We reluctantly loaded the truck and headed across the Going To The Sun Road on our way to Waterton, Alberta. We stopped again at Logan Pass where we found an accessible viewing platform with a commanding view of the valley below. Mr. Purse did a fantastic job driving the challenging route.
We stopped for a few hours on the east side of Logan Pass in the St. Mary's Lake area. We hiked an easy but rewarding trail that follows the St. Mary's River (pictured). The trail takes you past St. Mary's falls (pictured) and Virginia Falls.
The east side of the park is different than the west side. The west side is green and lush, kind of like Oregon, while the East side is much drier. We passed by Triple Divide Peak where water can flow in three different directions: to the Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, or Hudson Bay. This is of particular interest to me as my current project involves watershed analysis.
