Waterton is an amazing little town in southern Alberta, hugging the northern Rockies. It’s part of Canada’s Glacier National Park, which is adjacent to Montana’s park of the same name. Early June proved to be barely spring in this part of the world. Record snowfall had caused serious meltwater, and the rivers and streams were bulging at their seams. Waterfalls cascaded off of mountainsides, and scruffy-looking deer and bighorn sheep wandered the main streets of this little vacation hamlet.

While the photo of the highway going into Waterton from Cardston via Mountain View, is very picturesque it is NOT part of “Canada’s Glacier National Park”. This is Waterton Lakes National Park; the place I grew up in.
“Canada’s Glacier National Park” is in the province of British Columbia a few hundred miles to the north. There is a Glacier National Park in Montana that is part of the US National Parks system. The two Countries’ National Parks make up what is known as the Waterton/Glacier International Peace Park.
You can’t be serious… these photos are amazing! I’ve always wanted to visit Canada, ever since I saw Lake Louise on a travel show when I was 9.
