WS09 Rest Day at Waterton Lakes Park

Published a day late due to internet problems at Bayshore Inn.

No, we’re not staying in the Prince of Wales lodge. But we do have this view of it from our second floor balcony at the Bayshore Inn.

003 It’s cool today, with a mixture of clouds and sun, rain and no-rain.  The weather is supposed to improve tomorrow, although the forecast for early morning is one degree Celsius above zero! But we’re primarily concerned about the wind. Yesterday’s last six miles into the park were tough due to the 18 mph headwind.

004 The next two days have a lot of climbing, particularly tomorrow – two climbs of over 1,000 feet in 5 miles.  The day after tomorrow, the “ultimate” ride over Logan pass and the “Going to the Sun” highway will take us to 6,500 feet

007 Last night we had an fantastic dinner at Del Lago restaurant.  It was so good, in fact, that we’re going there again tonight.  And I’ll probably order the same dish.
