No beer, but plenty of wives (Check your history to see who first settled the area.)!
Unless my memory is failing me (a regular occurrence) Cardston is where the Red Coat Trail begins (ends). Now I must look into these wives?!

Zipped through quite easily: one passport and one proof of inoculation and I was done. Very quiet crossing; the Chief Mountain border crossing has been closed for the last 2+ years due to COVID, so ILäs mer

It's warming up and the skies remain clear. Traffic within the Park is light, making touring on two wheels (and a clutch) quite comfortable.
