Teresa's "Not-So-Daily" Diary

Teresa's Daily diary of Teresa and Andrew's travels. This blog is targeted at a general audience who is interested in our day-to-day happenings. As the traveling slowed down, so did the blog entries.

03 Sept 2006 Sunday

We drove into Waterton Lakes-Glacier International Peace Park.  Waterton Lakes is right on the US border with Montana at Glacier and this park is to celebrate the cooperation of the two parks in park management.  We walked around the town (while Andrew complained again about a town in the middle of a National Park) and found a place for lunch. 

We next crossed the border back into the US and entered Montana and Glacier National Park.  This is when we nearly ran into a herd of free-range cows!  They were all over the road, just staring at us like it was OUR problem.  I guess it was.

We found a nice drive thru Glacier, the "Going to the Sun" highway.  We stopped for a short hike out to Baring Falls.  The start of this hike was poorly marked, people had made too many trails along the overlook, but we finally found our way on the trail.  There were quite a few people, but not too bad.  This hike overlooked the beautiful St. Mary's Lake and was surrounded by several mountains, including the Going to the Sun Mountain, named from Indian lore.  

We finished the 52 miles of the Going to the Sun highway with a few million others.  The views were incredible, deep into the valley below, giant peaks towering above.  The crowds were also incredible.  

We continued to Kalispell, MT and found a hotel to crash in for the night.  We had dinner at Barley's Brewhouse, but shortly after we ordered beer and before we ordered dinner, we were informed that our waitress had just walked out.  We had another waitress for the night.  She told us that the place was in trouble.  We just wanted to know if it would still be in business for the rest of the evening.  We saw the owners cleaning tables.  The beer was just OK.
