Waterton Lakes National Park has officially opened its gates to visitors, and despite strong health guidelines related to COVID-19, plenty of people made the journey on Monday.
For Australian expat sisters Finn and Mieka Thorogood, the drive to Waterton from Black Diamond, Alta., on opening day was the perfect trip. “We’re just trying to find things that we can look at and walk around,” Finn said. “Just being in the mountains… I mean, look at them, it’s awesome,” Meika added.
They’ve been once before, but said this year means so much more, even with COVID-19 restrictions. “Even a half-hour walk is great,” added Mieka.
