Two Medicine Lake

Frost warnings were posted from Waterton to Dillon – this might be the last fully decent weekend of summer. Laura and I swung over the Continental Divide and by nightfall were at the Two Medicine campground, setting up our tent in the 9:30 p.m. twilight. In the morning it was coffee and bagels, packing up camp, and idling to the lake shore. The water was calm and deep blue, but a few clouds were bunching over the high peaks. The paddle to the far shore was pleasant and took less than an hour. We left our kayaks at the dock and were taking our life jackets off just as the first motorized shuttle of the day was pulling in.
