Today was an adventure! We traveled in a 1937 Ford vehicle which they refer to as "Jammers". They were built for Glacier to carry tourists and have been reconditioned in 2002 to meet modern specs. They carry 16 passengers, five bench seats, and doors on one side only, and the whole thing becomes a convertible with a little work. I'll attach a shot of one in a later post. Our destination today was the Prince of Wales Hotel up in Waterton, across the international boundary with Canada. We went to their high tea which was a highlight of the trip for the Sheila. I've attached a photo of us on the bluff in front of the hotel overlooking Waterton Lake. This was an all-day excursion so we were pretty worn out upon our return. Another photo I've included is of Chief Mountain, a most revered peak of the Blackfeet Indian Nation who once inhabited this whole area of Montana. Tomorrow we drive to a ski area called Whitefish and do their "walk in the treetops" tour, swinging bridges that they've built up in their treetops, wish us luck! Goodnight from Glacier NP.
