In the morning Boen and I went out to get breakfast at the corner coffee shop and then headed down to the marina to buy tickets for the cruise. It was another beautiful weather day --- clearly the forecasters calling for rain weren't getting lucky. Today was the first time the Crypt Lake hike was opened after mainteneance so there were a number of excited hikers buying the water shuttle ticket. The cruise itself was non-landing, and went over the history of the 2017 fire, and international boundaries and the origin of the park, as well as the recent sighting of the first wolves migrating over from Glacier National Park. The boundary markers were shown, but we saw no wildlife sightings except deer on the lake shore in the village.
Once the hike was over we headed back to the village for lunch at the hot dog place, which this time Boen was not enamored of. After lunch the others went back to the lodge to rest but I wanted more hiking so I went for a walk, following directions in the village for Cameron Falls. The falls were impressive and there was a breeze building making the walk quite pleasant.
When I got back to the rooms I suggested I drive everyone over to Cameron
Falls, and then the Cameron Bay before visiting the Bison Paddock and then
driving over to Cardston for dinner at the Cobblestone Manor. We took a few
photos, and then drove over to the Bison Paddock and to my surprise we could
see the Bison there even prior to entering the Bison Paddock loop. In fact, there
must only have been one herd in the paddock as driving around the loop didn't
grant us any more sightings.
