Day 8....since no hiking for us....we drive back to Lake Cameron in S Waterton and scope out a possible future hike.  Our backcountry camp in Glacier a few days prior was just 2 mi over that ridge.

Getting out of Waterton, I take a couple of pics of the valley.  S end of the lake lies within the USA/Glacier park.  Note, in the first pic you can see the famous "Prince of Wales" hotel up to the right.

Then we get the heck out of there...decide to go back to Many Glacier and take the boat ride to Lake Josephine.  We pass Chief Mt. along the way back into the US.  Eat at Park cafe again!

At Many Glacier....you get in a boat...cruise across Swiftcurrent lake....walk 1/4 mi to the landing at Josephine...and get in another boat.  View from Josephine towards Grinell glacier...that glacier up near top is Salamander.

How dry was it this year?  Well, here we're leaving Many Glacier and Swiftcurrent creek is dammed to form Lake Sherburne.  See for yourself how dry it is.

After a long afternoon at Many Glacier...we decide to take the "outside" loop, farther/but faster...back to our last night in East Glacier.  This time we stayed at the Mt. Pine motel...more like $69/night.  View of the Glacier front as seen from the plains of Montana....somewhere just N of Browning, MT.  Again, one last feast for the belly at Serrano's that night.
