What a gorgeous drive down! Not a cloud in the sky! We went down Hwy 22, over to Pincher Creek and down Hwy 6. A bit south of Twin Butte, there is an overlook with fantastic views to the mountains!! At the end of September, this area was absolutely dumped on in a Fall snowstorm… our roads were great, but there was still lots of snow in the fields!! This first photo is looking south towards the Waterton National Park entrance and town of Waterton:
This photo is looking southeast towards Chief Mountain:
And this is looking southwest:
After leaving this overlook, we headed to Hwy 5 to Cardston, and down Hwy 2 to the Border. Then we used “The Duck Lake Road” and went around the south end of Glacier National Park and into Whitefish. The snow disappeared after crossing over Marias Pass (the Continental Divide), and we didn’t see it again until on our way home!
(With all the snow at the end of September, Going To The Sun Road through Glacier was closed at the top, at Logan Pass, and for several miles down each side.)
