at the Swiftcurrent Inn. This is the only bear we would see. We would see a few moose.

At this point in time, Swiftcurrent Motor Inn and Cabins seems to have found its niche in the world. It started as a teepee camp, where guests slept on cots after a day of hiking or fishing. The Great Northern Railway intended the teepees to be a temporary offering until the McDermott Chalets could be built, about 3/4 mile away near Swiftcurrent Falls. (The lake had been renamed McDermott at the time, but eventually went back to the original Swiftcurrent name). When some of the budget-minded guests resisted the pricier Chalets, the teepee camp lingered on. The teepees may be long gone, but the site's history of providing lower-cost, no-frills lodging remains unchanged.
