Camping in Glacier and Waterton National Parks

I was in Waterton National Park in Canada earlier this week with two friends from Seattle. We tried to camp but wind gusts of 65 - 70 mph made it an unwelcome experience. After the wind picked up the tent and moved it across the campground, we decided to find a motel. Hard core campers we're not!

As national parks go, Waterton seems more like a theme park. It's basically a high-end town parked in the middle of a beautiful setting. Nothing at all like Glacier to the south. The town reminded me of Jackson Hole, WY. Lots of restaurants and shopping...I was glad to see it, but don't think I'll be going back.
