AUGUST 28, 2002 (WEDNESDAY)

Today we went on the International Peace Park Tour (covering Glacier National Park and Waterton National Park in Canada), leaving our lodge at 10 a.m., returning at 630 p.m. It included at trip to Canada (the Canadian crossing guards checked everybody's ID and passports and asked the needed tough questions. There was a couple on the bus from Japan and they asked them which airline they flew, which airport they landed at, which airport they were going to leave from, etc.


These scenes are from the tour stopping at Many Glacier. Chief Mountain is a sacred Indian place.


Our tour bus. These buses have been refurbished free by Ford last year. There were built for Glacier Park in 1936 by White Motors.


These were taken in Canada at Waterton National Park at the Prince of Wales Lodge. We had lunch here. You could pay in American dollars but got change in Canadian dollars.


Tonight at 8 p.m. a crowd gathered at the Glacier Park Lodge to hear stories by "Curly Bear" of the Blackfoot Nation. He was very entertaining.
