Our last stop on our tour of Canadian National Parks was Waterton Lakes National Park. We stayed in Waterton Townsite Campground on the shore of gorgeous Upper Waterton Lake. Looking out our RV window we could just see the famous Prince of Wales Hotel. We fell to sleep with the gentle sound of waves from the lakes.
The next morning we drove the Red Rock Parkway and four female Bighorn Sheep were on the road right as we turned onto the Parkway. We had a beautiful hike on the Red Rock Canyon Loop and then the Blakiston Falls Trail. The trails wound through a colorful valley with a little river that cut through brick-red mudstone. The red rock was an argillite, harder than shale but softer than slate, formed from iron-rich sediments that were deposited on ancient tidal mud flats. The leaves were just beginning to turn, so that added to the beautiful color. It is hard to believe that fall is here...
