Sunday, July 17th – Waterton National Park, Alberta to Glacier National Park, Montana - Day 156

We woke up in the morning to a few additional visitors to our pull out. We packed up and headed into Waterton National Park. The visitor centre was lovely. We spent some time completing a search for Indigenous names of different animals by touring the gardens. There was a great animal scat display. With dog tags earned we ditched the trailer and headed to the Red Rock Parkway.

The Red Rock Parkway took us through mountains to a picnic area near the trail to Blakiston Falls. We walked the 2.4 km trail to two metal platforms overlooking a beautiful waterfall. We needed to hurry back to the visitor centre if we wanted a chance to swim at the beach.

We decided to go see the Hoover Dam first. We dropped the trailer in the parking lot. We heard it might need to be opened at the security checkpoint and we couldn’t be bothered. The H...
