Waterton Pt 2
(SEE BELOW FOR PART 1)
The hike was really interesting as we learnt all about the area, the nature (I ate wild huckleberries - never knew they existed before) and how Canada & the US work together to preserve the site. We also heard how they've worked together on some pretty dramatic rescues in the area.
As you can see on the left, the border is clearly marked with both the commemorative pillar and the cutting through the trees which goes right across the park - you couldn't miss it. Fortunately, since we were only going along the lake then straight back into Canada, there was no passport control in the middle of the woods - so didn't need my passport & visa! Once we arrived at Goat Haunt we took the ferry back along the lake. The suspension bridge I am crossing in the photo above was at the end of the hike, where the stream feeds into the lake - you could only cross it one person at a time.
Once we arrived at Goat Haunt it was a 35 minute journey in the ferry back up the lake. We started the hike at 10am & arrived at Waterton Townsite at 6pm; mildly sunburnt - but no blisters, very tired, but very happy as it had been a really good day out. I slept extremely well on Saturday night!!!!
