"I wanna go somewhere I haven't been before."
It's a popular refrain with me, and fortunately, since I moved to western Canada, there are still plenty of places to explore. My first trip to the deep south of the province traversed a national park, a provincial park, hours of new highway, and a new town all in one weekend mission that started in the west near a town called Pincher Creek.
I don't even know where we were exactly, but I most certainly hadn't been there before, so I was off to a good start.
Shout-out to the GMC... I guess. ;) Thanks for not putting us in a ditch this time, ol' gal.
First "Stop the Car!" moment in Waterton Lakes National Park. That reflection, though!
Moving right along...
Waterton Lake proper encompasses the border between Alberta and Montana. The lake is made up of two parts, connected by a shallow channel.
A drive into the town of Waterton reminded us of just how much snow hits the area in a season. This was still standing at the very end of April!
More of the lake with the Prince of Wales Hotel in the background.
Then there were these guys! We counted at least twenty, spotted on the other side of the road by some young girls that were in the area with their mom.
And a rare wild photographer in his natural habitat.
Then it was on to the next part of the adventure. I took this neat shot through the back window as we drove out of the mountains....
... and east into the wide plains and massive sky of southern Alberta.
