windy waterton

We spent a night in Waterton September 18th and would have stayed longer but the weather was rainy and windy. Of course, wind is normal for Waterton. We took a short hike above the town on the Bears Hump trail - about 800 feet elevation gain. On the way down the trail it started pouring so we hopped in the car and headed for Pincher Creek.

Just checked into the Bear Mountain Motel in Waterton. It's good to be back in Canada.

Enjoying a snack outside our motel after a walk around Waterton.

Ready to leave the next morning. An old fashioned motel with, WOW, windows that open.
