Day 20 - Sunday, October 6

As it turns out we are about 100 kilometres from the National Park so a drive to explore took most of the day. The ranch lands along the way were a satisfying amalgamation of farming and energy conscious power production - not to mention a very pretty mountain background.

The Red Rock Canyon was a beautiful mountain drive on another gorgeous day. I guess the red rocks are deep in the outback for those who want to journey in and camp.

Magnificent mountain views, time honoured accommodation, the rich history of an iconic Canadian hotel and a price per night that would thrust many into instant bankruptcy, the Prince of Wales Hotel in Waterton is an incredible sight. With thoughts of The Shining I stared in awe. Too bad it is closed for the season because they welcome visitors even if they're not patrons.

The view is undeniably first class though today it was so windy it nearly blew us off our feet - and there's nowhere to hang on!

A visit to the Visitor Centre was an eye-opener, including this (pardon my French) the shittiest exhibit I have ever seen.  😂

Thanks for travelling with us. Stay tuned, there's more to come.
