Canada, but we got to ride the famous “going to the sun” road through Glacier national park as well as Waterton park on the Canadian side where we are spending the night.
Our days ride…
The “Going to the sun” road proved to be everything we could have hoped for, and then some. I have attached numerous photos to best illustrate what we saw however, photos will never do it justice. On the road up we saw a bear and mountain goats that are protected in the park and must live a glorious life amongst this incredible setting.
We crossed into Canada at a tiny border crossing in the national park called “Chief Mountain” which was fantastic because there were no queues and the border patrol guys were fantastic and informative. We were in and out of there within 5 minutes!!
We are spending the night at the town of Waterton park which is on the lake and surrounded by mountains and wildlife. A long lunch with a great bottle of Champagne capped off the day!!
