Cardston, Alberta Mormon Temple

This morning we went to the Visitor’s Center of the Cardston Mormon Temple and watched a short slide presentation of it being built.  It was completed in 1923 and was the first Mormon temple in Canada.IMG 3789

Waterton Lakes National Park

Waterton Lakes National Park is located on the Canadian side of Glacier National Park. While we were still on that side of the border, we decided to drive into that side of the park. The scenery is magnificent, but the haze was so thick I could not get good pictures.DSC03538

We are staying at the Johnson’s of St. Mary Campground right outside the east entrance to Glacier National Park.  We drove five miles into the park this evening on the Going to the Sun Road, but plan to drive the entire road tomorrow .  It is very hazy.
