East Glacier Park Stopover

We spent two nights at the the East Glacier Motel and Cabins (see separate review) in East Glacier. We stayed in the motel part which was clean and certainly adequate to our needs. Don’t expect the Hilton. East Glacier is just a wide spot in the road but it does have a very good Mexican restaurant, Serrano’s. Excellent margaritas and tasty Tex-Mex cuisine.

Day Five Waterton Lakes Park: Thursday morning we had breakfast at the Whistle Stop Café (across the street from the East Glacier Motel) which was just OK at best. Don’t expect speedy service if they’re busy (which they probably always are). The restaurant advertises their “world famous” French toast. This was the strangest French toast we’ve ever eaten. Think giant popover stuffed with yogurt and a few huckleberries.

After breakfast we drove across the Canadian border to Waterton Lakes Park which is worth the drive just to see the Prince of Wales Lodge against the backdrop of the Waterton Lakes. The little village of Waterton is worth a look and is a good place to stop for lunch with several cafes.

On the way back to East Glacier we re-entered Glacier National Park and took the drive to Many Glacier Hotel. This is a beautiful old lodge on the shore of Swiftcurrent Lake with a terrific view of the lake and Mt. Grinnell.
