We also got to see a couple of places firmly etched in Carol's mind, the old motor inn that she and Brian had stayed at 30 years ago in their previous trip, and also the bicycle shop that had ripped them off of their $50 (US) deposit.
On our way back from Waterton, we Stopped at a couple of the visitors centers which normally have been too busy to allow us to find parking. We loved checking out the really impressive views especially from the Logan Pass Visitors center which is at the Continental divide. The continental divide by the way is pretty much the high part of the country. All water that falls on the east side of the continental divide flows eventually to the Atlantic ocean or south to the shores off of Louisiana. All water that falls on the west of the continental Divide flows west to the Pacific ocean.
We are truly enjoying our trip this summer. Though we have had a few bumps along the way such as the refrigerator door falling off the night before we were supposed to depart and the retractable steps completely giving up the ghost the morning that we departed, things have been working out great and we are having a wonderful time. All of our planning has seemed to work out well for us too. We had absolutely no problems making it to Canada and back, even though our new Jeep Wrangler does not have plates yet. The Customs folks on both the Canadian and US Ports of Entry have been very understanding and had the knowledge to deal with the issue.
It just goes to show you, be sure to plan ahead and a be sure to have a current passport if you are traveling internationally. If you do that, the rest is a piece of cake!
Safe travels all.
