About Waterton Lakes

Waterton Lakes National Park is a stunning mountain park in southwestern Alberta where the prairies meet the Rocky Mountains. Combined with Glacier National Park in Montana, it forms the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, the world's first such designation. The park is renowned for dramatic mountain scenery, diverse wildlife, and the historic Prince of Wales Hotel.
