Icy International Peace Gardens!

The International Peace Gardens are a park that is joint maintained by both the US and Canada on the border between Canada and North Dakota. You actually have to go through a border post in order to get back into your country after you go in, so bring your passport. 

Being crazy-go-nuts individuals we decided to see what the peace gardens looked like with snow and ice and windchill. It looked amazing, and there was NO ONE there at all. It was sweet. 

This post will be more photo heavy than the Lake Metigoshe one, because we weren't here as long. Photos still all taken on my X-T1 or X-Pro1 because same trip. 

These first photos are from the American side, where we drove first looking for... whatever... (We actually went to the American side first, then went to the Canadian side, then back to the US side, but I'm going to group the photos by US and Canada, for simplicity.) 

This grove here was sweet. 

Now that is all and good, but I really liked the Canadian side a lot more than the American side. The frost was crazy-go-nuts over there, and they had so many more trees. 

There was definitely more frost one one side of the trees than on the other, which was pretty cool. 

And my brother did take some photos, it wasn't just me!

He also sampled some of the local cuisine. Mmmmm, frosty. 

And I'll leave you with that! All in all a really great trip, and I'll have to try to do it again in the summer or fall or something. 

Thanks!
