Here is where we stayed last night. It felt like we were stepping back in time. This hotel is over 80 years old. It was the dream of one of the founders of the Great Northern Railroad. With his motto, "See America First," he advertised Glacier-Waterton as the American Alps. Folks would come in by train, hop on horseback, and travel to chalets each a day's ride from each other. They would end their two or more week vacation "in style and elegance" at the Prince of Wales. When you walk in the front doors, you are greeted with a million dollar view of Waterton Lake through full length windows. WOW! The main floor opens up four stories high with dark wood and beams. We had a "suite" so to speak--2 small bedrooms with doors so we could actually have some space. The kids even closed their door so they could read in peace!
