Many national parks have historic lodges (Glacier in Montana has a handful), and Waterton has The Prince of Wales Hotel which sits atop a hill overlooking the town of Waterton as well as the beautiful lake, surrounded by mountain vistas. We had heard about the afternoon tea and knew that we had to take advantage of it. When will we ever be back?
Tea is served from 1-5 with the last seating at 4. My advice - if you go on a Tuesday, do not show up before 3. A tour group comes through at 1, and they take up nearly every table, and by the time they leave and the staff has a chance to clean up and reset, you are seated around 3. No matter, though, it was raining a bit, and sitting in the lobby of this elegant hotel was quite pleasant. A woman playing a Celtic harp set a lovely ambiance.
Here is a view. Our table was the one by the window on the left.
Choice of tea.
The tea set.
The goodies.
The top tier is dessert. We saved it for last.
The middle tier was scones - walnut and plain, with strawberry jam and clotted cream.
The bottom layer was the "main course" with open-face chicken, cucumber and salmon sandwiches.
All done!

I LOVE going to tea at assorted places. They are always unique and usually delicious. This fare looked so good. Glad you shared the pictures so that I could "taste" the treats.
