The Peace Park concept
Canada and the USA have the longest undefended border and as a UNESCO World Heritage site celebrate this by running a joint Ranger program on Tuesdays and Fridays. So we ended up going to Canada for a walk and evening meal, just for the day, via the Waterton border crossing, which is open 0700-2200. It was a great day, although very slow as you do the 7.5 mile hike an about 8 hours. As always, the National Parks provide wholesome family style entertainment. Our US and Canadian guides for the day
It as really nice to eat non-US food for a change. We were lucky it didn't rain that day as the next day due to bad weather (flood warnings issued) was spent watching our Dexter box set. |
