Waterton Lakes National Park lies in southwest Alberta, where the prairies meet the Rocky Mountains in dramatic contrast. The park is known for its deep glacial lakes, rugged peaks, and diverse wildlife, all within a compact area that makes exploring easy. Trails range from short lake walks to steep alpine routes, with highlights including Red Rock Canyon, Crypt Lake, and the views from the Prince of Wales Hotel. As part of the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, it showcases both Canada’s mountain beauty and its connection to the broader Crown of the Continent ecosystem.
