Glacier National Park (US) Waterton Lakes (Canadian)
These picturesque red buses transport visitors throughout the park. They date from the 1930's, but were recently re-built onto modern Ford truck chasses.
The road across the park, named Going to the Sun Highway, is quite scenic, but is also narrow, with very steep drop offs. Vehicles over 21 feet are prohibited.
The Prince of Wales hotel sits high atop a bluff, above Waterton Lakes, in the Canadian portion of the park.
Yes! It snowed! Logan's Pass, where Going To The Sun Road crosses the Continental Divide, was closed when we arrived. They plowed it for hours to open it the following day. There had been drifts from 3 to 20 feet deep on the road.
