{FLASHBACK} Goat Haunt and Swinging Bridge Canada 2010


Goat Haunt is actually on the US side of Waterton/Glacier International Peace Park.
It's across the water and you can get there by boat.
So we loaded up and took a great little boat ride to Goat Haunt.

We passed the border.
See the line of trees cut down the middle??
That is the Canada/US border.

We took out our passports and arrived at Goat Haunt.




Here is border patrol stamping our passports.
They stamp it with a little goat.
Kate thought it was so cute!

In Goat Haunt there is a little trail to a swinging bridge.
So Ron, kate and i took the little journey to it.

It's a little scary and a lot of fun.
Swinging bridge is just what it is with rickity wood panels.
A full rush of water below and just some small rope holding it all together.

This was both, me and kate's, first time to the Swinging Bridge.
She liked it so much she even wanted to walk across by herself.
I would not let that happen. Too scary for me.


On our way back to the boat we stopped along the way to get some scenery shots.




The water is sooo cold (hence the name, Glacier National Park).
I swear our feet were turning blue.

Back to Waterton with a beautiful view of the Prince of Wales.

{FLASHBACK} Bertha Falls Canada Aug 2010

Ok, normally i am not a hiker.
But in Canada I love to hike.
Really, my love for {Canada} hiking started last year.
Everyone always talks about such beautiful scenery during hikes and it really got me interested.
So i ventured out my box and decided to try some pretty long hikes {that's another post}.
Bertha Falls is a shorter hike. About 3 to 4 miles to the falls and back.
So we decided to take the kids.
They loved it.
Mimi, Papa, Darren and Kate made a few pit stops for berry picking.
Saskatoon Berries are pretty popular in these parts {especially with the bears}.
Anyway, they are great to eat right off the bushes.
And boy... did they eat.

Another great thing about Waterton are the flowers.
I love photographing all of them {not as much as my mother in law}.
They are all so different and still so beautiful.
Here are a few photos i took while hiking to Bertha Falls.
